My '75 914 2.0 liter was stored for 25 of its 30 years. Consequently it is very - very original. It still has all of its smog equipment intact and operating. It even has the "big brother seatbelt - ignition lockout operational.
I hear a rumor that there was a recall due to fracturing plastic fuel lines in '77. The reason I ask is that I have a fuel smell in my interior. Not just annoying but more than a bit concerning... Hmmm Anyone know more about the recall? Would Porsche still perform the work all these years after the recall? Anyone have a similar experience with recall work not done? Appreciate any help...

Thanks guys. The fourth lug bolt has been replaced and actually the wheels have been replaced too. I bought the car at an estate auction with all of the records and even the original window sticker. I was sold new at Sierra Porsche Audi in Riverside. The Western Wheels were a "dealer installed option" Meaning the dealer took off the original Fuchs that were shipped with the car and jacked up the price with some cheap alloys. It also has a dealer installed 8 Track which I will keep I think. I bought a set of Fuchs from a guy in the classifieds and got a spare from a guy named Mueller from Canada also through the classifieds here.
It seems too nice to modify too much and I am really torn on that since I am an autocrosser. I may grab one of Martin Bakers rollers for a race/autocross car. Thanks for your help on this, I will call Niello Porsche in the morning and have them run my VIN. Rob |
