So, who cares. There is a Fuchs fox icon on the Fuchs rims. There are Bosch logos all over various electrical parts. There are Hella logos on the lenses. There are ATE logos on the brake calipers. I could go on. The facts are that many suppliers, including VW, provided parts for the 914. Karmann, not VW, built the 914 and many 911's and 356's before that. VW-Porsche was a joint venture between the two until 1974 when Porsche bought out the VW share. The facts of the matter, if not the point of the discussion, is that if you want to scavange parts off of VW's to use on the 914 you won't find too many. A good number of the interchageable parts are not VW exclusive parts either. 99.9% and 100% is just plain (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) |
