Just over 319,000 miles. The original owner kept great records.

Hmm. I think mine has 182300+ miles on it. I have records that show the original owner driving 17500 miles in 9 months. He really put some mileage on the car.

Now the odometer is broken, but I do know that I have put about 1200 miles a month on for the last 3 months (it was finally registered in May). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Currently 89,349. I am the second owner. Bought it in 1983 (25 years ago!) with about 39K on the odometer. I've averaged 2,000 miles per year. Since the V8 conversion, I intend to drive it much more in the near future.

Here's what it looked like a couple of years ago, before the conversion.

Thanks,

Last time I looked, Betty's 914 was somewhere near 330,000. She may see this and chime in with an exact number. It was under 100,000 when she bought the car in 1985. That is 23 years as a daily driver and AX car.

Mine has around 250,000 on it.

Mine was purchased from the estate of the original owner with 75K miles. Last license plate was 1990 in 2004... Looks like a low mileage car but everything mechanical had to be rebuilt from all of the 'shelf abuse' of sitting idle in a garage.
2K miles on driveline now. Suspension is being rebuilt for the second time right now... Actually, it is evolving to handle the extra torque of the 2270... Too much lean.

81,217... but, of course, it has been off the road since 1988, and was actually off the ground from February 2004 - March 2008. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm the third owner.

My 73 1.7 had 349,000 when I cracked the case for the first time. Every mile was put on by me. I pulled the motor out at 398,000 when the rust issues were beyond repair and and put another 50,000 on that motor in another car. Pulled it again when that car got wrecked, and still have it in storage for future use.

My 75 had 60,000 when I got it. I've put another 60,000 on it in 5 years. I logged well over half a million miles in a 914 in 35 years

The body on my car has just over 70,000 miles on it. The PO sold the original 2.0L engine and put a 1.8L in it. Damn PO, but i still love the car, just have no idea how many miles are on the engine itself just the body.

I estimate my 1973 914 has ~340K miles on it's chassis.

I have to estimate because a few years after buying the car, I pulled the speedo out and discovered "EASY AUTO WRECKERS" written on it's backside. So much for having thought I bought a "low milage" car with only 60K miles on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
PPI kids PPI ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

From what I do know about it's engine history:
1.7L/4, 125,000 miles(SWAG)
2.0L/4, 31,000 miles(SWAG)
2.4L/6, 185,000(actual)

total = 341,000miles

My 72 has 67,914 miles on it. Same as last year. Same as the year before. Same as the year before that.

Five oil & filter changes in 3 years, but no miles. Jackstand run time only, in neutral.

I really need help!
