I have long been coveting a nice California "rust free" '73 2.0 with FI. After several weeks of waiting I am concluding the deal to buy Lew's 914. As you may remember from the classifieds ad, Lew (whom I never met, unfortunately) passed away last spring. With the help of Kent (and Ethan) I am now the proud new owner.
To top it off, I am planning a big adventure! In early January I plan to fly to California and drive the car back across the country. I have never driven across country before...let alone in a 40 year old car! I'll share more details as they get more defined and as time gets closer. In the meantime, here is the picture of the car with Lew. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i268.photobucket.com-12871-1355242344.1.jpg) |

Maybe I should drive you out there in Betsy and follow you back just to make sure the car makes it alright. Don't worry about the snow. I drove Christine to Kansas and back in February on an untested motor and it was a small blizzard when I left. However, that was only 1628 miles and not 2500. I did do LA and back in one weekend when I went and picked up my LE and dropped one off that I had sold. Made for a very tiring weekend.

You should buy a car out in California and we can drive back together! Then, you can put the engine from Christine in it and sell it as an awesome 2056! |

I have 2 rust free '73s and a rusty '74LE and a very rusty '73 named Christine. Hopefully my next Porsche purchase will be an '87 or '88 911. I have already bought 3 from California and Christine was one of them. |
