Those strips went out of fashion before you had been born Mockmaw (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They are protective trim to help from getting door dings, ugly then, ugly now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

seriously, those could have been added by the dealer or someone that just wanted to help protect the car from the errant shopping cart or door ding from the bozo next to you in the parking lot.

I know that this is not a 914, but I have a few reasons to post it on this list.

1. Brad helped me on this car way back in 1996, when he had a shop in Arlington, TX (BRM Performance).

2. The car is going to be moving to the Bay Area with me on June 2nd, and I hope to soon get a 914 to put on the track.

3. It will be getting an engine transplant to a 2.3L 914 motor...must have more power.

Anyway, here it is...

was that side-chrome-trim a factory option?
never seen a car with that before ... interesting ...

nice car, Mockmaw!

Andy

I can't find anything in the "Restorer's Guide" about these... Were they a dealer option?

Some of the side strips were dealer installed, ask me how I know. The dealer I worked at installed the aluminium metal strips first, drilled holes and either screwed or pop rivet on and then inserted the rubber center and then the end caps.
It was all a sales dept. profit deal, along with the other add-ons. I saw alot of that when I was at a Datsun dealership.

My car has that '70's trim piece too. I personally don't like it on my car and I've been thinking about taking it off. Don't want to make a bigger mess though.

Thanks Chris. I will never forget the one time when one of the PDI guys was drilling into the door and his drill bit broke and gouged out the paint about 12 inches. Car was being delivered that day. Owner backed out of the deal when he saw the damage.
The stick on ones have probably all put fallen of of most of the 914s and yes some 911s.

Thanks for the props on the 912...it is actually a '69.

As I understand, the side trim peices were part of the option list from the factory, but they could have been dealer installed also. They actually came in a narrow width and a thicker width and matched the front and rear trim on the bumpers. When I did the restoration of this car, I decided not to put the peices back on and I have the holes filled.

As for the stereo, I designed and built it with the intention that it could be taken out also (for weight savings). It packs one hell of a bump for a single 8" sub. Surprisingly, I was able to eliminate every single rattle from the car so the it doesn't sound horrible from the outside.

Here is the pic that Brad was referrring too...my Mom had the great idea of pushing the car up the drive way with an Explorer. Needless to say, things didn't end up like they should have and then they call me to tell me the bad news. lol!!
