Bondo- I don't have one, but was told the engine lid thing is to prevent it from impacting the trunk lid if both were open,

nope, it let's you open the engine lid without having to use both arms, one to pull the lever and one to prevent the lid from hitting the top of the targa bar.

that rubber thing makes the lid pop up just about 1" or so, and you can then safely open it completely by hand ...

I don't see how this thing can do either of these functions mentioned.. maybe there's something missing?

uh, oh, two? i need to lay off the booze ...

i only see one function in my post. the rubber lip rubs against the trunk lid and prevents the engine lid from popping all the way open. acts like a stop. the engine lid only opens about 1" or so, enough so you can pick it up by hand and open it all the way.

not everybody is agile enough to put their right hand on the engine lid and pull the lever with their left hand, thus preventing the lid (without the rubber stop) from hitting the chrome trim ...

that's what i always do, but i don't have the rubber stop no more and i'm still young and flexible ...

Hey Bowlsby,

Here's one on my back window. I got it from Porsche. I think it was issued for 1974's only. Was it on the LE's???

Tom
BTW
I just got my new Nikon D-50 camera & this was an opportunity to use it.

By either function I meant the one you mentioned and the one SGB mentioned. The trunk lid pops all the way open when I pull the handle, and the lids don't come close enough when both are open for the rubber thingie to be helpful.

One thing it sometimes does is catch on the trunk lid when I'm closing the engine lid. That's not a good thing though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Great labels Batman!

Andy - Never saw that red label before. Its on a 70-4 cylinder car. Do you know anything more about it?

Tom - Very cool 25 year anniversary sticker. Never have seen another one like it. The LEs didnt have it as far as I know. Maybe the dealers mounted them on some cars?

Lou - That handwritten number looks like the chassis number. Does it match your chassis number on the driver door jamb plate?

Jeff H. - Very nice. This is the second 76 car I have seen with that label. Looks like it may be a 76-only item and there should be a different one for each color.

Keep 'em coming...! Thank You all who have posted new labels. I will update the webpage with the new labels I have received so far. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

My Plate, Label and Markings webpage on the 914 collectibles website (see link in my signature) is updated with about 2 dozen new photos of labels members have sent me, as well as several decoders for the VIN, engine codes, transaxle codes and chassis number codes...

Send me more photos of your labels or post them here if you have them!

Thanks everyone for your contributions... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Jeff,
Yes the numbers under my dash match the chassis numbers.

I don't know if you need this or not, but here is a sticker I found inside the factory fog light housing.

I think that red label is one of those Daimo label maker things that a PO stuck on there. I will have to get the digital camera out, I would be surprised if all that stuff has survived though.

I have intentionally kept my PLM webpage focused only on the USA 914/4 production cars, because thats my main interest. The other 914s either have their own focused pages or deserve them. I really hope someone will make a comprehensive website about the 914/6 and prototypes, as Glenn Stazak and Armando have done with the 914/GT cars. But I have a habit of right clicking on any cool 914 info and stashing photos and info for the other cars, and when its appropriate I may include them too.
