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)

Thanx for the pix Ury - from one who couldn't make it to Amelia last year! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I still think that I read somewhere that Peich's 914-8 was "presented" to him in`69 or `70, the Ferry Porsche's was "resented" for his birthday in `70 or `71.

I'll find that write-up somewhere ..... eventually .... about the time Ferg finds the one on the sloe `75 914-6! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I think a great conversion project on a `73 1.7 or 74-75 1.8 would be to build a 908 flat-8 with side-shifter powered "914-8 Redux" with all the latter 914 chassis etc. improvements!

.... but that & sendign our `88 Westy to RUF for a 991 running gear build-out will have to wait for me to collect on a UUUUge Lottery! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

One can dream though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
