As you might have seen elsewhere on this site and others, I just bought my fourth 914, this time a well preserved 1974 Olympic Blue, that has been in storage for over 20 years.
So first, this is an open invite for anyone near La Quinta CA to come by and see it anytime you like. And second, a call out for any advice or help to put this car back to dealer showroom condition. Also, what shows I should consider entering once she is complete. One of my first dilemnas is the side stripes. Were these dealer added? or factory? Should I leave the slightly worn originals in place?, replace them with repros, or remove altogether?? Randy |

Note item "D" in the Porsche+Audi dealer "official Porsche" accessories brochure -
IMHO - it's pretty hard to say that a 914 is not original in it's fitment, if someone has the sidestripes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Also note in my prior post that the positive sidestripes were used on early 74 MY 914s, until such time as the 74 MY 914-2.0 LE's negative sidestripes came out in Spring of 74, & thereafter the had negative ones. Although I know that you could still get either from the dealers back in the day (at least here in SoCal - LA & OC), even after the negative ones came out. BTW - your new Oly. Blue one looks schweeet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Join PCA if you're not a member already, then you'll have many CdE show opportunities over there in the Coachella Vally & Indland Empire, as well as over here "on the other side of the hill" in OC, LA & San Diego Counties for Zone 8. Being SoCal - there are a lot of nice Porsches, but we need to give those dang taildraggers a run for their money in the CW world! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Then IIRC the Parade is in Salt Lake City for 2011. Hope this helps re. the sidestripes. Keep asking if anything else comes up!
