So you want to buy a "New" 1974 914 2.0 Liter, you say?
Well, this one is claimed to have 6,000 (+/-) miles, and was given to Mark D. as a prize for winning the 16th LA Grand Prix... AND, it might be for sale... Anyone know "The Rest Of The Story" on this car???   |

John, you have a sharp eye! I noticed the AM shifter knob. The Green knob on the battery is a Quick Disconnect; just an "add on" to keep the battery from draining. I didn't notice the temp gauge in the dash; are you sure thats not the standard Brake Light? I can't tell from the photo. The stuff on the passenger seat is supposedly a book of documents on the history of the car...
The colors on the original vacuum hoses still look pretty bright, so I'm guessing that the miles are truly low, or someone went to a lot of trouble to update them... I surprised that with the years of 914 knowledge here, no one knows this car, or maybe even owned it at one point??? |

Yup, it is a temp gauge (see attached blow-up) It looks like a very early 1974 (early gauges, and no chrome strips on the dash.) EDIT: The chrome strip on the dash looks to be black in that blow-up....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) The hoses in the engine compartment do not match each other. The new looking ones should be as faded as the old looking ones. Red pigment just does not seem to age well. It's a nice looking car, but I expected more of a time machine. Attached image(s)
