How many are out there today? Options

[mrdicb]

I'm stuck writing a research paper for school. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Fortunatly I had the choice of my own topic, so what did I choose? The 914 of course.

So here's the bad part-- I can't seem to find some vital information about them. Hopefully someone here can hook me up with some info (paticurally with a reference I can list as a sourse)

How many 914's are there currently estimated in the US?

In the members vins area we have 2244 listed and that data is out of date.....

I just faxed the following letter to the Manitoba DMV (I called and they weren't interested until I mentioned it was for a university project):

Sir,

I belong to a Porsche 914 club and one of our members based in Ohio is writing a paper for collage and part of it entails on how many of these cars survive. If possible could you search the Manitoba data for current numbers of the Porsche 914 that are registered (or have been registered in the past couple years).

We are not looking for any information on who owns these cars or where they are located. Just the numbers of cars that are still around and the serial numbers of these car in your data base. The serial numbers would help to determine if the non current cars are currently registered in another local by them being sold.

The years and models we are interested in are the Porsche 914 manufactured from 1969 to 1976. Of these cars there were three models, a six cylinder and a four cylinder . The following shows the factory chassis numbers:

914 CHASSIS NUMBERS Year Model Chassis numbers
1970 914/4 4702900001 – 4702913312
1970 914/6 9140430001 – 9140432668
1971 914/4 4712900001 – 4712916231
1971 914/6 9141430001 – 9141430443
1972 914/4 4722900001 – 4722921580
1972 914/6 9142430001 – 9142430240
1972 916 9142330011 – 9142330020
1973 914/4 4732900001 – 4732927660
1974 914/4 4742900001 – 4742921370
1975 914/4 4752900001 – 4752911368
1976 914/4 4762900001 – 4762904075


Your help in this matter would be appreciated .
