Will get a start on the interior.

Overall the interior is in excellent condition. A scratch in the seat bottom of the driver's seat from the E-brake handle . Some of the basket weave on the dash face was pulling up a bit but I used some rubber cement to tack that back down. The sun visors are starting to show the usual sag but not bad.

The floor panels are in great shape…a bit of rust by the accelerator but I'm just leaving that as is.

Thanks, guys. I'll try to add more areas of the car over time. Hopefully some of this might be helpful to those doing restorations or questioning original aspect of these cars. Always happy to provide pics of specific areas if requested.

Pat, I really admire the fact that you are the original owner of your car. To me that is really impressive!

Took a few engine compartment pics today and thought I would share those.

Insulation pad is in really nice shape.

Battery cover installed as part of the recall. Also note the orange strap bolted to the ECU box. I'm told these are long gone in many cars. Hell hole is very clean. Engine compartment paint is original

What a great find! Obviously never driven in the Minnesota winters!! And he must have stored it with the battery out.
Keep it original for sure!!! Only original once...

Looks like it was a clone to my '73, but can't say my '73 is anywhere near original anymore!

Terrific documentation of a beautiful 914.

Noticed the black plastic threshold plates, interior door latch bezels and side window winders...those are 1974 model year features. Factory must have used 1974 model year items because this is a late VIN 1973 car, do not recall seeing another 1973 with these features.

Thanks. I'm enjoying the car but can only take credit for some clean-up and commitment to future caretaking.
