Hi everyone.

I just bought my first 914 (I'm a 911 guy)

Its a 1975 914 2.0 Laguna Blue.
it has 139k miles,all books and records and I am the 3rd owner.

It had a bad fuel pump relay,luckily.or the very bad gas in the tank may have been pumped thru....

I have the tank out being cleaned,while I wait for new fuel hose,filters and misc parts.

heres a pic as found,a real "Car-Port Find"Attached Image Attached Image

Welcome to the 1975 Laguna Blue club! I have a 1.8 in the same color. Looks like a great find! Check out that battery tray! Glad you are changing the fuel hoses...that's the most important thing if it's been sitting a while. Keep us posted!

Please tell me that it has plaid seats under the sheepskin! I also have a '75 1.8 in laguna blue, in nearly the condition of yours. Mine came with plaid seats that were recovered long ago, and I would really love to see what the originals look like. Nobody has ever been able to produce a picture.

Thanks,
Ken

Hey check it out...rear window defroster! Cool. Is that a 1980's Sony stereo in there? mine had the same style in it when I bought it...looks like based on your paperwork you need to start trolling for a Blaupunkt 1071! Unless the owner still had it and included it as well.

Excellent find, and my favorite 914 color! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

My first 914 was a '75 in Laguna Blue with white interior.

Add me to the list of people who would love to see what's under those seat covers.

Congratulations on your nice score. That looks like it will be fun (as opposed to aggravating) project. Get a compression test to see how much life is left in that 2.0.

Looks like you found a solid 914 to bring back to its glory...nice find. The only thing that majorily looks wrong is the absence of rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
