How can I tell if a 914 is a Euro or U.S. spec car?? Chassis/VIN number? What are the differences?

Gonna be hard these days, but...
-Lack of front sidemarkers (a lot of US cars have had them removed...) -Badge on the back says "914-VW-PORSCHE" (some US cars now wear them) -Lack of P-O-R-S-C-H-E letters on engine grille (a lot of US cars have had them removed) -Wolfsburg logo in the center of the steering wheel instead of Porsche (a lot of 914s have custom steering wheels) -Km/h readings instead of mph on the speedo Language on various stickers? I suspect there is more, but these are a few clues that come to mind. However, I suspect true RoW 914s are rare in the US—the 914 sold in bigger numbers here and many of RoW 914s were melted by salt on the roads. Seems like there are more US cars over there than Euro cars over here, but there are always those exceptions... |
