Yes Jeff,
Generally you could've gotten any radio sold in <73-74 in a 74 MY 914, since most were dealer or aftermarket sold here in the USA, plus I think these were also a factory option (double check at Jeff Bowlsby's site's Options webpage list). That would include Porsche, Audi, VW & just about any other units (Motorola made many for the P/A/V accessories group VCP). IIRC though, you'll need the 914-specific faceplate with the notch in the top right to clear the glovebox lock (or maybe not ... test fit it). If the molded plastic faceplate to look like the dash face's vinyl basketweave (70-74) or brickweave (75-76), then they'd just use the metal closing plate with a cut piece of the vinyl adhered with interior adhesive instead. Most of the 911/912 & 914 parts suppliers sell small rolls &/or kits of the vinyl, or you can use scrap from you project or a local upholstery shop. If you can find the plastic one, they usually look & fit better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

there should be a sticker on the right side with the exact type number of the radio
this would identify the year  in this photo it's a 1977 model |

They do show up on this site and eBay with some regularity(as well as on Pelican Parts or perhaps the Samba), but working ones are commanding premium prices. Just look around and you will across them, but as was reported, many other radios (Motorola) would also be considered “period correct”.

Also depends what county you are from, they were dealer installed, in Canada you would likely have an Audiovox radio.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have a Frankfurt in excellent cosmetic condition but it won't work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif),read somewhere they are hard to repair due to their old technology,no one in my country appears keen to touch it so not really worth much. Clean/complete working ones seem to bring between 400-$500 on a good day. |
