What to make of this label? Now that's a funny one, I've had that in my database of 914s with odd VIN or Chassis number for one reason or another. I found this question on Pelican: "I'm considering a 1975 914 in Burgundy with a cream interior being sold by a car dealer in Syosset NY. It's a 1.7 liter and a beauty with only 17,567 miles on it. The interior is all original. Virtually no wear. I haven't seen it in person but the extensive pictures show no rust. the vin is 4752901632. The car was repainted it's original color at some point, but it was a quality job so it looks factory." Obviously should not be a 1.7 liter, most likely a 1.8L, but just a coincidence that you posted that one. The "9" is a little funky in the VIN, 1 too many dots? Here are more pics including VIN and Chassis tag of 1632: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/cdn.dealeraccelerate.com-25305-1647381820.1.jpg)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/cdn.dealeraccelerate.com-25305-1647381820.2.jpg)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/cdn.dealeraccelerate.com-25305-1647381820.3.jpg)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/cdn.dealeraccelerate.com-25305-1647381820.4.jpg) |
