QUOTE(davep @ Aug 24 2007, 06:44 PM) The north american cars have the VIN on a plate in the front windshield. The 914/6 numbers are recessed into the plate while the 914/4 numbers are raised. Does this mean that the Euro versions (including GTs)did NOT have the VIN on a plate in the front windshield....if so, did the VIN on the Euro appear only on as stamped on the inner fender, and on the rectangular plate mounted in the right front of the headlight area? |

Correct, my euro 914-6 has never had a windshield VIN plate. Other VIN locations are the same as all others. |

Hi Larry Not sure re the Canada part.....I should have paid more attn when I had one that I bought new, years ago, in Canada. But to my recollection every teener I have seen up here has had a tag....and they couldn't be imported here, used, till not THAT long ago....I could be wrong... I'm sure that Speed Metal Army may have one or two parts cars that were originally sold here, will see if he can chime in/verify. Is there any chance the '80SC was a grey market car from Euro...there was a fair amount of that going on around here, for a while....? Have a great Christmas Paul |

No decals on my rather original 6....fuel tank is in remarkable shape, no sign of any work or changes to it....but don't want to say it definitively.... |

Makes no sense to remove the original but leave the link in the quoted messages. You should remove the last three messages, including this one. |

QUOTE(carr914 @ Jun 13 2008, 08:15 PM) Although it has been said that a Heated/Tinted rear window did not exist. Mine has it. T.C. mine had it as well, and it is documented in letters i have from the factory unfortunately, it got broken while in storage when the car was stripped to metal interesting to know about the weaker lid torsions - - ! so that's why the damned lid won't stay up after i added the rallye badges! |

My 1970 914-6 has a leather covered shift knob with the Porsche crest on top. I assume that this is not correct and that it should have the shift knob with the shift pattern on top. Can anybody confirm that?

You're right- leather covered w/ a crest is very aftermarket & there is no difference between any stock 914 knobs, they're all the same w/ the pattern on top. The 916 had a different knob because the pattern of the 915/916 transmission is not like the 901 transmission. |

George, My 71-6 Euro did not have the top liner. It also has a different front valence with two rectangular cutouts. It is a factory valence. There was no charcoal filter.
