Nice pics!!

Hey, I'll buy the racing seat off you if you want to sell it.

Posted by: biosurfer1 Sep 12 2003, 12:05 PM

eh, its probably delphi, i was just going on what the seller told me, havent had time to check it out.

He is in denial...

Posted by: biosurfer1 Sep 12 2003, 12:09 PM

actually, i could care less what color it is for now, it runs great and is so much fun to drive, plus it was cheap, which are the three things i wanted most but thanks for clearing that up so i can stop telling people the wrong color ( even though i'll bet they had no clue either way)

Posted by: biosurfer1 Sep 12 2003, 12:13 PM

oh ya, about the seats...they are for trade only!! I'm looking for some excellent condition original or matching seats, i really dont have the time to sell these and try to find other ones which is why i need to trade. I have all the reciepts for these seats so i do know how much they were, so as long as the one's i'm trading for are in perfect condition(as these are), i think it's a fair trade. this week i am really busy with work and school so i'll try to get back to everyone who emails as soon as possible..thanks for the interest.

Congrats. Does it have the factory sway-bars?

Posted by: Hi_Fi_Guy Sep 12 2003, 01:34 PM

Looks great. I have a Delphi Green Metallic in the shop being resprayed right now. I always loved that color. If yellow cars are faster and red cars are for picking up chicks then are Mountain Dew colored cars more refreshing? Who knows but they are damn cool looking IMHO.

When is her first Auto-X?

excellent. now push that bmw with the new seals out in the driveway and put your car in its rightful place in the garage.

looks great man!

Posted by: seanery Sep 12 2003, 03:52 PM

I love that color (probably in my top 3 or 4).

Looks like the rear trunk needs a little adjusting, or your hinges may be going/gone.

Posted by: synthesisdv Sep 12 2003, 03:56 PM

car looks great,

when is the next concours?

Posted by: McMark Sep 12 2003, 07:35 PM

Isn't it a 73 since it doesn't have the bumper tits? Assuming they haven't been backdated.

Posted by: MarkV Sep 12 2003, 07:54 PM

But if was a 73 wouldn't it have a center console. Unless someone removed it.

Do you like the way I steal photos from, & make reference to you color page, & didn't even give you credit. Sorry

Posted by: redshift Sep 12 2003, 07:59 PM

All 2.0 cars did not have the console, that only came with the package. Ala Carte'!

ok, to answer some of the questions/comments:

it is a 74 (checked the VIN)and i do have the bumper things, just not on the car right now..


it will take a lot of work to be concours worthy...

i do need to adjust the hinges on the trunk, but right now thats #126 on the list:)... working on the engine first...

i still havent figured out if it has sway bars, i'll be checking that soon...

thanks for all who looked!! these cars are awesome! i have a 4runner also and the original plan was to use that most of the time, and have the 914 as a project/fun car...didnt work out that way, the runner's in storage and i drive this all the time, mostly cause it's so fun, but also much better gas mileage

i'm still looking for someone to trade seats, PM me or reply!!

Posted by: MarkV Sep 12 2003, 08:39 PM

No ala carte' in 73 for 2.0's. All 73 2.0's came withe the "S" package. That meant that hey came with front & rear sway bars, center console, chrome bumpers, fog lights & 5.5" Fuchs wheels.

Posted by: campbellcj Sep 12 2003, 10:41 PM

Yep, looks like Delphi Green to me too, not Ravenna (hey, that ravenna car looks kinda familiar ) Very nice car anyway, though

Posted by: biosurfer1 Sep 13 2003, 04:32 PM

anyone interested in the seats???
