914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914 sickness continues
Posted by: Ferg Mar 9 2007, 09:42 AM
If one 914 is great, two is greater right 
Bought this yesterday.
Now I need a shipper to get it here from vegas, wife said no way for a fly in and pick up on my part. 
It show's 38k miles, no rust, no factory undercoat (yeah!), one very nice respray in orig color.

Looks very nice except for the KYB shocks.

What happened Ferg?
Too much ridicule over on clubNARP, so now you posted it on the 'nice' board? 
Want to go on the Route 66 classic? We could drive it back then.
Ace is having a sale on blue tape this week.

Greg, I'd love to do Route 66 but i'm grounded.

....malaga red ?
nice looking car...my wife has given me the green light on a second 914, but mine will probably have much more rust.

Just wait it out Scott, one or the other will be for sale soon. He's a car dealer at heart.

Race car went to a local guy, Kelly. He's gonna do SCCA stuff with it this year, and i'm sure i'll talk him into showing up for some local stuff.
Shipper is going to pick it up monday, so I should have it by Thursday

Hey Ferg! At least you're sticking to Red! This is the 1.8 from Evilbay, right?
The seller rebuilds 914's... he has a (supposed) 73 2.0 in pieces that he is also selling as is. I would be interested to know if your Red one is really lo miles, or mostly rebuilt... I know you will be able to tell when you get to take it apart. Something in the pictures made me think it had been extensively "redone". Let us know when you get it!
I still miss my 73.5 911T!!! Have you ever heard how the fellow in Spain is getting on with it?

Actually it's a 2.0, and it's all original, nothing has been touched except one respray. He was selling the "project" 73, another club member got that already.
I won't know until I lay my hands on the car and look for all the tell tale signs if the miles are right or not. But the mechanic who just completed a engine out reseal and service says he would not doubt the miles one bit.
I did talk to the Santiago recently, he's loving the car and it made the trip across the pond without incident.

So now you'll have 2 914's taking permanent residence in the garage.
Posted by: 73Phoenix20 Mar 10 2007, 11:44 AM
Great to hear "Ol' Red" made it to Spain safely!
Check the seats in the 914... I think they were covered in the auction photos but, a corner of one showed plain grained vinyl...???... No waffle weave?

Okay, so I'm a little slow - what's the story with the blue "racer tape"?

Ferg likes to cover his cars in the stuff...just for fun...something to do.
Posted by: Ferg Mar 10 2007, 04:40 PM
The blue painter tape is for highway travel, like on the way to Moab...
sort of a temporary bra, don't use it on fresh paint or rattle canned rockers.

Should be the larger, flatter basket-weave. Same material as the door panels and dash face. Carpet looks right though!
Posted by: 73Phoenix20 Mar 10 2007, 06:41 PM
Proly some PO just wanted to "update" the interior look to a more Leather like appearance. The original basket weave is sort of dated... and there wasn't much in the way of padding in those seat cushions! I used to drive 9 hours from Ft Wayne, IN to Syracuse, NY, with one pit stop for fuel around Erie, PA, and I thought my a.. died by the time I got to the other end of the trip! Worst part was the section of interstate between Cleveland and the NY Thruway.
Anyhoo, one nice 914 2.0!!!
Posted by: Porsche Rescue Mar 10 2007, 07:14 PM
B. Johnson says late style basket weave for inserts in both '75 and '76. I once had a '75 and it had basket weave too. I think only smooth inserts in US cars was in '71. The seat looks recovered to me.
