I may have finally sold the 914. I will be looking at a '69 Ossi blue 912 this Friday or Saturday, and if things check out, I do believe the 914 will head off to its new home. It is being sold to a friend, with the guarantee that it will either be sold back to myself, or sold to another good friend, until I have a stable enough life to purchase it back.
The car is a matching numbers 912, almost zero rust, one owner, 82,000 original miles, and full service records since new. No, I won't feel any guilt converting it to a 912-6, as My dream car has always been a 1969 911S. Still not sure what to think about the thought of not seeing the 914 every day, but I can't afford to have both, and have wanted to get into 911/912's for a long time. Now to find a cheap 2.0/2.2L 6 and make the conversion, and a set of cheap 15x6 fuchs.. I certainly won't be saying goodbye to the 914 community, as I'm still taking care of my dad's car, but I may be even less active than I have been, due to my hectic school schedule.. Gratuitous Pictures...

Well, you certainly built a beautiful 914 that most anyone would be proud to own, including me...
As for the 912, wow. I typically don't side with the originality crowd, but if the car is as good as she looks in the pictures, well, I'd have to start reconsidering. However I'll stick to my guns, cars are made to be driven and enjoyed, and undoubtedly you'll do another great job with the 912. But you might want to consider building up the four... Keep us informed. |
