"virtually new" 914 wins Sacramento Valley PCA preservation class AND Niello best-of-show on Sunday

WOW! Very nice, easy to see why it got best of show
Is that a 72 /6? Not many 914s rarer than that.
I thiknk, you're right, I saw the steering col ignition and didnt count the wheel holes.
Every year at that event, they 'feature' a model. It looks like the 911 was the feature. As the cars come to the event, they stop them and take a static picture with the driver and tell the driver where to park. My guess is they saw this and decided it needed to be featured along with the featured cars. That is beautiful...
Later this year Sierra Nevada Region is having a concours. I hope he brings that over the hill! I'm sorry I missed seeing it!
72 had moveable pass seat ??? The one I looked at to buy 30 years ago did..
Yes that car would have to be a '70 or '71... wow what a stunner.
It looks like it's the same 914 that was shown at the Parts Heaven Concours. Pat Garvey would probably nit-pick a few things (hood emblem, Euro taillights) but obviously the car is near flawless. It's a '71 1.7 liter ...
Saw this beautiful car at the Part Heaven Swap Meet and it is as pretty in person as it appears in the pictures. A very nice example. Gotta love the Irish Green paint.
I think it's a '71 1.7
4 cyl. hubcaps, ignition on right of column and shiny appearance of upholstery that only '71 had. Oh, and the covered pass. side mirror on visor ?
Beautiful car.

I dont know 914 very well yet, but I saw this post and it made me think. My first 914 back in high school was a roller, that i started to rebuild but never finished and the ignition was on the left by the light switch.
Does that mean it was possibly a 914-6?

Damn! that makes my stomach turn, but this next bit of info will probably make a few people sick...My dad took it to the scrap yard and only got $35 for it. It was almost rust free, but it was just a tub, we even had to buy wheels and tires to get it out of the barn it was sitting in. and we used channel locks on the steering column.
Lucky dog! I'm jealous.
Georgeous machine. I thought that was your car Bob, but I didnt know you would haul it. Then again I've never seen Queenie.
Oh congratulations! Obviously at Parade the judges had seen a 914 before. I was standing near your car with Anita at Parts Heaven when the concourse judge stated that your footrest was not stock...
Edit: oops, don't know why I why thinking that SVR was parade

Keep your dad away from here Chad. I don't think the statute of limitations has run out on that crime.
If its any consolation, SirAndy has a six tub he might sell... Got $5000?
I called my dad and told him about it, he felt bad that he didn't know more about 914's all those years ago. If I could do it over I would love to build a six, but I am too far into mine already. I hope he tolds onto it and doesn't make any crazy decisions!
