I have noticed that most photos of original condition teeners show a Porsche crest on the hood, but mine doesn't have it? Were they options, limited editions, additions, what?

Original /4s never had them. I think the /6s did.

as far as I know, the Porsche crest wasn't available from factory even not for the six
only a couple of prototype cars came with it

some were dealer installed, others by owners

What are you talking about? Those rivs are classic! They are so rare now days... its tough to find them. If I think you're worthy, I'll sell ya a set of rivs. You might need to take a toothbrush to them because they've been collecting dust! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Rivs are even too uglee to be boat anchors.....

As to radios and antennas....there is always an exception...but if you see a 914 for sale with an "original radio"...it's more than likely bullshit....

The 2nd Porsche 914-8 was the only 914 type to ever carry a front badge out of the factory.

Badge is probably worth about a million bucks ... and it comes with a neat car attached !!!

I would love to see a Certificate of Authenticity for a 914-4 showing a radio as an option. I've never seen it but it's possible one will show up some day. That would be cool.

Jamie, the badge comes from the 911. Resist the temptation and keep your hood original.

If you look at page 33 of Brian Long's book you will see a 914-4 prototype with a hood badge. Also there a couple photos on page 34 showing a badge on a 914-6.

Apparently the factory put the badge on some prototypes, but no production cars.

If you like to look, go for it. It is your car, and you should enjoy it.

Both were made by Concour Weenie Don...the original Don of Don and Glenn's Barbeque fame.....rather sell the first one.

I paid $175 for that and $250 for the warped one....
