My "new" '74 914 2.0 seems to be, as best I can tell, fairly well preserved. However, I am now starting to wonder if my tail lights are not original since they're not solid red and have an orange wrap around part.
Did this style ever appear on US destined 914's or did the orignal owner of over 30 years, for whatever reason, put these on? They have the look that they've been with the car a very long time if they're not original. Any help appeciated. Steve Attached image(s) |

So, the safety nazis are gonna nail me 'cause I got Euro lenses and that might compromise someones' safety? What about the bimbos yakking on their cell phones while they drink their lattes as they trundle over the center line in their 3 ton SUVs? Or the Alpha males who are so important and in a damn hurry that red lights and stop signs are mere suggestions to them? Perhaps the distracted, text messaging, iPod listening, 2 year veterans of driving experience teens with their "tuned" cars present no traffic issues for the enforcement Gestapo.
But we must be vigilant to protect the driving population from European spec lighting. Forget the point that almost no one uses turn signals anymore, get after those old, funny lookin' furrin' cars. BTW, can someone pass the cheese and French bread to go with my whine? Paul |
