Sweet!

When was this photo taken?

-Steve

I saw it there last year also...

Look a zee P-car hood crezht (!), and are those the 74+steel wheelz?

Just because a car is in the museum does not mean it is period correct, there are many which are not.

Those are later steel wheels. The very early low end cars had body color bumpers.

That car keeps popping up on this forum. I wish somebody would secure the VIN, chassis #, color code, and build date of that car.

I agree.

Next time I am in Wolfsburg ill see if i can get it.

O.K. guys. I dug out the book I bought from the museum when I went in 1991. The car still looked the same then. I do not have the color code or build date but I do have the VIN number.
Are you ready????


VIN # 470 290 0001

The first 914 to come of the assembly line. This should help nail down the production date also. I could dig through my old pics I took that day. I know I took one of it, but to be honest I was not into 914's at that time so I would most likely have only a side profile shot, nothing of any detail. Sorry guys.

I scanned in the pages for you to read.

The picture

Then I'd like to know the chassis # (body#) from that car. However, I have my doubts that it has one. I believe a few early cars did not get them.

I keep reading 1969 was the first year but thats the first I have seen ....how many were 1969 I wonder?

Looks much red-isher in my scan ...

So anyone here on the 914Wold have a 1969?

On the DDK site http://www.ddk-online.com there is a guy known as porker914 who has a 69

Well, first there's Sam with the '68/'69 /6 Prototype:

Then there's our Members VIN list which shows a date code of "xx/69" up until VIN 4702901654 for the 914-4 and up until VIN 9140430059 for the 914-6:

Oh yes, I remember "Sam's" Proto. Thought he had a smilie?
I was interested in the 1500 914/4. Will check the link when i get home.

Watch out for those taser's ....err guns Andy!

the guy I started out working for told me years ago he has one that is. Next time I go out to his house I'll xheck it out. I'll also get the VIN for the database....along with the 5 others I still need to enter in
