I'm looking for some information on the correct emblems that should be on my '71 /4. Currently it only have the "914" rear emblem, but should it also have the "1.7" emblem? Also, what color should it be? I know there are black and gold (mine is gold currently).
I'm not a full CW, but I hope to be one some day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) While I'm on the topic, anyone know where I can get information on what the car came with? I don't have a lot of information to go off of, so it may be difficult. But if someone has a resource for what was "standard" on a '71 I could start with that. Thanks all! |

Troy,
To begin, let me ask if your car has the appearance group (chrome bumpers, fog lights, vinyl roll bar cover, leather s/w)? As to the rear emblem, the only '71/4 that I can recall had only the 914 insignia on the back and the badge was silver(the car was Irish green). I remember the car because I competed against it in autocross back in 1976/77. Thirty years ago we were not paying much attention to originality, so I don't know if the silver metal emblem was correct for MY 1971. If you can post some pictures of your car, I'm sure the CW nazis can criticize it and pick it apart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Seriously, we'll be able to offer some helpful information as to what should be on/with your car as it was originally manufactured.
