Couple of Ultra-Low Production 914 Questions Options

[Tom_T]

So in looking at the 914 Production Numbers Chart in the 914 Info section on here, at the link below - a couple of questions come to mind....

http://www.914world.com/specs/productionnumbers.php

1. IIRC the 2 914-8's were produced in different years, with the one built for Porsche first, then the one for Piech a year or two later.
.... Is that not correct? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

2. What was the deal with the sole 914-6 produced in 1975? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
.... I thought that -6 production ended in 72 MY (aside from the test run of 916s).

TIA for anyone with the facts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

the 914-8 for Ferry Porsche (914.006) was a gift to his 60th birthday => he got it on September 19, 1969

the 914-8 for Ferdinand Piech (914.111) was - according to the "Das Große VW-Porsche Buch" - built in the same year, but a little earlier that Ferry's car

the 914-6 from 1975 was built because of a special order from a (special?) customer
it's a wide body car with 75-bumpers
