Most of the documents (bills and window sticker) show VIN 4742915046, but the CoA is for 4742915048; OOPS

Beautiful 914. Too bad the AC installation looks like such a hack job.

I am not sure how you get that corrected, but I have to guess it was just a typo when they submitted the paperwork for COA.

The 50/50 bottom cleaning seems odd. Surprised they did not finish the job.

I’ve seen this CS in person and spent time with it. I won’t be commenting further but will only encourage an interested buyer to look it over very carefully or have someone who knows these cars do that for you which is best practice for any 914.

But would the AC appear on the window sticker? After all it was only ever a dealer installation at the request of the buyer.

You are correct, there was no AC listed on the 914 window stickers that I know of. That was, as you say, only a dealer installed item or some aftermarket item. These non-factory installed items do not appear on a windows sticker.

What is going on with the rockers? Perhaps it’s tablet, but I can’t see any fasteners. Tack welds?

I hope i'm not hijacking here but I notice the VIN...a 291 had a mfg date of 7/74
I have an early 75' with a mfg date of 8/74, and of course is a 290 for 75.

Did MY 74 not have a 3rd (292) mfg sequence? Typically, 290, 291, 292.

47429xxxxx. Is the same for all 74s. The 5 numbers that follow are the # of cars built. In 74 there were a few in the 21000 range, so yes to your question but it’s not looked at in the way you describe.

there is an active thread on a 74' VIN on the front page now, so we may get some overlap...

I'm a dope and don't know shit but I've had 7 914's since 77' so I have some tribal knowledge.

I've always thought the VIN was 47 for the type and then the sequence/batch that divided the production run into three sections; 290,291,292 and then the number of the car.

4= type 4 engine
7= body type 7 = 914
x= year digit
29 constant and I forget the meaning right now
abcde is the last 5 digits that starts at 00001 and goes to the highest serial that year

there is no 290, 291, 292 series; the sequence # of the car has 5 digits

OK, that makes sense as the #'s of cars are produced 2900001, then 2910001, then when that rolled over 2920001.
