Besides, look at that rear badging. The S is not proportioned, it's larger than the 914 badge and too far away, doesn't even look like the same font - almost, but not quite. Looks like something fashioned and amaturishly executed to get a few more bucks. |

I think it's unfortunate that the seller is trying to push the rarity of the so-called "S" designation. It seems like a nice car in its own right. What makes the "S" moniker so polarizing is that most put no credence in it, but there are a few that disagree. To me (and this is only my opinion) the only special cars from the early '73 model year are the cars with vinyl on the A-pillar. At least that's something you can point out as different from the rest, not the phony baloney "S" badge the owner apparently is trying to pass off as real. BTW, while it's not something you see everyday, adding an "S" badge has been done many times before. Here's one example, a '70 with a 2056 engine: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-12234-1328863815.jpg) |
