Just out of curiosity: anybody any idea how many there are still out there, running?
Estimation?

I can't answer your question, but check out the thread linked below ...

I keep track of 914/6 advertisements and I currently have information on over 1650 of the approximately 3360 914/6s that were built. There are very few cars in my database that are listed as being destroyed. Every year I find information on somewhere between 50 and 150 new VIN numbers. My best guess right now is that there are over 2000 914/6s surviving around the world. It might be as high as 2500.

I would expect the percentage of 914/4s surviving to be quite a bit less.

Hi Larry, do you know how many 914/6 came to the USA?

Jeff, as I remember it was 1788 to USA officially. . That number is from the book, Excellence was Expected.

Interesting. So only about 56% of the /6s came to the US.

Information from the USA recall campaign indicates that 83,000 914/4s made it to the US, or about 72%.

It would be interesting to know how many /4s are still registered for road use. My guess is that the mortality rate for the 4 cylinder cars is much higher than for the 6 cylinder cars. I'm not sure how you could find that out but I'm sure there is a way if you know the right person or have access to the right system.

Just in SoCal local saturday morning meet last Sept. 2016. More than 20 914s.

Here is an interesting thread from a few years ago.

Nice to see that many 914's in one place. Even at the big C&C in Scottsdale every month there may be 3-4 914's in total. Must admit I don't take mine every time though.
Smaller C&C at Penske Musuem every month only 1-2 914's...
