Nice find, enjoy the ride

Nice 914+14 with a V-4+4 engine
.... also a bit of a Porsche NARPy orphan like our 914s, but great cars!

I wanted one to tow our vintage trailer, but my wife wants a "real backseat & more storage in back" - so now we're looking for a used Cayenne S instead.

Enjoy!

Cool! Congrats!

Does that plate pre date the car?

Posted by: rosenfe Dec 5 2015, 05:04 PM

not clear what you mean about plate?

Posted by: colingreene Dec 5 2015, 05:23 PM

Love it.

He was probably questioning the age of the plates...


California didn't go to the 7 digit blue plates until 1980 so it may be original

928s are becoming more popular with 914 owners. Several of us here - congrats on the acquisition.

Nice.... Always liked the 928, I've been thinking about swapping my M3 for one of these.

Nice car,my neighbor has one! Wondering,does it pass smog inspection?

A euro car shop owner I went to for our old MB, own a 928 that he is selling. I believed it is 85 yr model. He wants it gone for $10k.

Beautiful car. I have always wanted one of these but fear it may exceed my mechanical / electrical repair skills and / or my checkbook.

Posted by: Jett Dec 6 2015, 02:59 PM

We love ours 79, but we are continually surprised by the cost of restoration parts. For example a full interior refresh with carpet (PO smoked) is around $10K and then you need to install , but expecting the outcome to be amazing

In addition, although there is a great interior vendor (928leather.com), there is no equivalent vendor like 914Rubber (Mark), therefore rubber seals come from Porsche

Cool colour. Always liked the 928.
Good luck with it.

I just bet Mark might be interested in cross pollinating if there is enough demand. Maybe he can hang out on the 928 Rennlist or the Bird for while a see who is interested.

Posted by: billh1963 Dec 6 2015, 05:45 PM

Yep....

When I fist started working in the late '80's I wanted one so bad I couldn't stand it! Of course, they weren't so cheap or so old back then. Now the potential repair costs scare me off.

I was in Germany when they first came out and all us young Air Force guys were drooling! Still like them, awesome car for its time and still a joy to drive.
