With car lots chock full of new cars these days, seems like it's easier to pick a car off the lot or have the new car dealer swap with another dealer.
How was most ordering done "back in the day?" Paul |

I went in to the Porsche dealer in Lubbock, Tx looking for a 73 2.0 Apperance group. The did not have the 914 in the color I wanted. They did however have a 911T Targa in yellow. I went home with the 911. An astounding $9,995 then.

I am not the original owner, but I have the story from records that came with the car:
Ordered June 16, 1972 for tourist delivery through German Services "Authorized Automobile Tourist Order Agent" in San Francisco, CA. Car is described as a '73 914 S in Irish Green. Of course, that color became Zambezi and the model designation 914 2.0. The total was $5231.99. Options were AM Radio Wolfsburg $81 and Undercoating $14. |
