Hi, I just bought a 1970 914 and want to see if it will fit on my trailer. Would someone be so kind and measure their cars total length?
Thanks Spencer |

13’ 1” Later years were longer due to bumper sizes. |

Open or enclosed trailer?
With an open trailer, I would think wheelbase and weight distribution relative to trailer axle (tongue weight) would be the critical issues. |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I have a single axle 12' trailer with the axle set further to the rear for VW aircooled. The rear of the 914 overhangs the rear of the trailer.
Likely the bigger issue you may run into is the trailer bed wide enough? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-26-1222545375_thumb.jpg) |

Was curious if anyone knows the overall length by year:
1970-1972: Steel bumpers 1973: with front bumperettes 1974: with front & rear bumperettes 1975-1976: BUBs It seems like most places quote 156.9 inches, but I presume that's the early cars. The scan above has 161.96 and 164.48 respectively for ROUS and California -- did California adopt bumperettes before they became standard everywhere else? |
