After a 15 year hiatus I got me another 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) It is a 1973 1.7 L that now has a 2.1L in it (also came with the original 1.7 liter motor and original F.I.), and has very little rust on it.

This car was located about 800 miles away from where I live and I would not of purchased it without the help of fellow 914 club members. Specifically Wayne and Clay of Plano TX who did an excellent PPI for me. No way would I have taken the risk of investing the travel time and expense to purchase a car this far away from home. This is a great aspect of this club!

Anyway I will post some pics of the new car in a couple of days, and I am glad to be driving one of these cars again!

that color rocks!!!! congrats (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

Is it just me, or does it seem like there has been a rash of "hey I just got a 914!!"?

Cool trend I say (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

I was going to try and pick it up the week of MUSR but the seller wanted it sold a month ago. That helped out on the bargaining but no so much on me picking when I came and got it. Plus hauling the car back on Labor Day weekend may not have been so much fun.
I am sure it would have been fun to attend though!

Hey Robby, that would be cool. I have not seen any 914s running around town in years. What color is yours I'll keep a look out for it.

I think that we have about 30 or so cars registered.


In the past we have topped 40 cars.
