 My Porsche fascination began back in the early 70's racing 917 Can Am slot cars in the basement of my house when I was 7 or 8 yrs old...When I was Freshman in college (1982-83)I began a searching for a 912. I couldn't find one in my price range. I met a woman taking some college courses and after studying on campus one evening I walked her out to her car. When when she stopped at a yellow 914 with For Sale sign in the back window I said "is this yours?" She replied..."no it belongs to my husband...he bought it new in 1975 at the dealer in Sarasota, FL. and he just ordered a new 911SC so this is up for sale". I asked her for the price and she told me she would have to let me know the next day. Within three days I purchased the car for $4750.00 with a loan from my dad. I drove it for a the balance of my college years at the University of Florida. Much fun...many autocrosses and few DE's with PCA. The car sat on jackstands in my aunts garage from 1988 until 2001. It had battery tray rot and needed an inner wheelhouse, rear floor pan etc. I began working on its restoration. About two years ago I decided to convert it to a six after picking up a motor and many conversion pieces from a guy who had planned to convert his 75 914 to a six...Within about a month I found out that another local guy here in Orlando by the name of Rick purchased the 75 roller from Jim.. the guy I bought the conversion bits from. After meeting him through PM on this site he told me he planned to convert the roller to a six as well ! The world of 914's is crazy...Here are a few pics of the car. I will begin posting more as the project progresses. Today I rough installed the RJ bulkhead mount. |
