Just stumbled on this video of the 1969 International Motor Show Germany
Very interesting with many cars of the period showing street and track testing. The 914 is at 28:21 The voice over is in German. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrJlyPoc3Ls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrJlyPoc3Ls |

That's cool. Funny thing I think the tire squealing sound effects was added in later.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Mar 10 2021, 09:35 AM)  Interesting to see the 914 squat down on gear shift. Mark it is interesting and also to see the nose up attitude when driving. All of us have made our 914s so stiff over the years for the track and autox use we forget how well a softer suspension travel is for absorbing the road bumps and variations. |

That was a vwporsche badged 914 with a 1.7 4 cylinder with 5 spoke fuchs wheels with the ignition on the steering column. Also at first glance the green paint looked metallic. Could you get a factory 4 cylinder 914 with 5 spoke fuchs?
