Can anyone tell from the photo if this is the correct rear valance for a 914-6? I am referencing the Restorer's Guide to Authenticity, but the angles in the photos make it a little hard to tell. The text says
QUOTE The four-cylinder car had this hole (tail pipe) several inches inboard of the 914-6 opening. Given the condition of this valance, maybe we'll go for the M471 look (i.e. no valance). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Dennis, I just took this picture of our 70 914-6 with a NOS rear valence that we bought for it. It was the correct part number so I know it is a 914-6 valence. I tried to get the same angle as your car.  If you look, the right side of the porthole lines up with the tow hook hole. Here is a closeup for you.  For the cost of a real six porthole valence (and I am NOT saying how much we paid for the NOS one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif)), I would suggest getting that one fixed. It is worth it, and a good body man can make it right. Clay Clay |

Thanks Clay. The photo is very helpful. It doesn't look like the current PDF parts catalog distinguishes. I only find "rear apron" 914-503-009-10. I am aware of the bumper. Between that and the primer on the valance, I'm guessing the car either backed into something or was hit from behind. It bugs me, but I am biding my time given that decent examples cost several hundred dollars and I've got plenty else to work on. @gms Thanks for that link. Measurements always help! |
