Wow. Great pics! Thanks!
I must have scrolled up and down these posts for a half hour! 
Awesome pictures!
What is the history on the silver car?
The red one has been well documented but I don't recall much about the silver 914/8

Amazing! Thank you for the views that I will probably never see in person! It is like an inside look to a forbidden land!
I feel relieved to know even an exotic museum piece leaks while sitting still!

Pretty much! It must have been a pretty funny site. I think Ferry's was still there as a result of the 914 exhibit they had through May 10. The Silver one was at the top of the museum all by it's lonesome. Most people were just walking by, while I was trying to shot through the windows for dash detail and holding my camera under the car. I guess it looked pretty plain if you did not see or know the history.
The Museum is fantastic. I got lucky and had a few hours to burn on a work trip. My jaw hit the ground when I saw Ferry's car there. It was neat to see the details on the closed top car.
Congrats on COTM! Your 914 would have fit right in at the Museum.
Thanks for the pics. 
What were the controls for that were mounted on the center tray on Tangerine car?

They gave the silver car to Ferry as a birthday present?
What cheap bastards. It doesn't have a radio. (maybe there was an 8 track hanging under the dash.)

I want one of those fuel filler doors. Anybody know the part #?
I wonder if the filling of the gap at the base of the windshield post is indication of stiffening done due to the fixed roof?
Wes
No radio....

I pulled this off of Google:
Kontrolle fuer feuerloescher - Control of fire
kraftst - Virtue?
strom kreis - Circular flow pump? Fuel pump?
My german is horrible and I think the translators missed the context.

That is cool! Those are likely abreviated so they would not translate correctly.
Thanks. Great picts.

The music is behind you.
Thats for the front oil cooler..
The Silver car was a present for Porsche to Ferry made special for him....he loved the car with its flat 8.
The Red car was a "test car" so what do you need a radio for on the track....although it was driven around on the streets some by Piech.

That was my guess. Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks for butchering my language!
Here's the correct translation:
Kontrolle fuer Feuerloescher = "Control for fire suppressing system"
Kraftst. Pumpe = Kraftstoff Pumpe = "Fuel Pump"
Strom Kreis = "Electrical System"
My best guess on the "Electrical System" would be a battery cutoff of sorts.

I also condsider it music when I hear screams from the passenger seat!!!
I wonder why no one else on 914world hasn't done the wood dash?
I also noticed that not one "go fast" sticker......or silly badges!

Kontrolle fuer Feuerloescher => control for fire extinguisher ... this car has a 2 way fire extinguisher (see the yellow arrows at the photo)

Kraftst. Pumpe = Kraftstoffpumpe = fuel pump
Stromkreis = electrical circuit

oooops ... Andy was faster
It seems like it would be real easy to hit those toggle switches and set off the fire extinguishers.

Well I guess this post should put an end to all those out there that keep saying a Porsche hood crest is not appropriate for a 914...

Radio has since been relocated to custom matching console and a dual gauge pod will fill cutout.

Your thread made me think about going! I tried to find some one, but it was crowded and the other three people I was with humoured me for a few hours. I got a "last call" from them on my third trip top the silver /8!
We saw a few Panameras running around with mfg plates. My camera poked through the sunroof, and then the drivers would take off! They look pretty good in person.
