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. Attached Image Attached ImageAttached ImageAttached Image

here is another one of those tantelizing documents feeding into the myth of the 914S.

not saying there ever was one officially with a badge on it.
but was going over some of the californian air resources board certification documents i have on file from L jet and noticed this.

think what it means is that when Volkswagen of North America lodged the documentation for the 2.0 in 1972 for the 73MY they were initially referring to it as the 914 S.
