COTM June 2013 - It's back! OK, 914World members, it's time to nominate your pick for the car of the month! This contest is run by members for members, to enjoy some competition and celebrate the great Porsche 914. Here are the guidelines:

4. Poll will be open for 10 days, starting June 21st and closing at 23:59 EST June 30th.

6. The winning car will be featured on 914World home page until the subsequent winner is announced.
To everyone with a 914 about to enter this contest, remember "Winning is everything. The only ones who remember you when you come second are your wife and your dog. – Damon Hill"
Best of luck to all!

I always admired Rod's car (Root) ever since I saw it @ the ECC @ Scotty B's shop this past October.
Rod, if you've got any more pics, feel free to post them.
I can't remember what year the car is, but its flared, lowered, and has a 1.7L in it currently. I dig the blacked out look. 
Plus, its Kudzu approved.
I'd like to nominate it.

Already! Geez, can't we give Erc a few more weeks. We bumped Erc for Al (very much appreciated), then we leave Al's (and you know I loved Al) car up for 6 mo's. Erc busted his butt and rendered a fine example unto us.

You know, I was going to nominate a car the minute I saw this thread then saw that my car is in it already (Thanks Wills and Elliot!).
Then I thought, well why the hell not?! Then I saw that there are five already, but not all have been seconded.
So, while it may be a bit odd, my car being in this competition already, since there are two other non-big-motor entries are there that haven't been seconded, I'd like to second Neun Veirzehns amazing '70.
Tangent:
Competition is good and this isn't much more than a popularity contest anyway - but what's awesome about these COTM things that I really love is that it shows off all sorts of cool cars and gives us collectively a lot of ideas seeing what others have done without having to go across the country to see it in person, as the case may be.
One may guess rather easily that I'm not shy about modifications to the 914 - though I am definitely appreciative of those that work to preserve them, it's just not to my own taste. Make 'em rock as well as roll, I say.
And yes, I'm officially coming out of the closet as a fan of Mahle gas burners. Whew, what a relief to finally say it!

Yes, I made an error earlier on the 5th nomination (sincere apologies to all). When I QC'd this list I realized time stamps placed the nomination/second of ezbngreen914 as the 5th spot on the roster.

She's not just a pretty face, haha. I even one upped a Boxster that day (my 1st autox). Not the fastest car in the running by any means but she does get driven.

I think you probably mean James' car (ellisor3) - the metallic-cream orange car. So he'll have to answer that.
On the off chance you meant mine, the color is the original color - L32K - aka "Phoenix Red".
Pics and info on my car to come ... as soon as I finish a late dinner after this marathon of a day.
Posted by: shawn914 Jun 13 2013, 04:46 AM
914World....its coming soon. I now have the additional info from all nominees to post alongside the poll. I will get everything together with an aim to post the poll tonight.
Thanks for patience - we have a great slate of cars this month!!

It is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl, a modern version of Phoenix Red.
