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 |

I've got a '69 model year also, so Davep if you want the information from mine i would be glad to shoot it your way... i think its production number 310 or close to it...
And it has everything that everyone else stated, fixed passenger seat, no rear trunk springs just a rear hood prop, wiper switch, window cranks, and all that jazz... |

A general shot or two, plus some closeup shots of how it is mounted, and how it hooks in. This must be pretty rare. |
