How many 914's do you have now, or how many at one time in life ?, I had two at one time, but one was good enough for me, personally. |

I know that before I got my conversion done, it was kinda cool having a "stock" engine in one car (sunburnt-copper-orange) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) , and then jumping into a rocketship right afterwards (this is a picture of the black 73' that the conversion parts came out of) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) !!! But I decided, as for me, that it was kinda overkill, when I could just focus on one, the way that I want it, so I got rid of the other. ..............Just curious, how many people have more than one 914 at this present time, and why. Most likely, you have one for racing and one as a daily driver, or one for a parts car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) How many, is the most you had at one time in life ? one ? two ? five? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
ADMINISTRATION......... I don't know how to add a poll for votes on this topic, can you add it please ?? |

Only 4 teeners for me!
I bought a yellow 73 2.0 in 1976. Loved he hell out of it but I wanted webbers! I spent about $3200 at that time for a rebuild by an outfit in Dallas that did lots of racing. Wow was that fun. Shortly there after I found a VW/Porsche magazing with the story of a 914 with the Chevy Z-28 V8 and he'd spent about the same money I had on the 4 banger. The 4 was putting out about 150HP and you had to wind it up... problem was the speed limits had been reduced to 55, I couldn't slow down and ended up loosing my license for the speeding tickets. 1981 I sold the car and the courts allowed me to get my license back so I vowed I'd build a V8 car. 1983 #2 was a silver '73 rust bucket with a bad 1.7... apart it came. 1984 I was about to put the engine in when my bride to be found me #3, a really nice Black 75 1.8 and talked me into spending the money. About that time we were talking a walk past a neighbor's garage and there was a burgundy 73 in his garage under a bunch of stuff. Straight, no rust and started right up after being in there for several years... $800 for #4. Someone wanted #2 with the 1.8! I sold #4 at a great profit and the money all went toward the Black V8. I'm still driving the V8! What a car, there ain't nothing like it. Never had a ticket in the black car, is there something about color? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Bruce |
