I am mystified why Porsche made the decision NOT to design the 914 body with a fuel door to make fill-ups more convenient. When the '64 model of the Type 356 debuted, they bragged about the improvement of it having a fuel door. Six years later, when the 914 debuted, no fuel door, and we have been lifting our frunks at the gas station ever since (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) A step backward in my opinion.

Just want to point out that my 6 number 41 was converted to cowl fill in the early 70s
I have never seen one like this so we left it there like some of the other items that made this car cool. Bob B |

Bob B I don’t like through the hood fillers but I love this one. Growing up with a 914 in NJ you learned to open up and close the hood yourself. Otherwise the attendant just stood at the back of the car and when they were done, would slam the hood down like an American car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) |
