Agreed. They are coo / unique little cars & still reasonably priced for an air cooled Porsche. Since I purchased mine a few months ago, I have been surprised at how many people have never seen one.
As a long time owner of an original 914-6, there are few other differences between the Originals and the Conversions. The Originals were assembled on the same line as the 911's in Stuttgart and the serial numbers started with 914. The 914-4's were assembled in Wolfberg and had VW serial Numbers. The six's also had 2 small filler doors. front fender drivers' side for fuel and rear passenger side for the Oil Filler. The 2 liter 6 was the same as 991T engine. I replaced mine at 110,000 miles with a 2.4 S engine with a considerable bump in power. Six's also had vented discs all around, Your 73 engine is probably a 2.2 T engine. ( 3 Engine levels at the Time T, E & S ( Touring, Injection, and Sport ). Most owners upgraded to 6 inch fuchs plus check for body cracks near the Rear trialing arm mounts. ..... and the correct pronunciation is Por-sha, not Porsh please.
I owned a 1972 914 2 litter & a 1973 911s 2.4 liter.The mid engine 914 was much more fun to drive=just like a go cart. The rear heavy 911 can bite you if the rear end breaks loose.
The 914 has always been on my "must own" list. I remember drooling over the old Automotion catalogs and all the parts they had for the 914-6 swaps.

@@b2chaseman it's been quite a while since I've seen one in the road, and I'm out here in California.
@@NCCoder Wow. I thought that if you would see them anywhere, it would be in Cali! I need to do a quick little video on the one we just purchased.
@@b2chaseman please do!
I never knew those came stock with a Porsche 6. Cool.
Thanks!
Most were 914-4’s with 4 cylinders, but there were also 914-6’s available with the Porsche 6. Very cool!

Even though he thought the world was flat he didn’t see the irony of wanting to travel around the world.
Not a mechanic and not a lot of tools but has a lift in his garage …. Define not a lot of tools lol
Yup. I think we all would define it differently.
