the drivers seat bracket is different on the early 914 (both 4 and 6) up until about January 1970 from what I have seen. the adjustment handle is straight the later version has additional bends.

The car was sent to Porsche development, the earliest owner I can find said the factory installed the flares.

The clips that held the carpet over the fuel tank are still present. #11 still had the carpet when Tony bought the car.

This is a picture from the 1969 Frankfurt car show where the 914 was introduced.
there is a strong possibility that the silver 914/6 was #12

I really like that look. I wonder about the material and it's backing. It looks pretty flat. Maybe it had a backer board and not just carpet material.

That is the most bad ass 914 Cardex for any car that is not in a museum. Do we have a "drop the mic" emoticon.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)? Awesome Glenn.

Glad you have it. Have fun with it.

It is always exciting to find out new information but very disappointing how little documentation is left at the factory about the 914s. When I visited the archive in 1997 I left them more 914/6 GT information than I found there.

True, true. Lot of blanks on those forms which make restorations a challenge in many cases. But yours says PORSCHE FACTORY USE! Way cool. Seems very likely it's the one in the photos. What a journey it's had!

I feel confident that the engine 640 0012 and the transaxle 750 0014 are the originals

When I went to look at the car to buy it these speaker grills were the first thing I saw that was not typical production.

the center visor bracket is also unique, the bracket is solid and the posts are splined on the end.
