Real 914S, Proof of the "S" existence Options

[Vietnam6871]

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.

on my way out of the rabbit hole.

73 survivor 1.7
a member here cleaned it up and sold it on BAT.
new owner a member here now.
very very early car.
probably from day 2 of 73 production.

has a curious detail.
mismatched finish on badge at rear.
wouldn't want to read too much into it.
but you could think it was just someone replacing a badge along the way.
however was a very original intact car in most respects.
a possibility might have been no 1.7 badge on very early cars either?
and later dealer has installed 1.7 or installed after production line before sale.
