Non-Appearance vs Appearance Package 1974 2.0's Options

[TM_Corey]

I have been looking for replacement "non-foglight grills" for my original non-appearance group 1974 2.0 and can't seem to find them in the normal catalogs. Then today I stumbled on to a 2.0 sales ad claiming that his 1974 2.0 was a "rare non-appearance" group car.

Is there any proof that a non-appearance group 2.0 was made in any less numbers then the AG optioned cars in 1974?

I think I understand from a previous post in this forum that by 1974 you could buy a "package" but you could also al a carte options. But did Porsche keep or publish any numbers on totals built?

Also, where can I get these grills to go with a newly chromed bumper and replace my old dingy beat up ones?

TM,

Don't confuse evil-bay or other seller/buyer/owner enthusiasm for the truly "RARE" cars.

Since for most of the 73 MY they were including the AG/PG options in the "914S" trim package to bring buyers over to the 2L /4, there were probably more with the AG/PG than without, since the without ones came along later in the MY when their prices escalated so much vs. the dollar, that they had to offer de-contented 2Ls to be able to continue to advertise the 914-2.0 as available for $5299 thru the end of the 73 MY in summer 73.

I think if you take both 73 & 74 914-2.0s without fog lights in however their options shook out, that they'd in total be close to the total of 914-2.0s with them over both MYs, but Porsche never kept records like that, & can barely get the COAs right today, & then usually only with the owner's help!

Check with Suncoast or Sunset Porsche to see if they can still get the non-fog "Horn Grills" new (I got some fog type L & R as of a few years ago).

If not, try at 914Rubber for nice chromed repros.
