There were a bare handful of (200?) 1972 914-6es. They had VINs starting with "914229".
For all 914s (except possibly the prototypes) the chassis was put together at Karmann in Osnabrück. The four-cylinder cars were finished there, while the Sixes were shipped off to Stuttgart to be finished. It is unlikely that the six-cylinder engine mount was welded into a chassis in Stuttgart, and then the chassis was shipped back to Osnabrück--but it is possible... It is also possible that someone did a really clean install of an upside-down-U-shaped piece of metal in a regular 1972 914. --DD |
