"914S" was a USA marketing ploy 8/72 to about Jan/Feb/Mar 73 for the 914-2.0 model, and initially VW-Porsche wasn't even going to add a 1.7 or 2.0 badge to distguish between the two models! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

So it could still have been marketed as a "914S" & not been one of the first 1000-2000 2.0's sold with the A-pillar vinyl "experiment" (it was also on early 1.7s with appearance group BTW) - would depend on the VIN & build date.

It should have D-jet, Fuchs 4 liter wheels, front tits, etc. if all original.

More on the 914S here for those who haven't read up on them...

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=107851&st=

.

That said... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ....this could be Maury/me733's 73 914-2.0 ("914S") - an older member on here (age wise), which a friend is helping to sell for him, cuz I know he's been in poor health. He took good care of it, as he did his 356s before.

So maybe someone should check & see if it is his 914 first - before the sniping - and see if there is any way that we on here can help him out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

After all, that IS what has been done for others in similar circumstances here - you guys usually rally round to help out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Just a thought! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)


Ya, but Maury was a whack job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The price fits his profile.

Decided the whole 'bedside manner' is just a bunch of hooey, Doc?

And I thought that guy was Murray, no? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Yeah Murray - brain fart on my part! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Not a whack job IMHO - nice guy in fact every time I've talked or PMed with him, & a Nam Vet - so how about a little respect Doc!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

It could also be someone who bought it from him, cuz when I talked on the phone with him last year in May 2011 when we were back in GA for my son's Basic/AIT graduation, he said that he'd not been able to drive it much.

Well, I am a Vet, and whack jobs served in Nam, too. The things are not mutually exclusive and I have had plenty of interaction with him on this site to have formed an opinion, and one supported by many others.

Back on topic, I do not see $14K+ in that car. Maybe in 10yrs.

It looks like a nice car, but what I find perplexing is the owner is pushing the rarity of the mythical "S" designation, yet it has all these non-original parts on it. If it were all original it could be worth the $14K or more but the bumpers (both front & rear), the center console gauges, radio, steering wheel, carbs, Mahles, speakers in doors, etc. really take away from its value as an original survivor.

EDIT: adding Craigslist ad & pics for posterity ...

Mine is an uberonobtanium 914 RSR(Z package) Platinum edition. Most of you rookies haven't heard of it but I can assure you that it is worth BIG$$$$$. It was a one off prototype built in 2006 built off of a base model 1975 1.8. Very few made. If I had to guess.....I would say it is worth close to 55....maybe 60% of what it cost to build.

That is a pretty good ROI.

They didn't come with Webers .... they were Solex single barrels and officially were not imported to the US ........... I'm speaking of the "S" badge of course.


The only 914s with those carbs were the base model European market '74 1.8s.

Yep.

The ad says this is a rare 914-S for sale. The car does not have FI.

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/3470677982.html


I call bull (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Porsche advertised a 914 S which they never sold as a 914 S but the 2.0 instead. Besides, look at that rear badging. The S is not proportioned, it's larger than the 914 badge and too far away, doesn't even look like the same font - almost, but not quite. Looks like something fashioned and amaturishly executed to get a few more bucks.

You hit the nail on the head. The verbiage (garbage) is one thing...the primary object of the pokes, prodes and shakedown here is the BIG goofy "S" on the back. That's all I was "fun-ing" on...

Now there's a case of the pot calling the kettle black. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Murray was ok in my book.
I spoke to him at length by phone a couple times.
I thought he got a bad rap here, all because a couple of smartasses slandered him with unjustified and inaccurate personal attacks.
His colorful way of posting helped cement the negative opinions of the larger community.
I tend to believe his side of the stories over what the others said.
Just sayin'...
