I wanted for awhile start a thread about the rare 1972 914-6.
Some know they were built at Karmann plant alongside the 4 cylinder counterpart. I hope the few, the proud 72' six owners could share details on any differences from the Porsche built 1970-71. I believe it was not offered in the USA. Some may have been brought over here by individuals. Elusive photos show some of the more obvious details such as: 4 cylinder steering column and ignition switch. front dash vents moveable pass. seat different graphic on temp gage. (like late 71) Appears no hand throttle ? What is unknown (to me anyway) : Is there any power train difference, engine and/or trans ? wiring harnesses and diagrams. wheels options. Are they all euro spec in regards to exterior lighting and badging ? Let's see them 72's please ! |

I thought that the 72 -6s were finished at Stuttgart, after the finished body shell was shipped from Karmann, as were the 70-71 -6s? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Hopefully one of the -6 aficionados will jump in & answer that & your other questions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) One of the guys on here has the definitive 914-6 website, but I've lost my bookmarks with it, & I'm blanking on his name at the moment. Also FYI, a few years back one of the latest 72 914-6's won at the PCA Parade Concours, so look for that info on the PCA website &/or an old Panorama. Cheers!

72's were for European dealers only. Not officially imported to the USA. If I remember correctly there are some remaining in France with club members there,

I recently read that all '72 914-6's were made to order.
Hope I can find the source, until then consider hearsay. Will post some pictures of my basket case, 9142...0044. Jim D. |
