Boy that sure looks like a really nice example of the 914.
She looks like she's lower than stock. It might be the tires.
Take good care of her.

2 things....
first, wow! nice car

second....you suck

Lovely!
Are you planning any changes?
I would suggest you replace the mirrors with the standard chrome type.
And also i would prefer the Aluminum door sill plates.
Very nice find, lets have more pics and details...

Very Nice car!! How's the A/C?

Posted by: jd74914 Mar 6 2008, 09:29 PM

Very nice! I realy like the color too. Is it original or has it been restored? There are some neat parts; I like the speaker in the console and cloth seat inserts.

BE careful if you go to replace those mirrors. The PO probably drilled separate holes to mount them. I don't think they fit on the stock mounts; mine didn't

Super nice car.

I do have the stock mirrors on order and should get them in the next day or two.
The car has been repainted but is the original color.
Thanks
Gary

I have the same mirrors on my 76 and had them painted to match the body color (white). They really pop.

I bought the sticker on Ebay.
Im sure its made for the other Porsche models, maybe late 70s or early 80s.

Even the license plate frame correctly reflects her heritage.

Is that Gerards car?

Edit: Or should I say "Was that Gerards car?"

Posted by: AZ914 Mar 7 2008, 11:21 AM

I was just going to ask that same thing! Looks like Gerards car (Phoenix).. I'm pretty sure he had A/C too.

Great car, congrats!!!

Posted by: mudfoot76 Mar 7 2008, 01:29 PM

That car is seriously hot

Posted by: gary beck Mar 7 2008, 01:44 PM

Yes, it was Gerards car.
Super nice guy.

Posted by: ericread Mar 7 2008, 02:31 PM

I really think Gerard meant for me to have that car, so let me know when you're done with it and I'll be glad to pick it up. Heck, I'll even give you $500.00 to cover the transportation expenses to Cali!

(Actually, I don't know who Gerard is/was, but what a great looking 914!!!)

Blus skies and green lights to ya
