"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...

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).

Ya, but Maury was a whack job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The price fits his profile.

Decided the whole 'bedside manner' is just a bunch of hooey, Doc?

And I thought that guy was Murray, no? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Now there's a case of the pot calling the kettle black. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Murray was ok in my book.
I spoke to him at length by phone a couple times.
I thought he got a bad rap here, all because a couple of smartasses slandered him with unjustified and inaccurate personal attacks.
His colorful way of posting helped cement the negative opinions of the larger community.
I tend to believe his side of the stories over what the others said.
Just sayin'...

He earned my respect in talking to Murray Andy.

And in my generation we were raised to give others respect and to be polite from the outset & maintained until someone does something to unearn it; and which respect should apply in person, on the phone, and online.

Now Mike/Doc - I've seen that pic of you humping some statue which was posted on here a while back - so who's the "whacko"!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
