Randy's 1974 914 2.0 Blog-O-Rama

New '74 2.0, Marathon Blue

First a little background story -

My other '74 2.0 was recently damaged when my next door neighbor backed into it in our parking lot. Short version is that they're insurance gave me a wad of cash for the repairs (which I'll do mostly myself) and instead I used the money to purchase Dug Wright's '74 914 2.0.

The "new" car is a real time capsule. Dug was only the second owner, and the original owner kept the car exceptionally maintained and held on to nearly all the service records. I've started to scan in all of the service sheets (most of which I won't bore you with), but here are some of the fun bits:

He had the stamp areas filled in three times each. The last entry was in '04 and shows over 300k documented miles! You'd never know it by looking or driving the car. More on that later.
