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. |

73 vin and too late for the "S" tag as the early 73's are thought of as the "S" 914's. These were loaded with goodies, had early style doors with early windows winders, and other 70-72 features besides being light weight.
Generally its said the first 1000 2.0L of 73 were the "S" cars...but as Z said the Porsche/Audi Dealers of America named em the "S" and Porsche AG said "NO" hence the 2.0l emblem.. That "S" is a add on.. If this is Joe Yoder, hello, long time to see! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Still selling ASKO? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) i have an early 73 (first 1000)and have communicated with many of the "early 73" owners on this site about these cars features. what seems prevelent is they are very wel optioned, but most started life as 1.7. this is an interesting thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It also has a '74 rear bumper unless somebody drilled a couple holes and put bolts thru them to emulate mounts for titties. my 73 had " (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) titties" |
