1. My 914 has super special, perfect OG German, ORIGINAL light bulbs and the one year only grey defroster vents… making it worth way more than what I just paid for it…I am so excited!

2. I dig the 914 so much, I cannot help myself…I HAVE to buy them all – because owning only one is not enough, and it’s a great opportunity to make boatloads of money

3. I don’t like the way my 914s inside door release levers work, so I am going to improve on them with infrared latch mechanisms and steering wheel controls – it will be easy-peasy and I can knock them out in no time…Then I can group buy them to all my friends…

Don't cut up your original wiring harness because they only made 113,000 of them...

My 914 had a turbo... until I removed the DAPO-applied sticker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
