Would anyone happen to know what the breakpoint in VIN #s is for "early" 1974 versus "late" 1974 914s?

I have owned both 'early and late' '74 2.0Ls.
Do not know of a definitive list of changes, nor the VIN inflection point which seems to be a progressive set of dates depending on the change, not a single date. The factory parts manual may indicate changes to spcific parts associated with a VIN. Some differences: -silver center gauges changed to black center gauges -charcoal canister relocated from fuel tank to engine bay rear wall -carpeting changed from solid colors to 'salt and pepper' patterns -a brief period of a few weeks in Spring of 74 when grey headlight relay covers were installed -fuel expansion chamber and fuel tank cap changed from metal to plastic Interestingly, the Can Am cars produced in the Spring of 74 include a range of these changes. Thats all I can think of right now. |
