Hi: This popped up as a teaser for one of those super annoying click-bait slide show ads (Vintage photos of life in the 80's) on a news website I was looking at. I had to page through a bunch of stupid slides to get back to this one, but it was interesting now quickly the 914 shape caught my eye.
Sharing just for a bit of nostalgia value:

Body colored bumpers, minimal trim, steel wheels with hubcaps.
Somehow, that look has really grown on me over the years.

Was it only '70- '71 ? or until when ?

I think '72 also had body colored bumpers on non-appearance group cars.

That is a cool picture, brings back memories of old Pizza Huts. The 914 is very cool.

I'm having deja vu and so should you.

But this version is cropped a little wider, and do I spy a 911 there?

Just got back from 8-day bus tour of SW National Parks - tried to catch a window seat to check out all the lots with rusty cars to see if any hidden 914s out there. Lots of trucks, A few bugs and a VW van, but no 914s.

They say 80s, but all the cars are early 70s. Not sure about the bikes.

The car on the far left looks like a VW fastback. The vehicle on the far right could be a split window VW bus, but it really tests ones eyesight and it might just be wishful thinking. Either way, it's a cool 914 and photo!

The white car looks to be a 1970 Plymouth Fury II (Although it could be a 1971 Fury III, hard to tell without a straight on look at the taillights). My grandmother had a 1970 Plymouth Fury III that she named "the bitch" because it would, about twice a summer, just die whilst driving with the A/C on. It'd start right back up.

Ah! Thanks. It didn't quite look right for 911 but couldn't squint hard enough to figure out what it might be. Yes, fastback.

Had a white 72 with body colored bumpers. It also had front and rear sway bars and no fog lights. Seems whoever ordered it was leaning more towards sports car.Powered by Invision Power Board (http://www.invisionboard.com)
