Good to hear. My "73 1.7 only has 48K miles on it. No brag, just fact.

Car looked ok, but nothing too special I thought.
Great color though. https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0821-488374/1973-porsche-914/ |

its an ornament.
fantastic that it still exists. but you can't drive it. not unless you are into spending your money before the world ends. i can think of bigger thrills for 70K than sitting on a chair staring at it. but it deserves to be preserved onward having said that ----- sadly. |

This is a great car, but it will probably never be a trip car or daily driver (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
We love our 73 1.7, body never touched with lots of usual rust, but full mechanical restoration. We drive it down 101 and 1 to SFO every couple of years. Best $12K (4k for car and 8k for mechanical restore) we have ever spent! Attached thumbnail(s)
