I am currently looking for the right 914 for me. Have found several 75 and 76 models but hate the bumpers on them. Can you replace the late model bumpers with 70-73 bumpers? If so, how hard is it to do and what all would be needed. I know you will need the bumpers but what about mounts? Will the original mounts line up right or ???
Greatly appreciate your input. tom... |

Been discussed pretty extensively before. A search will give you the most complete answer. The short answer is yes. However, the last two years are also the heaviest chassis (only some of that weight is in the bumpers), and have the most extensive emissions systems. If what you really want is an earlier car, I'd keep looking. They are out there, but you may have to travel a bit to get it. IMHO, this is usually a lot less work than trying to convert a later car into an earlier one.
