New Here.
I have seen that there are some Coloradians here with 914s. I now have in possession a 1974 914 2.0 and need to source a decent location for parts without going to a stealership (like they would help anyway). To start with I need the door windows, yep, all... the wings, glass, runners, regulators, tracks, crank handles, all... for both doors. Also the accelerator cable is broken, have a new one and started to take things apart to replace when we went into this deep freeze, don't enjoy working on this thing in the cold. In the cable replacement effort I fund the pedal more than a little loose, the 'hinge part to the floor is not in very good shape. the pedal needs to be replaced. So if any of you Colorado guys could help point me in the direction of somewhere to start getting parts it woud be greatly appreciated. I'm in Colorado springs.

I have had several other P-cars, started with a 924S, four 944's, two 951's, and a 968. Currently have the 914, a '84 944 with GT Racing glass hood, nose, flared front fenders and flared rear quaters. The 968 is a '94 Cabriolet with ~38k miles, I took it to Portland for Parade this past summer.

Thanks for any help on locating a parts source for the 914,

Ken

Just replaced the accelerator pedal in mine--best price I could find was $36.00. And it's still on sale for $1 off! Everyplace else wanted about $70 bucks for the damn thing. Here's the link:

Yup, I am!

Last meeting I went to was at the dealership, in November. The one before that was at the garage-mahal. I was the tall, good looking one!

So, do I know you? PM me!

Hhhmmmm... 'Gals'...'Outbacks', Peoples Republic of Boulder... no offense to any of the "Boulderites", but I prefer to stay to the South---- ie. CoSprgs, unless I'm going through to the Sundance in Nederland!

Number One, the works... since '78...
