 I thought all 914s were built by Dec 1975?, German 914 with a Jan 1976 build date? |

Well, there were 37 cars built after mine so maybe it was built after Christmas! Love to see what the VIN is.

QUOTE(bowlsby @ Oct 16 2004, 06:21 AM) Hi Jeff, don't worry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) it says "EZ: 01/76" - this only means that this car was first permitted to drive (maybe Andy could translate it better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) from this date on it has nothing to do with the VIN or production date the first 914 I was really interested to buy was built in Apr.73, but first registered in Feb.74 (seems that this car was in a showroom and nobody wanted to buy it for a long time) in europe there were no '76 models offered - only in USA So long, Gustl |

Side marker lights are interesting as they were for North American cars only. Perhaps this is a car built for the US, then was not shipped. Or maybe someone in Europe placed an order after the production run had ended and this car was pulled from shipping. Or who knows......
I doubt it was manufactured in 1976 based on all the literature available. |

QUOTE(bowlsby @ Oct 16 2004, 07:21 AM) Is this for real? Gustl got it right, EZ stands for "Erstzulassung" which is the date of first registration and has nothing to do with the manufacturing date ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Andy |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Andy but, this car is located at Maastricht, which is in the Netherlands => this isn't it's "Vaterland" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) So long, Gustl |
