TMI.... Group: Members Posts: 8,320 Joined: 19-March 09 From: Orange, CA Member No.: 10,181 Region Association: Southern California	"914S" was a USA marketing ploy 8/72 to about Jan/Feb/Mar 73 for the 914-2.0 model, and initially VW-Porsche wasn't even going to add a 1.7 or 2.0 badge to distguish between the two models! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) So it could still have been marketed as a "914S" & not been one of the first 1000-2000 2.0's sold with the A-pillar vinyl "experiment" (it was also on early 1.7s with appearance group BTW) - would depend on the VIN & build date. It should have D-jet, Fuchs 4 liter wheels, front tits, etc. if all original. More on the 914S here for those who haven't read up on them... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=107851&st= . That said... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ....this could be Maury/me733's 73 914-2.0 ("914S") - an older member on here (age wise), which a friend is helping to sell for him, cuz I know he's been in poor health. He took good care of it, as he did his 356s before. So maybe someone should check & see if it is his 914 first - before the sniping - and see if there is any way that we on here can help him out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) After all, that IS what has been done for others in similar circumstances here - you guys usually rally round to help out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Just a thought! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) PS - I'll try to call Maury or the ad guy tomorrow or this weekend to see if it is his & if we can help out in any way (I know his was yellow with a 914 S badge).
