I dug this out, trying to get books ready to sell. Dated 1970 Porsche/Audi. Gives parts groups pictures and information. Odd sized at 9"x*8". Printed on yellow card stock.

Never seen that book before. Must be as scarce as a 914 without any rust!

Very interesting, a reverse parts look up. You know what the part looks like and this book points you to the section of the parts book where it is located.

Interesting that VW of America would have published/printed that book. Weren't 914's sold at Porsche dealers?
I would second the idea of scanning it into electronic form and making it available. Porsche may be strict about copyrights, but I'm thinking VW of America wouldn't worry so much about a 55 yr old document.
