How many conversions have heat?, stock or otherwise Options

[dion9146]

I've always wanted to throw a poll out there, so here goes.

As some of you know, I'm in the process of selling my 3.2 conversion. It is completely unbelievable to me how many potential buyers have passed on the car because it doesn't have heat, and their idea was to drive it in the Winter.

I've owned 3 914s over the years, and admittedly none of them have had heat (4 or 6 cylinder). But then again, I always put them away for the Winter and have treated the car as a toy car for the most part. When the temps dropped, I dressed warm and that was that.

I've scoured the classifieds for other conversions that have been listed over the past year, and I know I'm not the only conversion car without heat.

maybe it's just the time of year.....maybe nobody will ask if it has heat when I relist it in the Summer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I can't find the link right now, but aircraft spruce makes heater boxes to clamp around headers to provide heat.

Doesn't look like there will be enough volume to really heat up car but it would be great if it works! You need 12" of straight pipe on the header. Don't know if our cars have that available?

That is a great idea. If it heats up the cabin of a small aircraft, it should work for our cars. It wouldn't take long to heat up
for such a small area and they are relatively inexpensive compared to the alternative.
