Fits under the steering column?

I don't know. Few people know that you could literally call the factory and they would do anything for a very reasonable fee, and have you new car waiting two months later at the dealership of your choice. I don't know that it still works that way. There should be some literature someplace on factory customization.

i'd say rare indeed would be the factory 914/4 race car with AC...

"It was available on just a few models with AC..."

so - it's not (IMO) a "rare factory racing part."

is it a factory part? i donno. I've never seen one before, but I don't claim to have seen everything. I'd guess it's just a nice custom part...

i know if i were trying to move a rare factory part, i'd photograph and post the factory part number...

It is suppose to go where the raido was. Did the factory have a raido deleat option?

looks like newer VDO gauges that would not have been available 70-76

mis-representation in my opinion

"Delete option"? They ALL came with that one. Radios were dealer or owner installed in 914s. In fact, all 914s came with the A/C delete option as well! The consoles were cut down by the dealer or aftermarket installers .......... The auction info is BS, IMO. The Cap'n

I have to agree the seller doe's have an extremely nice layout for viewing the parts. Most appear to be refurbished used parts?? I could be wrong.
He may have been told by Bob and Jim told Ed so that is how they got to be a Rare Factory GT Option??
Probably came out of an AC car that did not have a center console, so lets stick these in here.

if you look at their other ads, they tend to throw around other phrases and words that I guess they think they need to sell their parts... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

Regardless of the "rare factory" bs, it does look like a quality unit with good VDO gauges. At least $80 to buy the gauges, maybe more.

The backing plate looks to be galvanized. We ALL know nothing on a 914 was ever galvanized. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/monkeydance.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif)

I have seen these on ebay before. As a matter of fact they ran a set just a few months ago. But as the history goes, They were done by Dealers when A/C units were installed. Nice looking and very conveniant. I plan on doing the same to my 914. Sombody here on the club sells dash setups to do the same thing. The Ebay guys you are referencing just have a slick ad and a new twist to the "914 Story". MSG L

Hi Guys,

I stopped at Eurotec Motors in Ann Arbor MI today and bought the Triple Gauge Center Console piece. I liked it and thought it would be a nice conversation piece.

Anyway, it's now in my garage. I now own this super rare 914 accessory. I wonder if it's really a Porsche made piece??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

For sale:

My extremely rare quadruple gauge, Factory 916 race car VDO gauge package. Extremely rare option was only equipped on 1972 914 models painted green.... with a funky color-clashing brown interior.

You must have this part! You cannot live without it! Buy it now for the low low price of $1275.00

No rust, for sure not real. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

And like the Capt'n said: Radios and AC were dealer add ons. Nice looking piece. If someone wanted to make and sell them, I would buy. I got no reason to have a radio in my autocross/de car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
