Well, I wonder what the average demographic for 914 owners would be.

At 28, I'm not the youngest here am I?

Posted by: mipstien Jul 4 2010, 07:01 PM

im 27
so your not the youngest and yet i know there is at least another person younger than myself. probably more.

I was 28 when I bought my first, only, and current 914. But, but, but, that was 35 years ago this month

I was 25 when I bought my 72 914 NEW!

Cannot believe what the last 3 years have done to my body, but the '72 WILL fire this year!

Turned 48 two months ago - bought my first '73 2.0 914 in 1982 a couple of months before my 20th birthday.

51. First 914 (a '75) at 20 in 1979 (I'm only on #2)

Posted by: bdstone914 Jul 4 2010, 10:45 PM

I am 61 and my son is 22. Looks like I am not the oldest and he is not the youngest 914 teener here.

Somebody has got to be in their teens.

I sold some part to a guy recently who is 85 with a 914 and he wanted the parts gauranted until he was 92. He is the oldest 914 owner I know.

It is great to see the appeal they have over many generations.

Posted by: pilothyer Jul 4 2010, 11:24 PM

I have been 28 for 28 years.......My first 914 was a cherry little 1970 which I bought in 1976. I have had 7 of them so far and still have 6 of them....my love for these little relics runs deep. I am glad I took a turn from the British cars I had before........MG's and Triumph's

Posted by: type47fan Jul 4 2010, 11:37 PM

I'm 62. I was 29 in 1977 when I bought my first, a '72. I've had 3, picking up the latest (last) one in 1983, a '76.

At this point, I can't imagine being without a 914, jack stands and all!

Interesting to see that like other special interest cars (especially Porsches) 914 ownership isn't a demographic at all. I'll be 55 in September.

I was 72 ,on the 26 of June. My 914 is in the garage , NOT on jack stands ready


to go anywhere! The driver however isn't. I will probbly get to take it only to Garold

Schaffer's cook out swap this year. Thats a damn shame. The mind is willing but

the body isn't. Owned it since Oct. 2000, and many many dollars ago. It looks

like this will be the last yr.,family wants me to pass it on to someone younger

who will be able to enjoy it. Not looking forward to that at all. Oh yea the 914

is rust free, I'm Not. Dave

Well I was 19 when I got my 911, 26 when I got my 914.
Started with Beetles at 16, so I've never had a car my age.

25 here. Bought the 914 4 years ago to go racin.... After 3 years of trying to get the car off the jack-stands and out to the race track, I gave up and bought a Miata.
...j/k This is my first full season in the 914.... and it's broken down right now.

Posted by: germanv82000 Jul 5 2010, 11:24 AM

Born in 1936. Saw my first Porsche about 1955 and was absolutely in awe that something that small (compared to its U.S. contemporaries) and beautifully finished existed. Sometime in the 80s I got my first Porsche 914 and am on my third presently. The love continues but sadly my son could care less and my grandsons are too young to be responsible enough to own it.

I´m 45 and bought my first and only 914 in Los Angeles when I was 32 on a vacation.
I live in Drammen Norway and still drive my unrestored 914 during summer time. It is still unrestored (It has previously been repainted and lost its orange colour to black). The original 1,7 L lost a valve and has been replaced with a Europeen 2 L 100 HP.

Posted by: charliew Jul 5 2010, 03:43 PM

I remember when kennedy got shot. I was home working under a 39 chev hotrod with a loose flywheel. I didn't have my first vw yet, it's a 58 I got about 1965 or 66. The 914 is pretty new to me I've only had it for about three years it will also be a hotrod I hope. I felt as good at 50 as I did at 40 as I did at 30 but things are slowing down now some but I can just think about a approach to a problem a little better. I do have two sons that are car guys, the youngest is a real car guy, he can and is applying his education to the hobby and is getting a big jump on things as compared to my long journey. I had to hide most of my tools from him when he was 5. He is like having a automatic calculator on hand when he is around. It's funny I can add, multiply and subtract faster than he can but give him a scientific calculator and he will overwelm me pretty quick. Ask him the cfm and lbs of fuel required for a 400hp 2.9 at 7500 with a given ve and he knows exactly how to compute it. Young people in hotrodding have the advantage if the government doesn't ruin life for them.

The newest challenge is to convert the hotrods to natural gas liquid I guess.

Posted by: Ian Stott Jul 5 2010, 04:16 PM

I'm 57, and am happy to hear I am old enough for one of Jake's engines! First saw a 914 in 1973 at a dealership and wanted one since, especially a 73 for obvious reasons, got one in 2008. Just finished a 1000 mile plus trip that was trouble free, the more it runs the better it gets. I am a professional driver and have driven a lot of different vehicles over the years and the 914 is the one that brings out the biggest shit eatin grin. Looking forward to my first PCA cruise this coming weekend, James Smith from Maine is also attending with his beautiful six, I'm sure we will have pics to post next week.

Interesting how many 'bought my first' way back when. Me too - sig says it all. I was 19 when the first car was born.

Damn - just looked at my own sig. I've been farting around with the new car for 3 years! That does it. By the end of the month it has to be on the road!

Posted by: zx-niner Jul 5 2010, 09:02 PM

56 here. I must be pretty average since I sent my engine to Jake Raby 2 years ago when I was 54. There's something about having the kids out of college and on their own that allow the finer things in life.

I got my first 914 in 1978 and have owned 4 others since, although not continuously. The current one will probably be my last. I just can't see a Raby-engined 45-year old 914 making a good post-retirement daily driver. Especially in Vegas where we expect to be.

Posted by: Cupomeat Jul 5 2010, 09:07 PM

I got my first and current 914 in 1987 when I was 17.

