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) |

Sho nuff Eric...lemme look back into the future...
Your chassis number is : 4329510 So it was the 10th chassis which begun production on the Tuesday of the 43rd week of 1972. From my LE website is the decoding procedure: "Chassis Plate data: Chassis Production Number and Paint Code: The chassis production number is found in two places, on the chassis plate attached to the front drivers door jamb and also stamped into the right rear trunk floor. The chassis production number is actually a code telling us the consecutive number of the particular chassis, and the date production was initiated on that particular chassis. The chassis production number decodement is: WW-D-9-5XX Where: WW = the week of a given calendar year D = the day of the week of the calendar year (Monday =1) 9 = the code for the Karmann Factory at Osnabrueck where all 914 chassis were fabricated 5XX = the consecutive chassis number, beginning with number 500 each day for 1974 Porsche 914 cars The chassis date on the 914 chassis plate, reflects the date production began on each chassis, by calendar week of the given year, and the specific day of that calendar week. The chassis dates from the 914 LE cars on the current 914 LE Registry, from the earliest to the latest known dates, indicate that the 914 Porsche LE cars began production between the 7th and 14th weeks of 1974, a mere seven week period, between mid-February and early April of 1974. There is no direct correlation between the 914 chassis date and its VIN number. Certain chassis with higher VINs, began production before other chassis with lower VINs. Chassis and drivetrain components were not always combined in the numerical order in which they were originally produced. Earlier numbered engines and transaxles were installed into later numbered chassis and vice-versa." |
