I recently lost my 914 virginity. I just took ownership of a 1975 1.8L 914. I've wanted one of these since I was a kid and they were new at the dealership!! Here's the stats:
1 owner (woman who never abused it; shifts and drives like new)
approx. 150K miles (speedo cable was broken @ 86K so it's speculation)
Optional Copper metallic
Black interior
Mahle wheels
Optional AM/FM Cassette (Dealer installed)
Original Coco mats
No rust except on the battery tray itself
It's complete down to the original window sticker, original dealer purchase order, title, manual, keys and every receipt since new. I feel so fortunate to have this jewel in my stable now. I hope we have a dry winter (yeah, right in the PNW) so I can take her out for a few rides. I picked it up on a rainy day, so here's the photos the day I got her:
Having never owned a 914, I'm sure I'll have questions in the future. I'm a lifetime VW guy and these are a close cousin, but definitely not the same.
