Thanks for going out and getting the PPI done Ron. This is a really nice 914. Solid as a rock, no rust. Finally got some pics this weekend.

I found a dozen or so stock 914 caps while cleaning up the garage and shed(s). I like these better than the 356 style caps with the clicking Wolfsburg crests.

Aside from paint chips and door dings, it's a really nice little 914.

Mike, fantastic car, sorry I missed seeing at the swap meet. I'm sure we won't be pushing it up any mountains this summer like the other green one.

I love Z-Green and that is a damn fine example. Price paid?

noticed that two of the "tit" hub-caps are missing the center Porsche crest caps...i just happen to have two lying around and i have no use for them? They measure 2.5" in diamter w/ 3 prongs on the back w/ speed nuts. How's $25+shipping and they're yours? here's a pic of them:

Thanks gang. I forgot to add. It had one owner for 29 years. I went through 31 years of receipts. Oh, and BTW, it's 2056 built on 1.8 case and heads.

$5250 Less would have been better, but I paid fair market value.

They're stock caps on the passenger side. I was doing a comparison. I prefer the flat caps with no crest at all. Those stupid speed clips get loose and the crests click anyway. The car now has stock caps all around.

Gint - that is a sweet looking teener.

The wheels look great. Very Spartan!

heh the one i gave you was made out of a new cap, and the one i have has more of a nostalgic look b/c i yanked the cap off a bug at a Pick-a-Part. i still have a spare new cap lying around. Does anyone want a clock?

Very nice car Mike...can't wait to see it.

Replaced that progressive yet?

Posted by: TROJANMAN Mar 8 2006, 10:32 PM

i love that ebay project. i never would've thought to just paint the a/c unit instead of removing it.

Posted by: KELTY360 Mar 9 2006, 01:06 AM

Love those chromies. I bought a new 1.7 in July '73 and optioned it with chromies. Never saw another one with that combo. Nice score.
