Just happened by this thread so thought I'd set it straight. I have an identical emblem which I purchased several years ago. Even the nylon mounting nuts and washers and the instruction sheet pictured on the Ebay auction are identical.
This emblem was made by William Bowen who lives in Ventura, CA. I first saw his emblems at one of the Porsche gatherings years ago at the Ventura Fair Grounds. Unlike most of his other emblems, mine and the one pictured above, is not metal but black epoxy. The detail is on a level with factory parts. I sold that car, but now have a small-block conversion nearing completion. I emailed Mr. Bowen to see if he can supply the metal or plastic 914-8 emblems, but he could not give me a definite answer since he seems to be semi-retired and most of his work involves making prototypes for various customers.

Is that an S or a 5? Could be the rare 5 cylinder 914

QUOTE(Steve @ Jan 7 2020, 06:36 AM)  Is that an S or a 5? Could be the rare 5 cylinder 914 Before I put the V6 into my car I was seriously looking at the VW 2.5 inline 5 cylinder and I was going to do the 914-5 badge to throw people off. I still think the 2.5 motor would be a cool swap, just need to figure what to do for fuel and ignition. |

QUOTE(bdstone914 @ Nov 11 2018, 10:06 AM) QUOTE(914Sixer @ Nov 11 2018, 07:47 AM) I was trying to make the point of some of the prices of items on Ebay. Numerous examples of just because it says Porsche you SHOULD pay stupid prices. Aside from the price that part has some interesting detail like the pebbling on the short connecting pieces just like the factory original ones. We all no there really was no 914 S , right? Just a u.s. marketing trick that Porsche did no approve. It's a fake. I have an original "S" and it is separate from the "914" I also have a very early 1973 Porsche 914 brochure that shows the "914 S" my "S" has a manufacture date of August 1972. |

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Nov 11 2018, 09:16 PM) I guess I would have a "914-S" as mine has a 2.7S engine. Cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Nov 11 2018, 09:24 AM) HPH has this badge for sale on Ebay for the LOW Price of $199.99. It states that they do not know who manufactured it. SO, if your have a little money you want to burn. This is not how the original looked. I have one and the 914 and the S are totally separated which is exactly how the 1973 914 Porsche brochure shows them. |
