Hello all - Just wanted to introduce myself and say what a great site you've built...as well as rid myself of the "Lurker" stigma (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I'm from Maryland and actively looking for my 3rd 914...last one I owned was 20 years ago. My two previous were both 73 2.0's and were nice...for a poor kid in his 5th year of a 4 year degree (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) I'm 20 years older and never lost my affection for these wonderful cars. Unfortunately it seems that most all remaining 914's have relocated to the west coast which makes finding the right one, and acting on it timely, all that more challenging. The journey is half the fun...right? I've already met several very helpful folks in the classified forum and from the post I 've read they seem to be everywhere. Anyway, great site and I look forward to engaging more as my journey progresses. Bill

You are lucky to live in MD as there are some very cool and knowledgeable people there. Look up plas76targa (Matt) in Fredrick, Type47, and Crash914 to name only a few. They are all over and some even know where the bodies, er, 914s for sale are. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Keep looking and investigatiog. There are some good deals out there. Just beware of the RUST ISSUES. They can be daunting. Check out camp 914 web site. CAMP914.com. Craig usually has some nice cars and he would probably be a good one to talk to about finding a nice car. Tom |

Hey Bill, where about in MD are you? I commute from York PA to Baltimore daily.
Set your region association to Mid Atlantic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Zach |

Bill - since Porsche sold about 40% of all of them in CA, they're still are more survivors out here. But don't believe the "rust free" myth - check them all everywhere, as they can get rust anywhere, as I'm finding out digging into my 73 2.0 which I've owned since Dec. 75 & was on blocks in my dry SoCal garage for the past 25 years.

Bill, Welcome to the forum, but it's much more than a forum, it's a community as I'm sure you know by now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
There's a nice contingent of 914 owners and supporters in the Mid-Atlantic region. Looking forward to meeting you. (There are five Porsches on my short street alone, 3 of them being 914's and no, I don't own all of them!) |
