Seriously thinking about picking up a 1970 914. It is a 69 build date. Has a 1.8 with carbs and a sideshift that had been converted.
Besides the tailshifter, what are the major essential differences between the 73-74 models? I know this is a dumb question, but are the major body parts like the hoods, bumpers, interior parts i.e door panels, backpad, and dash interchangeable with later years. What are some of the drawbacks of this early model? Appreciate the feedback, Mark |

By and large, most parts are the same or similar. Lids are the same, roof is slightly different, complete doors are interchangeable, but are internally different. Passenger seat and backpad are entirely different, and the interior finishings (carpet & vinyl) are different types. Bumpers are pretty similar, but no tits, and the rear has a slightly different design where the plate goes.
I would like to research this car a bit. VIN, date code, body #, etc. |

QUOTE(davep @ Jul 21 2007, 06:24 AM)  I would like to research this car a bit. VIN, date code, body #, etc. Thanks all for all the info...I didn't realize there were so many differences. So the interior is different, but does anyone know if an interior from say a 74 would bolt in? Also, the owner swears it's a 1.8, not a 1.7??? He says that's the way it came because of the 69 build date. Dave, I will be glad to pass on any info on the car if I end-up going back for it...I don't know that info right now. The car is practically a give-away. I'm not to sure even why I would want it...probably just a great way to unload a ton of money in repair. Would be a fun car to autocross though...never done that. Thanks, Mark |
