Porsche
914 & 914/6 Components & Accessories
As
production of the Porsche 914 ended after the 1976 model year and the Porsche
914/6 was terminated after the 1972 model year, there is (understandably) a lot
of confusion and ambiguity surrounding what these cars originally looked like.
In addition to the passage of time, the following factors compound this
confusion:
-
The
Porsche 914 was a joint project between Volkswagen and Porsche, AG involving
integration of VW and Porsche 911 components into both the
four and six cylinder models.
-
The
Porsche 914 was styled and marketed differently in Europe and North America.
-
The
Porsche 914/4 was assembled by Volkswagen in their Wolfsburg factory, while
the Porsche 914/6 was assembled by Porsche in the Zuffenhausen facility.
This created some additional process and terminology variations.
-
Porsche
914 components and trim styles changed frequently, and, oftentimes, these
changes were not indicated by a corresponding part number change.
Additionally, component changes (including items as important as front brake
calipers) occasionally occurred mid-run during a production model year as opposed to between
model years.
The
buttons on the left lead to sections with detailed descriptions, information and
pictures of the components or accessories indicated. Additional categories will
be added over time.
