Anyone know why some 914s have the radio antenna on the right front fender as opposed to the left? I do not see any correlation with model year or market region specs. For instance, here is a photo of an alleged "Creamsicle" (US Spec - 1974) currently for sale in the classifieds (antenna on right):
...and here is another US Spec 1974 914 with the antenna placed on the left fender: Can anyone enlighten me as to what determined location, or did the Karmann factory merely have a single drill located between two production lines? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Some (most?) years there was a small plastic cap inside the front trunk area on the driver's side inner fender. Removing that cap was to allow the antenna cable to pass through the body without having to drill any holes. There is another similar cap just behind the radio to allow the cable to be run into the cabin.
