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 |

- it should have a flat /6, 2.0L motor (doh!) - firewall center engine mount - no /4 mounts - factory oil-tank - different relay board - "hook" for the oil-line on drivers side rear long - 911 style ignition switch and column for '70/'71 models - *no* hole in the front trunk for the /4 air hose to the spare tire - black "tar" around the front upper shock towers - different windshield washer bottle - electric washer pump - real 5-lug axles - "914-6" badge - handthrottle in front of the shifter - different throttle cable routing, using a tranny mounted pivot - different paint code on the karman badge - different VIN, starting with "914" (doh! again) - no rain-tray under engine lid. - Dash top has no center vent - - what else?
