914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Found a photo of my '72 that was taken in '78
Posted by: Kansas 914 Aug 8 2008, 09:11 AM
I found this photo in a box of pictures this week.
The wire wheel hubcaps didn't last long and I ran with bare steelies for years.
Enjoy!

I think he was just telling us he "found" the picture. Said nothing about posting it.

the thread title has the little paper clip icon at the front, I always thought that meant there was a picture attached to the thread??

He said he took the pic right after he got it home......maybe it was really dark.

Great photo! While we're sharing photos, here's one of me and my 914. You'll notice that a topless Angelina Jolie is with me in the car. Enjoy!

Let me try this again........
I laugh everytime I see this picture.
Definitely one of those days!! It should be a good weekend though. My lift was delivered in the garage this week and will assemble it tomorrow.
I will try to post a photo of that as well!

Hi Paul,
Yep it is (was) a Pinto. Good eye - I bought the car (Pinto) from Bill Currie Ford on Dale Mabry in Tampa - I know you will know the dealer. It had the 2.0L - I added headers, Offy intake, Weber and custom paint by The Raven in Town and Country area. I used to go to Lakeland and AX the Pinto!
I lived in Tampa 34 years. I used to hang out at the Steak and Ale in TT back when they had live bands in them.

WOW what a blast from the past! I went to high school with Bill Curry's daughter. She drove a Mustang.
The Stake and Ale in TT has been about 10 different things, right now it is closed.
What part of town did you live?

I grew up in South Tampa (Palma Ceia area). My Mom still lives there on Bayshore. It is a lot different here in Kansas - but very easy to live here - except I haven't seen another 914 since I moved here in 2001. Consider yourself lucky to have a network of 914 owners nearby. I have made friends with 911 and Boxter owners - but they don't quite get the 914.......
Cheers!

Hopefully, you've lowered the front end by now.

Actually I raised the back end - I pulled the motor....
And I lost the "wire wheels".

I love to see the old pictures, thanks for sharing that. I've got some older pictures too but can't seem to find them, need to dig around a bit. Cheers
