No pics, but my '71 1.7 was very original, it had the Appearance Group package.
It had: Chrome bumpers Fog lights Vinyl trim on the sails The "turned aluminum" door sill protectors Mouse fuzz headliner Loop carpeting "Solid" vinyl seats (no waffle pattern on the inserts) No anti-sway bars Not sure what wheels it originally came with |

MY 73' 914 according to a local Porsche dealer had the following:
Built Jan. 1973,Standard equipment plus options #401 Mahle alloy wheels, #540 extra air vents(?), Metallic paint,1.7 ltr engine and 5 speed trans.. When I bought the car,she was wearing Pedrini alloys and also aluminum door sills. I don't know if the sills are original to the car or later. They were in good shape when purchased in 86'. According to Porsche I'm the second owner. Cheers,Dion I'll try to find an old pic. |

And added 7 to 8lbs to each door starting in 73.. Round 3rd/4th month of production.. or so.. Along with the new and improved window scissor lift..I really do need to weigh each type of door to REALLY find the weight diff!! I finally found the blurp IN JOHNSONS BOOK.. NO PICS....but page 35.... If you are racing/autoXing..that few month period where they had the scissor lift and no side impact rail is the 'bomb' door.. OR you could go to Europe and pick them up with no rails!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

C'mon guys & gals - there's lots more to post about this topic. Every year had different trim levels associated with basic & optional equipment. Too long dormant with this topic.
SOGOTP! Pat |

You should see the BOS, it's higher than the WS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . WS does indicate trim level no? Yes, the 72 was & is a sweet deal. "He?" was lucky like Knikki to fall in w/ the right people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

 According to my COA, in late 1975 the "Comfort" option package (a.k.a. "appearance group") for North America contained the following: - leather-covered soft foam steering wheel (M 565) - fog lights (M 566) - dual tone horn (M 572) - center console with triple instruments clock/oil temp/voltage, leather shift boot, leather-covered compartment between the seats (M 590) The sports package (M 471) consisted of these extras: - sway bars front and rear (M 404) - spoiler (M 473) - Mahle wheels (M485) Apart from those group packages the customer ordered tinted windows (M 568) and intermittent wipers (M 652). I don't have Mahles on the car, and it's not clear if it had them when it left the dealership. We had a discussion here on the Originality forum that indicated some dealers removed alloy wheels. When I bought my 914 it had Rivieras, which I don't like, now it has authentic steel wheels. |

Prices escalated rapidly from 1972 onward.

QUOTE(OU8AVW @ Nov 19 2008, 07:07 AM) I have a 71 that has leather seat inserts? They seem original, is this possible? In 1971 Porsche used a unique smooth vinyl material for the 914 (know as naugahyde in some circles) which had a pronounced grain that gave it more of a real leather look. A lot of people mistake it for leather. This material was only used in the 1971 model year 914's (4's and 6's). It was used on the door panels, backpad, center cushion, seats and to cover the floor pan cross member under the front of the seats. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I checked the VIN incase it was supposed to be a -6 (hoping) but it's not??? Wish I could afford to replace the leather. |

I'll mention that to the cow who's hide they pulled off to cover the backside of the naugahide (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It was definatly leather. I am glad to hear that the smooth vinyl was stock as that is what I am using to recover the parts that need it. |
