Is that an exhaust pipe for a gas heater ?
Love the photos ! so cool, any more ?


It's is the front of the left a-arm.



Greg...I think rgalla9146 means this pipe or tube at the red arrow...looks similar to an early 911 gas heater exhaust pipe...Thanks




Copy, I just added a photo of the front trunk interior, maybe that will give a better clue. I don’t know what it is.

Greg...THANKS so much for the continuous picture display and don't worry about the sideways view...they come right side up when you click on them and the detail is great.



Check out the one headlight lift motor on the driver side and the cross bar (yellow arrow) to lift the passenger side headlight...used later in the 928
Maybe the gas heater parts via 356 at white arrow.

This is fascinating stuff...

I'm heading out of town, so adding more pics today.

Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas. Hope you all are making plans to attend the PCA Werks Fest at Amelia Island on March 6, 2020. I'm registered to display both my 914-6 race cars. The highlighted car this year is the 914.

That lift is in the Classic Car Restoration area at PCNA in Atlanta. You are 100% correct they used four wheel dolly lifts. I actually have pictures of the car resting on the dollies. The pictures I took of the underside of the car were from the ground. The car was hidden away in a vault, I had access since my car was stored with it.

There was an article done by a guy that drove the car years ago. He stated what the mileage was, and that he drove it 19 miles. The mileage on the odometer was 19 miles more than he had stated. That validates he drove it. The car was never started or driven while it was at PCNA. I'm signing off until 2020.

Thanks to those who fix my rotated uploads.

The silver tubular thing in the back of the front trunk is a gas heater.
Probably a Webasto. No heat exchangers on the eight cyl. exhausts.
What are the two tan upright tubular things in the front trunk ?
BMW 2002 locking gas cap.

Such a tremendous 914...why cheapen it with the cheesy hood label.


Isn't that sticker what the 911R and RSR had instead of an emblem? I don't think I woudl consider that "cheapening" the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Many of the factory racecars used the sticker instead of a true emblem.
Probably started after the 904

Yes. I don’t think you can cheapen this car.

Gearshift linkage, distributor cap, 8cyl. valve cover, brake hose, e-brake sheath

Left is forward right ?
I think the pic is upside downand we're looking from in front of the pass. rear tire ?
Check the underside of the front hood. Like nothing else.
