Adding yet another collectible piece of magazine advertising, to the collection..
I usually scan them for anomalies.....
After 12 years of building this library..I can't believe I missed this one..
Not One 914 has an antenna on it...
I have seen color variations on the same ad same years but different mag..
Thatz norm..
Sometimes color other times B/W....
The early ones used Euro models Not USA spec...
I have seen them use 72 interiors for 73 year.....
And the list goes on n on..
Any one else have my 'GeeK Disease' and found anything themselves..
PLEASE do Not go into B Johnsons book..
That is an entire thread in itself.....
But feel free to throw down..
Dealer info Brochures etc, things you have found...
This flies under the History Part here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ?????

I was told by someone about 20 years ago, all the 914's without a specific Radio option ordered, were made with radio delete , and the ones coming here to America gave the dealer the option to plug in anything he wanted. Thus the reason why there are no two places on a 914 fender that are drilled the same. And, why if you take off some of the masts, there is a HOLE that looks like Goober used an Ice Auger on it instead of a hole saw. Some are on the left, some on the right, some close, some far down the fender....some in the cowl area in front of the glass.
My friends, low mile ORIGINAL in almost every way 74-2.0 had it drilled thru the back trunk deck lid.....RIGHT smack in the middle of the freakin' thing..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

He cured that without the expensive replacement , and/or reweld and repaint option, by going the route of adding an Aero look black mast off a later model Golf. Looks fast standing still, but NOT very CW.
