First time I've seen one. I worked at the dealer when these were new and I wasn't aware a 1.7 could even be ordered with sways. There isn't another factory option on the car, only the original dealer installed Sapphire radio. This is a "barn find" that the owner wants me to sell. It hasn't been driven in 20 years.
Any other 73 1.7's with factory installed bars out there? Brad Attached image(s)

1.7 could be ordered with any option that was available at the time. Sounds like the dealer had a oops when ordering the car with only one option. Back in the 70's when I sold cars you could check any block and it was added to the build sheet. No one to stop you from ordering what you wanted. Now days try ordering a vehicle, the computer has so many roadblocks and rules to confuse you.

Looks like a clean car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
A good wash and it should sell quickly. |

I thought the option was "Stabilizer Bars, Front and Rear" as indicated on the option sheet above. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

One of the joys of 914 ownership--even after working on 914s for their entire existence, you can still find out new things about them! (Brad has been working on these cars since they were new.)

I am pretty sure the $47 was for the power antenna not the standard one.
