@SirAndy
HO error for 75 is a typo by mr. b when he entered data in his table. original porsche audi documentation attached as links by mr. b is correct.  |

QUOTE(Bse30 @ Mar 11 2023, 04:42 PM)  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. nothing odd about 08/74 completion date. commenced construction in july (see production number on plate in door). Vin stickers did not go on until the end of the line tick off. this car may not have been 100% finished before summer holiday shutdown. if so would have been completed when production resumed later in august. alternatively might have been delayed for a defect correction. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Does anyone know whether 1=Sunday or 1=Monday for day of the week? It's critically important... I need to know what day to celebrate my car's 50th birthday this September! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (Karman tag 3939513) = week of September 23, 1973 |
