New member here with my first 914.
I just picked up a neighbors 1974 914 2.0 that has been sitting since a left front accident in 1995. Remarkably good shape, otherwise.. It was stored in a garage from 1995-2019, covered in front of garage next to my place since then.
I bought it from the family after he passed.
I entered the VIN knowing it was near the end of 1974 production. Build date of 8/74.
Website says it is out of range for this model year.
I’ve found at least 3 different references stating ending VIN is 21370, and at least 3 state last VIN is 21379. This car is unequivocally 21378. All documents and 3 clear VINs match. Which would make this the 2nd to the last 1974 made if I go by the second source.
Any thoughts? Is this the norm for other years. No big deal, just somewhat interesting to me.
Thanks
Brian S.
