FYI, select the "914 info" tab upper right hand corner for that info and much more.

Someone recently posted their car for sale on samba and stated that there were only 5597 2.0L's produced in '74. I was wondering how they came up with that number.

Hit the info tab at the top right of the page. Then go to production numbers. It's all there, thanks to Andy.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) http://www.914world.com/specs/productionnumbers.php Only the 72 number is purely the 73 2.0s of 4817, while the 74 & 75 production was split between 74-75 & 75-76 production respectively. Your Samba guy just took the 74 calendar year production of 73 MY + 74 MY cars from the chart. Process of elimination for all 914s sold in 76 MY that were all produced in late 75 would give an accurate remainder for late 75 MY production in early 75 from the chart. There is a PCA generated chart I have somewhere with the sales by MY to do that (only 76 MY was 100% 2.0), but I can't get to it now - so maybe Andy or Dave has it, then subtract that from the 5469 shown in the chart. However, we can only guess that 50% or much more % that were built in 74 calendar year were the 74 MY 2.0s, because 75 MY production had already started to trail off lower than the peak production/sales 73 & 74 MYs. AFAIK Cal - there is no other reliable source for exactly how many 2.0's there were in a particular Model Year other than the 76 MY. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

Well, I never would have guessed that my 76 is rarer than my 73 2 liter
