1971 914/4 1.7L 61,000+/- original miles, still original Bahia Red paint & Black Leatherette interior, 1 owner - mostly original & unmolested (except as noted below).
(Disclaimer: I'm not the owner, but have know the owner Jerry since 1976, and know the level of care he's given his 914, and know that the low mileage is correct in the pix taken at our PCA OCR "Porsches & Doughnuts" gather in Orange CA in EDIT 3/28/12 March 2011 April 2010 - it's been so long I slipped a year!.)Purchased new in SoCal by a buddy of mine from the dealer 95% as you see it here, with the following options added by the dealer for a prior buyer who backed out, then Jerry bought it as equipped by the dealer for that buyer; as well as the minor changes & replacements made by Jerry during his ownership.
Factory Options (AFAIK - will update when I verify & know more):*
Appearance Group Options (or most/all of those options), including:
- Chrome Bumpers & Chrome Foglight Grills
- Driving Lights (Foglights)
- Dual Tone Horns
- Vinyl Covered with Chrome/SS Trim at Rollbar/Sails
- Center Storage Tray with Cushion/Armrest Cover
- Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel
- [Loop] Pile (Velour) Carpet
IIRC this was a one MY only offering of the "Textured Vinyl Leatherette" material for the seat inserts & interior door panels (see posts 165 & 166 after this).
> Not technically an option, but a "selection of interior materials."Extra Center Dash-top Air Vent (optional on 914/4s & standard on 914-6s)
Possibly the M440 "Radio Ready" Speaker & Manual Antenna option (or dealer installed)
IIRC Tinted Windows All Around Option (sides & windshield only)
California Emissions ($15 fee & test req'd. on all cars sold new in CA)
Optional Wheels & Tires may have been Factory OE before the ones as delivered
I'm not sure on Performance Group Options?? but if so, would include:- Front & Rear [Anti-] Sway Bars
- 5.5x15 Lightweight Alloy Wheels (Pedrini) with 165SR15 tires
* AFAIK there is no COA since he bought it new, but I'm pretty sure that he still has the window sticker & original sales docs. - if so then the COA is elementary.Dealer Installed Items when New:
