914World.com _ 914World Garage _ How many 914's have been saved?

Posted by: PBC914 Aug 1 2011, 06:06 PM

I have a 914 I saved from rusting into the ground and becoming one with the earth again, and am buying another 914 this week. I am wondering how many 914 owners have brought their 914 back from the dead?

The poll should be:

Posted by: reharvey Aug 1 2011, 07:08 PM

I've saved five so far. A white 70 1.7, light ivory 73 2.0, silver and a red 74 both 2.0 and my latest project a black 2.0

I am about to scrap 2... where is the other side of the spectrum?

I would be happy to expand the poll if PCB would permit...
Add in questions for Scrapped cars and Parted cars.

PCB is a drug (so I've heard), but PBC will let you expand it, sure!

just got my third running and on the road. Rust in floor boards which was replaced; rolling chassis which now has a 3.2 Sixer with all the 911 goods, stress kits, mods, etc. one can put on these cars.

First one converted to V-8 before it became common to do this project; from junk yard; Became friends with KEP on this one.

Have a fourth in reserve which I am considering making a trailer, or ????. I probably will make it a running car and looking at electric type. Yes, another junk yard special.

Is it OK that I counted my -6 car before its done?

Posted by: johannes Aug 2 2011, 01:31 AM

None.

Yeah--I've scraped two that were rusted in half and I'm sure a lot of people here have done the same.

How many wrecked or did we kill?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Aug 2 2011, 11:48 AM

I saved mine 10 years ago. It wasn't quite dead but was on life support. I thought I would like to do another one but I don't think the one I have will ever be done completely.

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Aug 2 2011, 08:14 PM

I added more questions but I think I would have to zero out the answers for people to vote again.

The questions needed a zero response. I have saved 4, scrapped and parted none.

Working on number 5 now. rescued from over 20 years of storage.

IMHO scrapped and parted are one in the same. The only way there is a difference is if someone took a found car straight to the crusher without keeping any piece of it.

Perhaps Rick,Chris,Perry,Mark, George and I should only vote on the number of personal cars we have saved ? Our numbers could skew things as our customers may also vote on the same car.
