Those are rare and harder to fine for sure.
Great find. I almost put one in my 914-6 conversion build. By coincidence, there's a nice one for sale on eBay right now for $285.  |

Drove one of the first 914's in the country from a dealership in MN to the one in my hometown in IA for the opening of the Porsche+Audi dealership back in '69 (or early '70). It was wintertime as there was snow on the ground!
Great job for a college kid!! It had that steering wheel and they had the VW part of the back badge covered up! They didn't have any US versions available yet! |

Pretty sure they were used on the super beetle? I do recall seeing these in that type of application

I do recall seeing these in that type of application Not sure I had a super beetle and I seem to remember this part was a different shape,however mine was Australian assembled and had many different features than the German made ones,someone told me they were a bit of a "surplus" parts car back then until they stopped product in early 1977 if I remember rightly. |
