I have just acquired a 73, sold as a "parts car". When I picked it up , I found the ID on the rear to read 914 S. I found a copy of a 1972 advertisement featuring the new 914S. Is this car significant, or even rare?
Here is a picture--Vin 4732906151, Original color, Olympic Blue L51P. |

Somebody added the 'S' at a later date, possibly from a 911. If it was factory, it would have been closer to the 914. The thickness of the material also looks a little different from the S to 914.

Somebody added the 'S' at a later date, possibly from a 911. I don't know /4 VINs well enough to know if you can tell what was a 1,7 from what was a 2,0 by the VIN. My recollection (also fuzzy...) was that the early 914 2,0's all had the '2,0' badge. So my guess is that the car in question is a 1,7 |
