Hello all,I have been lurking around here for awhile so it's finally time to come out.I bought this 75 2.0 about 3 months ago. It's about 90% rust free with good longs,hell hole,and trunk floors.It ain't perfect but neither am I I have been driving it daily since we brought it home and man what fun this has been.I love the looks while sitting in traffic,people are like WTF is that thing as many people have no clue as to what these cars are.I'll keep it short and let me know what you think,Thanks.....Ben p.s. a few pics are from when I bought it and the others are mine.

I've seen that car in person when it was around Charlotte. Seems like a decent driver! Have fun!

Hello 86Turbo,

Where are you hiding that thing? I was pleasantly surprised to see the Jefferson County plates in the first pic. There are a few others around here, not many.

I live near Seneca Park, I have a completely disassembled 1.7 1970, waiting for an opening at Cliffords to get painted.

P.S.

Your garage is way too clean.

Thanks for the welcome guy's. I bought it out of NC and the person drove it to Knoxville where he met up with us and I drove it home here to Louisville,KY. It's been pretty reliable with a few little issues that I am still sorting out but all in all a fun project. The colors grow on you after a while but I may eventually paint it but, who knows I kind of enjoy being able to leave it in a parking lot and not worry too much. Anyone else close to me? I see one person so far and if so we should have a get together sometime,nothing formal but maybe some garage talk and some kind of dead animal to chew on.......Ben

Great car, but can I have the building with the nice tile floor? So much space and so much to do!

Posted by: 86Turbo May 21 2013, 03:09 PM

I hear ya on the tile floor garage,but as always that belongs to the previous owner. Mine is the more congested one in the top pics,but hey at least I have a place to escape and tinker!!!!

Nice looking '75 with back-dated bumpers. The only way to go. Good luck and have fun.

I like it it's different but not over done. Never saw that color before is it olive brown?
The cars are really a lot of fun. Top off is even more fun, but the other really neat thing is the free member ship in 914 World. More info then you'll ever need and you can really learn everything about our Porsche Teeners.

I like the color combo! nice looking car!

Hay Ben !

I'm south where America's best sportscars are assembled.
My car also has the lightest 914 4-lug German alloys on it like yours. Know John Hora or Chuck Hicks ?
Me Pops and I are going to Bluegrass PCA D.E. at Putnam IN in a few weeks - you going ?
