The Few, the rare......, As delivered, no resto, no repaint - show 'em! Options

[Pat Garvey]

As the title suggests, post your 914 if it is even close to 100% original, as delivered. Post copious text and pics, so the others can use as a benchmark.

You know who you are, so just do it!

Thanks Jeff,

You know, come to think of it, I believe you're correct about the HO campaign. After I purchased the car I replaced the flexible brake lines and all the fuel lines (except the ones going thru the tunnel). It still had the original type elbows between the injectors and the fuel rails. I replaced them with the upgraded rubber elbows. I really don't have an explanation why the recall was never done to this car.

Funny that you remembered those Rusnak Logo Center Caps. I still have them but when I attempted to take a photo of them today, my Cannon digital camera totally crapped out on me. The screen is just a blur and so are the photos it takes. So for now I do not have a working camera.

My car does not have any of the Rusnak dealership maintenance labels. Based on the Maintenance Record book, Rusnak did the initial inspection but Charles had the car serviced at NEUFELD P/A in San Carlos, CA. The first receipt shows 521 miles. I have a total of 11 receipts from Newfeld P/A. The 12th receipt and all the rest are from the town in Florida where Charles lived.

Tomorrow I will identify where all the white paper stickers are located. Some of them you can still see they were stamped. I will attempt to document what the stamp shows. I always assumed that these stickers were some kind of factory inspection sticker.

Steve (& Jeff), many 914s didn't "officially" have the HO Campaign done, with some having their trusted indy mechanics or do it themselves instead. However, you can verify it & any other recall campaigns' status at any Porsche dealership - & if never done per their records, you can still contact PCNA & get a work order to have it done....

....if you want to trust some young guy used to the new Porsches who is half the age of your 914 to do it right!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

My early 73 2L had never been done, & PCNA sent out a field tech rep. on 12/2/09 to verify that neither HO (fuel/battery) nor BO (proper Fuchs 2L wheels for hub-centric fitment on 73 2L up thru Dec 72 build date) were done. Probably more for my history, unless I cannot find a particular hose or fitting. The wheels are n/a, since the PO/OO or dealer replaced the Fuchs with Rivieras.

GREAT pix - Thanx again!!!! ...& again!!! ...well, you get the idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
