As I promised in the 'Free Plate' thread - here are some of the remaining extra 914 plates available. The free contest was fun, but I think the thread is dead. It climbed to being the one with the 2nd most all time post, but it has now faded several pages back without any action. I thank you all for a moment of fame and glory. I'll enjoy my #2 position 'till some snot nosed brat comes along with a more popular idea.
Now the rules of the sale. This is NOT a capitalistic venture. I was happy to give away some of the plates (and eat the postage) to a lucky few. I am making more of my other extras availabe to those who want one - AT MY COST. The price per plate is $ 10, postage included. (Yes, even to Holland) After deducting the postage plus my original purchase price of the plate (@ $5 for most) ALL REMAINING FUNDS WILL BE DONATED TO KORIJO's WHEEL CHAIR FUND! There is a limit of TWO plates per person. First come - first served. Choose wisely. The condition of the plates varies from 'road kill' to mint never issued. No refunds. No whining. All sales are final! Post your request and your choice(s) will be reserved. DO NOT send payment 'till you see confirmation posted. Send payment to: John Peterson, 612 E. Essex Dr., Las Vegas, NV 89107. (don't forget to include your address)
The attached photo will be updated as the plates are taken.

I'll take the Arkansas plate (1st one pictured), and Minnesota 73-914, please. I can donate to my own fund, right?
I went to school in Ark...
I'd like the Minnesota plates 70-914 and 72-914. I can put the payment in tomorrows mail. Thanks, Mark
Wyoming 1 914H please. Thanks.

And BTW, how did you get into collecting these plates, what a collection!!
korijo, markb & Hawk - got 'em.
don't worry 'cause the 70, 72 & 73 Minn. are still up there (I have the mate to the pair)
To answer how I started: 10 yrs ago I bought a new car without a sunroof. I used that excuse to finally get a 914. (I still think the targa top is the best design option for any car) The 914 had wide spaced holes on the front bumper. I thought it would be cool to add a German plate. While searching for one I developed a new hobby. That was three 914's, 5000 plates and $$$$$'s ago. I shoulda just sprung the extra 700 for the sunroof. I woulda saved myself 100K. I don't collect just 914 plates. I have complete runs (190? to date) from several states. My main focus now is Rally plates. This one is from a Sunbeam Rapier driven by Lola Grounds.

Your walls at home must look like perforated tiles
If you have another 70 914 MN plate I will pony up for that as well.
A small collection of 3 would be tolerated by the wife, I think.
914 NAH MN?
I'll get my dad to send the $$ when he calls me from down South. Picking up a 72
Do you have any plates from up here (Canada)? There is a few in the garage (not 914 plates) if you would like one?
Thanks, yes to the Alberta plate. I'll ask about the Yukon, NWT plates. he might know about them.
Blade Demon - welcome to the Club!
VR - how valuable for collectors do these plates get? Are they like comic books and stuff?
-Rusty
Vegasracer,
Thanks much. Check's in the mail for the 2 plates- I will include shipping. No reason you should foot that bill.
The wife is used to my Porsche obsession and associated stuff but this is quite novel.

Someday, I'd like to find a Carerra Panamericana race license plate.
From what I've heard - bring money.
-Rusty
I'd like two for myself and two for a friend if possable...
For me: Colorado WR-914 and (can't see state) XC 9142
I love CO and World Rally plus I plan on doing another cross country trip in a 914.
If I could do three I'd go for a minnesota PHT 914
That would be PHAT!
For Bruce Carney: Minnesota 73-914 and Iowa (10) 4914
He has a '73 /4 and on our XC trip last summer he got a speeding ticket in IOWA at almost 104mph (102 really).
How does one pay?
I'll take Minnesota 20-914!
Just noticed an earlier msg that you still have MN 73-914. I may want that instead - do you have it still?
Yup. I just got a 2.0L 1973. It's perfect for the front bumper!
The plates have been sent to markb, Hawk, Blade Demon & ErnieDV.
I am still waiting to hear from Korijo & djm914-6. If you sent payment, I have not received it.
It's not to late if anybody else wants some of the plates from the photo attached to the first post of this thread.
I will be sending $25 to Brad as promised from the sale of the plates so far, to be added to the wheelchair fund.
It's not as much as I hoped to generate, but every little bit gets us closer to our goal.
Oopps... Forgot. Going out today
See Dave - All that spleef will rot your mind. :flower:
You do know that when you get your new chair we are all going to be lined up for free rides.
And don't forget, you are just a hired driver for that thing. You can easily be replaced. :toilet:
