With any luck I'll be getting my '73 back from the body shop within the month, and I was considering getting a car cover for it. The car will be kept in the garage, so an all-weather cover is unnecessary. Ideally, I'd like to find a cover that is fitted to the car or fits fairly tightly.

Anyone here have any recommendations, or perhaps the opposite?

I really like Cover King silver guard. I have had great luck and the fit is really good, not cheap though.

Agree w/ Pete. I have the same and can use it outside too, but is not waterproof.

But for strictly indoors, try this - http://www.covercraft.com/cartlink/index.php?cust_id=covercraft&prod_id=ccff#cl-tab-overview

Form fitted, soft, not cheap but awesome product.

California car cover came with mine & I like it. totally custom fit -you can tell its a 914 even with the cover on. mines not waterproof but they have several materials to choose from
can't remember what material mine is but it's <$200
full on water/weather proof maybe $300 or a little more
good customer service too had mine on the car without the targa top on and my dog fell thru and tore it ccc first sent a free 1x1 sample piece that wasn't big enough to mend then I bought 1 sq yd which they had no problem with and even gave me some pointers about fixing it
good cover good people
ymmv

+1 on California Car Cover. Different versions for indoor and outdoor use. Fits very well

Love the cover, but it needs a mohawk on the top.

If you just want a generic cover then ebay works.

For best prices on beautifully made custom covers give Steve Behnke at Murphy's Motoring a call. I have bought 3-4 covers from them and have been extremely satisfied. I Have a red cover for the 914 that is sort of a soft spandex cotton which fits like a glove. Perfect for garage storage. Steve will let you know pros and cons of various options.
