Porsche never put a hood badge on any 914 until the 916 came along, and then they put it on the back panel!!!!!! (almost like they were ashamed of the car) but we know of course for the most part it was because of the agreement they had with vw. If they did not want to put their hood badge on the 914 we do not either. That makes the 914 stand out on its own as the only so called PORSCHE without the max hoffman made up family crest shield!!!

How is it that I've never seen a 6 without a hood badge? Does that mean someone (or everyone) took the initiative to add the badge? I added to all my 2.0 cars but it came on my 4 6's.
Originality be hanged. A car as nice as the one in the thread deserves the badge. As a matter of fact, a 75 whale tail too if he wants it.

Thank you all for the kind words- it was certainly a labor of love.
Funny, I'm getting the itch to find a new project already. I doubt I could ever make a profit on this one though 
WOW! Too cool! As the former owner of 4 914-6s, a 72 1.7, 4 73 2.0s I am in pain right now wanting at least one of them back. Also, never saw a 6 without a hood badge and added the badge to all my 2.0 cars.
Great color too.
I'll give you $10,000 for it. Should be a significant profit for you.

Very nice! Although I currently own a Cayman, I have great memories of my old 1974 914 2.0. Bought it new just out of college and immediately took it on a couple thousand mile trip where I discovered the joys of the fuel pump right over the exhaust and the resulting vapor lock. It was my daily drive until 1989 when it was no longer safe to drive due to serious rust everywhere. (Stupid Chicago winters with salt everywhere!) I like to lurk on this forum to bring back the fond memories.
