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 |

This may have been covered somewhere already. If so, sorry.
I am hunting for carpet for my 1970 6 (710). Have wanted to get as close to OEM as possible. One possibility (I thought) would have been OEM. For example, AA has a drivers OEM carpet, advertised as 914 914-6 factory new nos drivers carpet. Knew I couldn't afford OEM (if you have to ask, you can't afford it), but thought I'd at least ask AA what they had that was their next best thing. Their response. The 1970 914-6 is unique re interior carpet. It came with PERLON felt, like the front and rear trunks. The LOOP carpet (as per their item advertised) was for 914s 1970-74, and 914-6s, 71 and 72. Is there anybody out there with OEM carpet for a 1970 914-6.....I'm sure that AA is on, re facts, but very peculiar.... Is perlon less, or more, durable than loop (although I'll have to go with what is closest to factory....) I would have thought the first year 6 would get a product superior to the 4s...(sorry, 914 owners...just a reflection of sticker price on the car) Thanks |
