914's in Oklahoma!?, any owners nearby? Options

[nick73-914]

We all love working on our teeners, but it's definitely more fun with company! Are there any 914 owner's in Oklahoma? I've driven over a good part of the state the last few years and haven't seen one.. Hopefully there are some in hiding nearby (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I live in the Tulsa area... Hit me up!

I live in downtown OKC and have an orange 73 in pieces, I also have a friend with a white 2.0... I want to meet up and see some teeners soon

I have never actually even driven one including my own which I bought barely running haha but I am about to install a harness and some more parts... if anybody has any parts let me know...

Awesome man...keep on working on it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I actually have 73 that I am planning on selling or parting out soon after I get me new 914 delivered to me tomorrow! Shoot me a PM if you want to come and look at it for parts that you might need. It is a 2.0 FI engine. It is a complete car with an extra left front fender to weld on cuz it had a bit of an accident a long time ago.

I thought you had that car up and running?

If you are talking about my car which I am pretty sure you are. I did have it running about a year ago and it was idling too high. Also I got the 914 tech tips book in and started reading it. It told me I had the wrong injectors in it which were what were in the engine when I got it. I think they go to a 1.7? But I actually decided that it would take too much money and time to restore the car to where I wanted it to be and since I was getting some extra money from the military by being deployed and by re enlisting over seas, I new I could afford a car that is complete and all I have to is upgrade what I want to upgrade when I can.

If you have that one running, maybe we should tweak it a bit for you and sell it whole. It'd be better to let someone put it back on the road than chop it up. Unless it has irreparable damage, of course...

Parting will take more time and effort but would probably net you more $$$. Selling her to someone as a 'project' will get the cash in a lump as opposed to $50 here, $75 there...

I understand what you are saying and I have definitely thought about that. I have been bouncing it around in my head a lot. Honestly tweeaking it isn't going to get it running until we get the correct fuel injectors into the car.

James, try Otto's in Venice CA for some NOS "green top" 2.0 injectors - http://www.ottosvenice.com/ - then call him - cuz he's an even crustier old fart than me & doesn't answer his emails. He found a stash of them on a shelf in his shop earlier this year & posted FS on here, but have no idea if he has any left. I got a set of 4 for my resto 73 2L, but they'll set you back $150 a piece - but they're NLA now even from Bosch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Otherwise, take up Shoe's offer on the used ones.

IMHO - save the 73 2L for a project for someone else to take on, rather than cutting it up. Other than the 914-6's, the 73-74 2.0's are the best & most collectible & IMHO - most fun driving - but then I prejudiced having owned my 73 2L since Dec. 75.

BTW - if this is your first summer in OK - what Curtis is saying about the Talimina Run in July is correct - you'll be peeling yourself off the seats at every stop! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Even from CA (now), I know because of school schedules for our kids & when we need to be in the Sallisaw area every year & to visit in-laws in Little Rock - we go back at the end of Aug./Labor Day time, but other Fall & Spring runs would be far more pleasant (& are when I go for business).

There's a guy with a yellow 914 in/near Waggoner on here, who was looking for other Teeners to do a regular Tenkiller Loop with local Teeners. Y'all should look him up - sorry the "half-zymers" is kicked in & don't recall his "handle" here nor name & he may be the one A&P saw in Tahlequah? Maybe start or finish at the Cookson Smokehouse for eats? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Chad - I've got your long time store beat by 1 year! Mine went into my garage 5/85 when she was hit in a UCLA parking structure while I was in MBA classes out here, by a ditz who "...forgot to turn left to go up the ramp...." (her words) - pushing 'er into the concrete wall/column & thereby mashing both ends, which was just after completing a $6500+ rolling resto 80-83 ($20+k today)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

So now I'm in the process of spending way more than she's worth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) to get 'er resto'd/rusto'd to original L80E & fixed up & running again, now that my kids are grown & while I can still enjoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

BTW - they continue to rust even in storage - just go pull the engine firewall pad & look at the bottom where it holds the moisture to do its dirty deed! Take it from me with a freshly restored, then whacked & put on blocks in my dry SoCal garage for 25 years - what you can't see CAN hurt you! So get on yours ASAP!

Curt - glad to know there's a good 914 shop in Tulsa, since I do plan to drive mine back at least once after the resto is complete & kinks worked out (may go to Indy where other family is too).

I'll be in the NE OK area for my annual sojourn at the end of Aug/Labor Day & again around 4th Sat. in Oct. (fly & rent), but if I can open time I'd love to join in if anything 914 is going on - even just to eat & shoot the S! I may also try to catch a Tulsa Rugby match in the Fall if any then.

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

Thanks. I actually had some one come and look at it today with his son. They said they are interested. We will just have to see. I might have to take hot shoe up on that offer. It would help the sale a bit. I would love to possibly meet and shoot the S and drink a couple of beers! That would be great. Just give me shout on the site when you doing it.
