Andy, Andy, Andy..... you're calling BS with BS & heresay, which I won't justify with further discussion.
As for the others.....FYI -
This below is an excerpt from the March 2010 PCNA Retail Parts List (they were physically cut-n-pasted from the PCNA list), and included in my April 2010 email to the Porsche Dealer Parts Mgr. inquiring about an body-in-white as an option to repairing my own 73 914-2.0. I was directed to him by a PCNA Regional Service Manager whom came out to my place & checked out some things on my 914 with me. The discussion about the last sale of one was over the phone, so no text to convince Andy.
What I found interesting & curious was that there were so many part nos. for "body-in-white", which I presume are for the slightly different bodies from early through late 914s & /4 vs. /6, and which are now NLA in all cases, but I
really liked the one listed for $0.03!

Since they are NLA - that was why I started this "Gee I wish..." topic when I saw the Mustang body - really not expecting to be slammed by our illustrious 914 gurus
for some wistful thinking!
Cheers!
