Original 71 914/4 made SoCal debut, at PCA OCR Doughnutz & Porsches - PIX Options

[Tom_T]

CORRECTION - it is a 71 914/4 1.7L One Owner since new with 60741 turning over as of Sat. am 4/17/10.
It's a CA 914 which has moved with him to VA & back to OC - some teaser pix below .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Where was everybody!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Not one SoCal Teener showed up!
But the taildragger & wasser-middies there LOVED it!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Okay SoCal CWs & other 914 folks, my buddy confirmed that he'll be bringing his one owner 1970 914/4 1.7L to the PCA OCR Doughnutz & Porsches at the Krispy Kreme at "The Block" mall in Orange CA (OC) this coming Sat. 4/17 at 8:30+/- am to whenever. It's open to all comers & even the public!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

This is the pristine 70 914 which I'd mentioned earlier as a prime candidate for the O&H nailed topic: "The few, the rare..." - with 62,0000+/- miles & always garaged & kept dealer showroom cond. for as long as I'd known him, up to when he moved away in the early 90's (I haven't seen it since then - but doubt that he's been any less perfectionist since then). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

According to him it's mildly modified with dealer options from first purchase by him - wood dash face, turned aluminum foot-rests, & an audio upgrade (his sons added disc changer in glove box, new speakers in the stock housings), and a recent engine/valves overhaul in OC (same case # & tranny #).

Look for an OE Red/Black 914 (don't recall what wheels), & a tall guy named Jerry - but he'll answer to "Mr. Perfect"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ..... he's going give me crap for letting that one out of the bag! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

- so come out & encourage him to get his pix on here & to CdE show this sucker!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Let's also get an overwhelming 914 turn out too, so we can show all those tail-draggers & water-pumpers (the true NARPs IMHO!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ) what's what!!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Directions:
Take your favorite freeway to either the I-405, I-5, SR-57 or SR-55 & SR-22 (Garden Grove/Orange Freeway) interchange - to the City Center/State College Blvd. North exit, go north & look for Krispy Kreme & The Block entrance off of City Center Dr., turn left & go to the parking lot area between the main mall entrance & Krispy Kreme with all the Porsches parked - you know the drill!

I'll be in a red 914 hoody from Johannes - as close as I can get to a 914 until mine is done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

wow, that looks almost like my 1st 914. a 1970 1.7L (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Tangerine with brown interior, and Empi wheels and 165s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
old scanned pic makes the car look red, but it was Tangerine

Dan - Jerry's 71 914 here is actually L30E Bahia Red - but my crappy cell phone camera makes it look Orange-ish. I use that because my good Canon 8MP camera does 1+MB on the lowest rez setting, & it's a PITA to crop everything to fit the max post size here.

However, here's one of his that I took far back for room to crop with the "good camera", which shows the beautiful & unfaded original red paint rendition more correctly!



The black upholstery is beautiful too, with a more realistic leather-look to the graining of the leatherette & pre-basketweave inserts (I think Pat's has it too), with a no crack/no blemish dash top pad! Also note the OE wife's purse on the floor! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)



Perfect original AG Loop Pile Carpet, Leather wrapped Steering wheel, Shift knob & boot (rubber then)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)



He also added the 914-6 Combo Fuel/OT Gauge back in the 70's to monitor the engine temp, but still has his OE Fuel gauge stored.
