I saw this 914 convertible going the otherway, so I did a u-turn and tracked it down. Owner was already gone into one of the stores so I wasn't able to get any details. But I got a couple of pics with my cell phone.

I saw an ad or article somewhere years ago for an identical car, side vent and all. Correct, the side vent makes up for the lost airflow by blocking off the engine screen.
Way back when they still printed VW & Porsche, they did a feature on the Beach Boys Monterey that they build for the Parade. I recall reading that they used the factory windshield frame, but cut it at the base and slanted it back a few degrees to give it a more rakish appearance. That was one cool car back in the day. Speaking of VW&P, I remember reading another article where somebody supercharged a 2.0. Does anyone else remember that, or how it was done. I thought that I saved all of my old mags that were even remotely interesting, but I can't find that one. Ken |
