I jus bought a fairly decent tub,and I think it's a 74 due to the production date of 12/74........But the vin is 4752906666. Is it really a 75?
What are some differences between a 74 & 75? How do I determin if it is a 1.8 or 2.0 car ? |

Congratulations, you own a '75 based on the VIN. Most cars have a production date in the prior year because a) the '75s came out in 1974, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) it probably made it to the US and sold sometime in '75.
The major differences between the '74 and '75 are the front and rear bumpers, potential interior changes, and potential smog equipment. You should be able to tell the engine size by the engine serial number or by the type of airbox and vacuum conntections. The 2.0 is a GA case in most circumstances. |

Without the motor or tranny you can't really tell. You could go get the original production list for the car but for $100 its probably not worth the effort. To put on your early bumpers, you'll neet to take out or cut the funky bumper springs, and cut the bent lip on the front chassis.

Yep, the bracket needs to go. The lip is on the top front of the chassis. It runs all the way across the chassis. If you take your 70-74 bumper and try and fit it to the car, the lip you need to cut off will become apparent.

The 75 should have a rear badge plate to tell you what kind of car it was. It should say 914 2.0 or 914 1.8.
or if that is removed above the relay board should be a emission sticker that says:Displacement 120ci or whatever. Geoff |

QUOTE LOL.........No, when i'm done it will be a 72 914, because I have no title for the 75' ...plus you'll get to skip DEQ (if your part of Canby is in the "wrong" area). But don't get caught with the wrong VIN! Highly unrecommended Buy a title to be safe. You may have some trouble with the passenger seat unless the one in your '72 is movable. What color is your "new" '72? If the car still has the wiring, check to see if you have seatbelt interlock crap (under the passenger seat). That'll tell you how early the car really is. Didn't 50-state 2.0's all have a cat, or was that just CA cars? I know the '75 1.8's had no emissions crap -- at least mine didn't, and DEQ never complained (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Having a '74 is much nicer, though, no smog check required!

Scotty the DEQ cut off is right across the street from my house so i'm safe (no DEQ for me) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
How do I purchase a title, or is that the same as filing for a lost title? Yes both seats in my 72' are moveable,and my new teener is black but needs major body work (lots o' bondo) YUCK.......It does have that seat belt interlock crap can I scrap that ,or do i need to keep it.... |

QUOTE Scotty the DEQ cut off is right across the street from my house so i'm safe (no DEQ for me) Lucky.... Well, depending on the body, you have two types of title you can get: a slavage title -or- a reconstructed title You probably want the salvage title. I imagine they charge you the same fee as that for a new car (whatever that is) plus a fee for new plates. Lucky on the seats (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Just cross the fat yellow wires and you can ignore all the other crap. Sell the seat cushions on ebay as "rare heated 914 seat cushions" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It sounds like you've got a heck of a project to work on, have fun!