That will make me 40 this year and I agree about the "EMPTY NEST" 914 time as I have a 4 yr old and a 1.5yr old.
I see some people do amazing things while still having young ones, but I can't do it.

Posted by: jcambo7 Jul 5 2010, 09:29 PM

I'm turned 71 in June of this year. My first 356 I bought it in 1975 sold a short time latter should have done that that. My first 914 was purchased in 1978 in Houston Tx, sold it when I returned to Saudi Arabia. Bought my current 914 2.0 5 years ago when I retired. Its finished now and I'm driving it now. That my story and I'm sticking to it. I glad I'm not the oldest here.

Posted by: flipb Jul 6 2010, 06:47 AM

Is this the second time we've had a thread like this? I swear I answered it once before but I don't see my response.

Anyway - I'm 32. Bought my first 914 - my first/only impractical "extra car" - last fall.

I can't really explain why, but since I was in High School, I've always talked about owning a 914. After the second kid arrived (last March), I realized it was "now or not til mid-life crisis" and decided to jump at the opportunity. Both kids love it, although they haven't been for rides. Took my wife for an alfresco drive Friday in beautiful weather and finally won her over too.

The key is to find the family, work, and hobby balance. It's amazing how much you can complete with a 1/2 hour a day and still have time for you family. Still, a 1.5 year old is a lot of work and I didn't have my 914 when my littlest was that age. Although, I did have other hobbies including RC Airplanes and cars.

Posted by: charliew Jul 6 2010, 02:54 PM

Actually I glad that I'm old enough to not need hex. When I used hex life wasn't near as much fun.

Posted by: patssle Jul 6 2010, 04:04 PM

I'm 24. Last year I was going to buy a classic Beetle and convert it into an electric car. My dad said get a Porsche instead. So I did, then dropped the electric conversion idea since it's too much fun to drive (despite having no horsepower).

If I can get heater and A/C into it, along with a real engine...I'd be pretty happy with it.

Posted by: scotty b Jul 6 2010, 04:11 PM

Chronologically = 36

Mentally = 15

Physically= usually either 18 or 80. Depends on the day and what I'm doing

Cosmically = timeless

Had my first 914 for about 12 years and is still sits behind my parents garage....under a tarp.....next to the last 2 I picked up......

Damn shame I've probably had 10-12 914's and never had one that was roadworthy

Posted by: tat2dphreak Jul 6 2010, 04:58 PM

Posted by: Cupomeat Jul 6 2010, 09:34 PM

Yes, I certainly have other hobbies, including about 200+ hrs intoDirecting/Producing/Filming and editing the Dr. Evil video, but I chalk that up to 914 time and figure I've spent more 914 time this year than the last 5 together.

Bought my first 914 in 1974 at 22 years of age. My -6 came along when I was 25, and after a few 911s, another 914 (that I converted to a -6) was added to the collection about 10 years ago.

I guess that makes me another owner almost older than dirt. Other than my knees, I still feel like that 22 year old!

A couple of months after that trip, he and I had a couple of chics riding in the car with us. Did you know you could put 4 people in a teener? I've owned mine going on 6 years. Wish I had bought one sooner.

I remember when Elvis Presley was a comunist plot to subvert the morals of American youth. He got more respectable after he went into the army.....



65 in a couple of weeks.

First ride in a 914 was at the dealers in 1973, couldn't afford it... Had my car for about 15 years now...

I am 58, saw my first teener in 73, thats why I wanted a 73. I was a young Private in the Air Force with enough money for a milkshake and a movie, loved the car from that moment on, should have bought one in 77 when I was in Germany, bought an Audi instead, not knocking it, the Audi was a great car. I am now the proud owner of a 73 2.0 which is all original except the stereo, got it in 2008, wife found it on line; it was my 20th anniversary gift.

This year = I turned 59

Next year = I will turn 49

My Name is Benjamin Button

Seriously, though.......................

First 73 2.0L in 76 after 3 years of torture from Steve Gaglione for not having one. That was Oly Blue. Beat the living crap out of that car.

Second, 73 2.0L in Bahia Red - Beat that one from 81 to 84 in STL - Left for dead

Third, 73 2.0L Black - Beat it to death from 84 to 88 in STL - Certified dead

Fourth, 75 2.0L White - Ran initially, but turned it into a parts car and sold it off

Fifth, 73 2.0L Signal Orange = Orangina LIVES!

Sixth, 75 2.7L Palma Green Metallic Conversion - Sold it

Seventh, 72 2.2T White Conversion - Track car and it is primer until I decide what color it will be.

Eighth, It will be another 6 Conversion - Looking for one quietly, but I think I am pretty picky.

Gaglione calls it a disease.

I agree

Don't Reply!

Ripper is stalking us!

He's looking for fresh meat for the slab,

And trying to figure out how little he can offer our survivors for our cars....

He has a plan for world-wide domination and control of ALL 914's!!!!!

Seriously, I have had the fortune to have sat in several classes taught by Dr. Werhner Von Braun, known many of the moon rocket scientists, seen much of the preliminary Space Shuttle project documents, and have spent several informal sessions swapping dirty jokes with Dr. Edward Teller.
Guess my age!

I find this sad, let's get a damn teener on the road for you.....


As for me, Ive always had a thing for 914s ever since I was little. My dad showed me pictures of his yellow original /6 and I knew I had to have a 914.

I still own 2 of the 3, including my first one. Bought the '75 2.0L in '06 and had it ever since. Bought my '71 this past April, was rear ended and picked up another '75 V8 conversion as my new daily driver.

I'll be 28 in November.
