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? |

Boy, this is an interesting post. Anyone thinking about manufacturing parts for 914's should find this interesting.
I agree with Bowlsby the figure is 4000 to 5000 914's left in some stage of restorable condition. I would say 10% (or 400 to 500) are the best running ones. Probably the 6's and special LE's, etc. are most abundant in this group. I would also say 1% of the total (50-914's) qualify as the best. I believe we see this from our past outings. In my opinion these cars are drying up, just ask the guy trying to find a good project car. Just my 2-cents worth preaching to the experts. I've been telling everyone, buy up as many parts (now) for your future project because good parts are getting hard to find & expensive. Heavy iron stuff will always be around, look for the small stuff that's easy to store. It's the little stuff, accessories, tool kits, NOS stuff, etc that cost the most. Tom |
