QUOTE(Racer @ Sep 22 2020, 08:41 AM) From one of the pics, looks like you might have orange rear tailights? US models had red tailights. Finding non cracked original ones can be hard. I like the orange look on some colors.. but since you were asking about originality (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) You should also have a removeable passenger footrest. And then as the others have mentioned 1) Front bumper is from a later car 2) Rockers should be black. 3) There is a carpeted board that sits on the spare to give you a trunk floor for carrying items. Front valance should be black (not green), like the rockers. If the bumper is chrome, the grilles should be chrome (looks like yours are black?) Dave thank you ! will you be the the teenapolooza thsi wekeend? I would love help with sourcing all of those things to get it back to stock. |

Are you coming to Teenerpalooza this weekend? If so, we will see you there. Look for the blue 1970 factory six on a trailer with Texas plates. I can show you some of the things you are missing on your car. Clay |

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showforum=44 - a whole area dedicated to originality...
and while no one mentioned, our 914's did not come with a badge on the front trunk either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Post more pics.. Interiors, trunks, toolkit etc and we (the peanut gallery) can continue to chime in. Good looking car! |

QUOTE(boxster914 @ Sep 21 2020, 10:52 AM) so excited to find 914world! here is my 3 car "collection." a couple of questions on my '70 914: is there supposed to be a board of some sort in the front trunk over the spare tire? aren't the rockers supposed to be black? my car had big rubber eraser head-type bumperettes on the front bumper. Were these an option? is the black paint covering the chrome (which would have been under the rubber bumperettes) supposed to be there? Oh and are there driving lights? I don't have a switch for one on the dash as far as i know. Were these optional? I'm trying to get it as stock as possible. Irish Green is my favorite 914 color. Beautiful collection !! |
