OT: My "new" bad weather vehichle, Drive the 914 most of the time, but it does snow up here Options

My son and I took a 221 mile drive to pick this little guy up, then drove down to visit CAMP914 for a while and drove it home.

Never missed a beat.

It now has all the break-in miles on a 2275 monster torque motor.

Full of 350lbs of gear and both of us (another 300lbs) it would still pull hard in 4th from 50mph and up.

Yes, those are 31 inch "mudders" on there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My 914 is pretty much all stock, so it drives nice, even sitting in traffic.....which I don't do very often. My daily commute is all backroads. I don't mind driving the 914 in the rain even, but if it's just pounding rain for days on end (which it does), it'll be nice to just leave the 914 in the garage and drive this instead.

Nice Find!

... plus your 914 is the same color combo as my 73 2L resto will be going back to - OE L80E & Beige interior. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've always loved the Squarebacks & almost bought one as a 2nd DD in the early 80's - but then divorce crap got in the way! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
They were the surfer-dub of choice outside of the Buses here in SoCal back in the day.

I do think you need bigger carbs - maybe twin Weber 40's or 44's, but then that probably leads to a different cam, which leads to .... well, you get the idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
