I think you should fly me over to help you restore it. I may need to stay for a few years so better add a room on to your house.

The letters look too narrow and rounded. Hard to tell from the picture. I would like to believe in Grasshoppers as much as I would like to believe the readers letters in Penthouse, so until I find myself in a threesome with my wife and her long-lost twin sister, I will have to suspend my belief that this is in fact a Grasshopper. |

OK, there's my valuable contribution. |

Welcome to 914W!
I was only thinking about New Zealand members the other day (wondering if there were any 914's there?!?) I am married to a Kiwi girl from Tauranga! I will be hopefully emigrating in about 5 years time and wanted to take the 914 with me (I'm currently in the UK) How many 914's have you seen over there?? |

I'm as green as they come when I.D'ing factory 914's.
Some things in the photos that make me go hmmmmm. Or the nightshift is making my brain short circuit. Paint tag has 1849549 / Other ? tag has 1829549??? Grey color in the door jams??? Red color on the longs and interior??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Ok disregarded the grey and red , these are primer only as the body has had some work done by the last owner . i agree with the "why different codes ?" why ? and why only 1 digit difference ? I have added some data in the vin data base but here is is the past data; Imported into New Zealand in 1996 from past US owner Gary Caputo , San Clemente ,CA California plate number was 1ntz949 Has had 2 New Zealand owners but never registered here only ever been in storage. (13 years) The rocker covers were black and the targa bar is in black vinyl. The interior was black and had centre gauge console. So i guess to find out any more i need the COA?
