OK. Thanks Dave. Slowly I am getting the picture (the explanations are good but I am slow at getting them). Those Porsche engineers who designed the 914 had in mind that the engine would be dropped...

My problem is that although the body is a desirable 73, it...

Roland:
Thanks for the info. I checked the second website, however, they seem to use a fabricated chassis. I am interested in the stock VW Beetle chassis with a Porsche 914 power train.

912 collectible value and color change

I posted a similar topic in the 914 forum, but since 912s are far more collectible, I think it is more relevant to the 912 forum. The question is:

Since some of the original factory colors were...

Are those heated seats original equipment? Did they come as options from the factory in the 73 model? Also, are they electrically heated, conected to the battery?

I have a 73 914 with a strong 1.7 engine. It has two Webers. It is smog-test exempt in California. Today I looked at a 74 914 with a tired 2.0, fuel injected. My question is: Can you replace the...

914 for dunebuggy

I may be wrong, but years ago I saw a dunebuggy (vw beetle chassis) with a mid-engine, and transmission behind the wheels. I was told it was a 914 conversion. That is, a 914 powertrain mounted on a...
