I got lucky and found this in a dealership in Florida that didn't know what thay had. I have an original brochure that shows my car exactly including the "S" being separately mounted with different holes than the "2.0" insignia. I have seen copies of the S but they are fake. The "S" is attached to the "914' and that never existed. There are no signs of holes for the mounting of "2.0' , only the existng holes that hold the 'S" in place. So,I have a totally rust free Sunflower Yellow "S". The trans has been completely rebuilt (smoother than the original rebuilt in my early 65 911) and the stroker original block is going back in at about 2.3 liters and 145hp. At the end of this month, I will be driving a "real" 914S.

This one I need to have full data on with lots of photos. Assuming that it is the real thing, it has got to be rare.

QUOTE(davep @ Jun 16 2023, 10:51 PM)  This one I need to have full data on with lots of photos. Assuming that it is the real thing, it has got to be rare. Check the 4 pictues I attached to my original post. I will take more pics when I can but right now my wife is ill and she comes first. The 914 was very early production, 8/72. |
