I'm in the market for another 914 and I've lost track of all the various options for the various years. Seems like there were a bunch:
Rear window defroster Tinted glass Appearance group Performance group Chrome bumpers, etc. etc. Some in combination, some a la carte. Is there a comprehensive list of options? Thanks, biz PS What does CW stand for (and why do I want to guess "concours weenie?" |

Jeff's list is, like everything he does, exceptional and informative - a "must keep" for all who wish to keep/refurbish a 914 to spec.
I'm amazed to this day how inexpensive it was to "spec" a color from the factory. As much as I love my bahia red car, I'd love to have spent the bucks for a one-off. Howver, at 4,295 for a full optioned '72 when I was making 10K a year was my absolute limit. Looking back, though, I would really have liked to have aubergine. But, the extra few hundred bucks and the wait were just too much for me. Also liked the gold color a lot (still do). |

What a great addition to have on our computer pages to ready reference on the click of a button. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) sayyy..........how about sneakin' over to the factory and doing some research now and then for us over here in the land of the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Leading me to ask this: When touring Weissach in 1991, we were told by the Porsche factory liason at the Nurburgring , that it was known to be attributed that approximately 200 - 914 's were left as registered "as on the Road". Any truth to that ? And how come there are so few.....all rusted away and unable to meet the stringent req.s to make them roadworthy ? mrgreenjeans |
