We are writing a story for the magazine about the top 914s of all time. Maybe it will be a Top 10. Maybe a Top 20. Either way we want to include the best of the best. Street. Race. Original. Whatever.
Nominations anybody? Please include as much information as possible. If it is a 914world member's car, their username would be helpful. Anything we can use to contact the owner. |

One will have to go eventually. |
