It needs paint (Scotty) but she is still purdy. I washed it today, and figured I would shoot some pics for you guys. I know you just love pics.

Sweet.

Glad you're back on the road

Okay Joseph,

So we still have to love a mostly original narrow body 73 914-2.0 in Alaska Blue with the Beige interior!

A great stock factory color combo & one of my two top picks for 73 MY from back in the day, the other being the Marathon Blue metallic with the same interior.

Treat her to some new bumper tops from Mikey914/914rubber/Mark W when you get her repainted by Scotty!

Gemini Blue metallic & Blue Metallic from the 70-72 MYs was close to your Alaska, and made for the ultimate "Surf Porsche" ad .....



Cheers!
Tom

Very NICE Joe, you lucky bastard. I have one......a green one if I remember, I think. Somewhere?

Congrats on getting your projects done quickly and driving your car regularly.

Great looking car, love the Alaska Blue! I have cousins who live around York so I've been out your way in PA a lot. Almost all my relatives live in either Hershey, Lancaster or York areas. Cheers!

York, Pa. must have the highest concentration of 914's in the country behind Poquott, NY.

She looks real good.

I have been exactly where you are, you know its worth the wait. If you rush it, it will explode (ask me how I know)


I will call Tony and tell him to finish it today

Funny you should mention it,

Yesterday I saw an orange 914 at the pharmacy right next to my house, I pulled in to see who would come out. It was an older woman 70+ and I met her. She purchased the car new here in York in 1974. WOW. Then she went on and on about Wigglesworth and the old shop, and some of the guys that worked with Gary and how much she love her car. This woman was ready to talk all day.



It was pretty cool.


With this new orange car in the neighborhood, I think that puts us at 20 914s in York not including the 6 at Translog. (well I did include 1 at Translog)
