After reading Larmo63s thread about his newly purchased 73 2.0 I got curious about my built date. I know they post member birthdays but I am more interested on when your 914 was born. Beware I was off by a week until I downloaded a 1975 calendar.


Coondog: March 2nd 1975 20th 914 off the line

01/71

8/13/1973, a Monday.

Sooooooo, how do I find day built?

Found mine drivers side door next to hinges. Also stamped in rear trunk right hand lower side.

January 14, 1971 Thursday, 38th of the day build. That's very cool to know.
I'll be taking the teener that day to Jerome, nice winding road. Lots of hair pin turns, for my teeners b day.

0239588, January 7(?), 1970...46 years old in a few days, I've had this one since Jan 26, 1976.

August 31, 1972 per Chassis No. (don't recall # of that day, brain fart!)

August 1972 VIN

One Day - Fastest 914 Build on Record AFAIK!
(I know, I know - they're not sequential, but it's all fun anyway!)

In reality this would be the date the body was put together.

There would be a lapse between that date and when the completed car rolled out.
Following thread gives some insight:

Memories from when I was entertaining the HAPPY thought the build date was exactly as my birth date

My 74 was built August of 73

4219619

They were busy during that time October 1973.

Just went out to the garage to take a look Wednesday, May 23 1973.

Cool - mine too!
