hello everyone, I'm relatively new to 914s but have been involved with Porsches for many years. I'm in the process of restoring a 914-6. Overall its a fairly original non-rusty car (it was ziebarted when new). I purchased the car from a gentleman that bought in 1972. I am trying to do the restoration as much back to stock as possible. I was hoping someone could help me out with a few items.
1) what would the original suspension have been on the car and what color were the shocks? 2) Would the car have come with a front sway bar or did the PO add that? 3) The engine is original to the car but at one point the PO tossed the air filter housing. Anyone have a line on where i can find and original air filter housing? Thanks in advance |

I suspect that if the car came with the sway bar option it would have both. Don’t think you could factory order just a front bar. If it has only a front bar that was added later and it Is not unusual to mount only a front bar as the rear generally adds more oversteer than is desirable
The plastic air box is common to 911’s and is therefore not hard to find. The 914-6 correct snorkel is specific to the 914 and is tougher to source I suggest a WTB add in the classified or contact Thoroughbred Motorsports in Corry PA. Kurt has a boatload or plastic airboxes and I think he had a couple of six snorkels too. |
