914 - Motor Trend Import Car of the Year, 1970 - I had no idea Options

I never realized the car got such good press back then, thought it was always compared less favorably with the 911.

Came across the article in the Porsche 914 Portfolio.

Paris..AP French to Send Surrender Advisors to Iraq


In a stunning reversal of policy, French President Jacques
Chirac announced today that the French government will be
supporting the War on Terror after all. Five hundred
soldiers from the elite L'Abandonnement du Field d'Honneur Battalion
(French Surrender Battalion) of the Legion Etrangere
(Foreign Legion) are in the process of shipping out to Iraq
where they will assist the elite Iraqi Republican Guards in their
inevitable surrender to the overwhelming might of the
American Armed Forces.


"Eet ees important to be haughty and insufferable when
surrendering," said General Philippe de Peepee, the Commanding
Officer of the Surrender Battalion, who has personally
surrendered in more than 200 battles going back to Dien Bien Phu
in 1954.

"We French are ze world masters at surrendering, n'est ce
pas, not like you arrogant Americans who never surrender.
Ha, I spit on your filthy American victories."

President Chirac also announced that his government will be
sending 3,000 advisors from the elite Force du Collaborateur
Francaise (French Collaboration Force) to assist the Iraqis
in collaborating with the Americans while pretending to be
part of a non-existent resistance movement.

When Saddam Hussein asked Chirac to advise him as to how many troops
would be needed to defend his capital city, Chirac replied, "I do not
know. France has no experience in defending its capital city."
