So, after having had the pleasure to drive this beautiful, unmolested, all original, 37k miles 914-6 today, i can't help but wonder if we should attempt to list all the differences between an early /6 and early /4 in terms of originality.
I believe it would be of tremendous help to have a list of things "to look for" when doing a PPI on such a time-capsule. What do ya'all think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

antenna = radio? What kind if I may ask? It appears that most early 914s, /4 or /6, had a radio/antenna installed by the dealer. I can't remember seing an original early car that didn't have a Hirschman antenna, if one was installed. I'd imagine that the P+A dealer would be more likely to put a Blaupunkt or Becker radio in a /6, as opposed to the dealer installed Motorola that came in my /4. Paul |

Paul My 1970 914-6 as no radio therefor no antenna no holes for it and the dash weave thingy is one solid piece from the colume too the glove box (no seams).One hole for the lighter and a square hole for the heater controls. I heard that was rare??(IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

I heard that was rare?? I don't know how rare it is, but my /6 also apparently never had a radio. It's as you describe and the speaker boxes are empty. Skip |

Skip Speaker box`s are empty on mine as well .....and the steering wheel is not strait (as in square with the dash)its got something to do with the 911 steering column.And the real 70 six`s have a windshield washer pump.Not the spear tire air pressure supply! at least mine does and it works |

what about the washer pump Washer Pump is /6 only ... Tech TIP of the day: Don't pay stupendous prices for an original 914/6 washer pump. A 911 washer pump from the same period looks surprisingly similar to the /6 pump at a fraction of the cost ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy |

I believe the VW Rabbit also used a similar pump. I picked up a few while working as a VW parts jockey back about 1985. |
