Here are some pics of Vin# 4072 the 4th to the last 914 built. So we now know who has the 4th 914/6 built (Brad) and Kent Carlson who has this one.
Note the wrong turn signal lenses and lack of rollbar vinyl. Now to find the last one made! Geoff Attached image(s) |

Jeff,
My date code is 12/75 and I know for a fact that they sold them into the fall of 76. Why? I test drove a 76 914 at the Seattle Porsche Dealer in the fall of 76, an orange one too. Had the ugly pinstriping that my car has too! I have always wondered if this was the same car that I have now because of that. Nahh, couldn't be. I have seen several early 76 cars that didn't have the sail vinyl or in fact were pretty basic cars probably to keep the sales price down as they were going for $7500. I have heard that once people realized that 914's were going out of production that they were pretty hot sellers. Dealers were screaming for cars with all the options on them so they could jack the price up for more profit. A Manhatten Dealer even had a auction for one of their last 914's which sold for a much higher price than the Dealer list. (this is from my friend who worked for Porsche/Audi at the time.) I have not seen or talked to anyone else who has a 914 vin in the 4000's so I don't know any other details other than what you might also have read other than what my friend has told me. Geoff |
