Hello all. I've been lurking here for some time and would like to introduce myself. Don't quite know the protocol - should I have put "Breaker 1 9" or something in the title? I'm working on a 1970 914.

You're showing your age (& mine) with the CB comment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This is a standard request for pics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) ... Bugsy Tom! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I guess its finally thawed out in the far northern reaches! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) PS - since your 914's VIN is 471... - it's a 1971 model year, despite a build date 11/70. Love to see pix, Good Buddy! BTW - I did have a CB in my 914 back in the day, but used one of those under dash black box adapters to allow me to use the radio antenna & not screw up the bodywork with another "big stick" CB antenna. In `88 the CB was moved to our Westy & is in it still! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

My 914 is indeed a '71. I knew that, can't explain why I typed 70 - the 0 and 1 are pretty far apart on the keyboard so I can't claim a typo. I'll get pics up. Just love this car - it's just such a blast to drive. 3rd gear above about 3500 rpm and everything is happy. I've got Jake working on a 2270 for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

Here's the only pic I could find that was worth posting. The bmw is in the way, but it shares the garage w/ the 914 so what the heck.

Well, the car is very stock. The engine will not be, but it still has the tail shift trans, Pedrinis, etc. I'll bring it to a World shindig some day... The bike is cool - very "agricultural" if you know what I mean. Just like the teener. It's the mojo in these machines we all love so much.

Yes - I devote an unhealthy amount of attention and thought to this car (except I don't intend on changing that) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
