While the 1.7, 1.8, and 2.0 were all VW sourced engines. Karmann I think built the bodies and VW handled assembly. None of the 914's wore nose badges in the US market and were kind of like the "ferrari dino" in how the parent company viewed them at one time.
I have been looking for one for years but sadly they are mostly rusted away now and the ones that remain are almost gone but the owners think they are worth 5-6k unrestored.
