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.
