Well you all read the title! I know this has been debated numerous times, but I think another round of debate ending in disagreement would be fun!
I'll start: My dad had two 914's when I was a kid and both came with Porsche Crests installed. I never knew any different until I started seriously looking at buying one. Now I own a car with no crest, and it bothers me. And to frustrate the situation further, George's recent video on the mean green 914 was the first time I ever heard anyone disparage the idea of having a crest on a 914. Maybe in Europe where they were sold as VW-Porsche I could understand, but in the states, they have ALWAYS been a Porsche! I say it's time for 914 World to unite and crest every 914 alive today!! We need to create a template to standardize placement and get after it!! If you see a 914 at the grocery store, make sure you have a drill handy and get over there and FIX THAT CAR! I'm sure the cops will understand why you're drilling on a stranger's hood when you explain the injustice and prejudice that has gone on for so many decades! You're turn!

My '75 had a badge on it when I got it. Once I started the restoration, I filled in the holes and removed it.
It also had A/C in it and I removed that as well. (you'd be amazed and how much structural integrity was gained when I welded in the replacement piece from RD) I'm not nuts on the subject but, I did want my car to be factory correct, if not dealership correct. My '74 does not have one. |
