i was wondering if anyone has ever heard or made a offroad rally 914?

Posted by: Series9 Apr 21 2006, 08:54 PM

I've seen factory and user-built.

The server is not responding right now, but there should be some pics there.

A 914 finished 3rd at Monte Carlo in 1971. Look around.

I always wanted to do one of those vintage PanAmerican rallys in a built-up 914!

You can't in a 914. Teeners are not old enough to run in the Carrera Panamericana.

I took my 914 on a run through the mountains on a road that had 10 or so miles of dirt. It was unbelievable ! Posted speed limits were 20 or so. It felt like I was flying. Then, after the fun was over I looked in the engine bay. Hard to distinguish it from the dirt road itself - that mid engine compartment is a vacuum cleaner.

Grant,
NICE pics Thanks for sharing. I enjoy seeing a 914 used in "anger" rather than lolling on some manicured lawn getting "ooohhs" and "aaahhs".

I've seen that jacked up 914 picture a hundred times and this time I finally saw that the car has a V-Mar sticker. The dude lived in Napa and I met him a couple times before I was into 914s. I wonder if he built the car....

Posted by: merrill Apr 23 2006, 06:22 PM

I'm 1 mile from the Sherwood chairlift, and 4 miles from Sunnyside. I would be stoked to lend a hand if needed. I have some tools and 4 jackstands without a car on them! I know right where you are located, my little brother lives on Wellington near the clubhouse. I have only met one other 914 owner in the area, but there is another in Tahoma that I have not had the pleasure of meeting. Feel free to call the # in my signature.
