QUOTE(tumamilhem @ Nov 19 2013, 11:51 AM)  I'm surprised the Porsche Museum doesn't buy this car. Especially OG with 6 months worth of miles on it! To my knowledge, the only 914s in the museum are the quad headlighted 914-8 300bhp and a silver 1973 1.7. On display, anyway. Interestingly enough, looking at the 916, the two that are in the States are here in FL. One was sent to Bumos from the factory and another resides here in FL. A guy I know married to a friend of mine was talking to me the other day about my two 914s and told me he had a 916 when they came out. I wonder if he acquired it from Brumos or if the other FL one changed hands to his at some point. I have a friend that has worked for Brumos for decades and is going to get me into their museum. I'm going to see if it's still there. Will also ask my mechanic Frank who was their chief Porsche mechanic and Service Manager then if he has knowledge about it. THAT would be one hell of a car to own! Especially since they didn't go into production or for sale to the general public! I would love to have a (proper) nicely done 916 conversion someday! If I am correct Porsche 914-4 #1 production car is on display at Porsche museum |

That's the 4. I was talking about the 6. And if that's a 69 (there were only a handful of them, most being prototype versions), then I'm guessing that one is VIN 914120? VIN 914114 also seems to be a prototype.

I know its the 4, I was quoting twash. If you are guessing the vin of the 1969 - 4 that I posted, it is in the write-up I posted also, stating it is the 1st one produced. I am sure there were prototypes before it though, but numerically this one would be first of the line. JIM |

Interestingly, if it came off the assembly line to go to a museum and didn't go to a dealer, it has a Porsche hood badge (and in the VW museum) and later style wheels.

No. Please ... 914120 is a /6 sportomatic prototype and in private hands. http://www.914world.com/specs/prototypes.php The red car above supposedly is the first /4 production car and it's *not* in the Porsche museum and no one has been able to confirm the VIN on it.

Andy,
Do you think VW had their facts wrong when they state that the VIN is 4702900001. Just asking because I personally saw the car (although did not have the foresight to verify the VIN). I wonder if the car is still on display. I am sure VW has redone their museum since I was there in 1990. |

I am sure VW has redone their museum since I was there in 1990. The car is still there as of last year. I just would like for someone to confirm the VIN. There are a few details on that car that don't belong there but they could have been added later in its life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
