New to the forum and the car. Was pointed to it by an aficionado on The Samba— I have a ‘59 Karmann Ghia. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=723793
He suggested that the people on this forum were the brain trust for all things 914 and that I should vet one here that has caught my eye on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-914-113/ Any insight would be appreciated! |

I believe the under body dimensions would be more critical (suspension mounting points), but not sure how to measure those on an assembled chassis. Here are the only dimensions I see in the manual related to the area in question, that would be simple to try and measure/compare against factory dimensions.
Hope that helps... If you need an impartial person to measure/look at it in person, I'd probably have time this weekend if the car is available - just PM me. Mike |

It WOULD be fantastic if you could check out this car— and the timing would be perfect, auction ends Tuesday. Will pm you… |
