What made you want to get a 914?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I will start.

I had friends with 911 and I got a 911. When I spun a bearing in my 73 911 my car was in the machine shop in Burbank, CA I went there for lunch on a regular basis.
One of the friends of the owner had a factory real 914-6 with a 3.0 in it. This was back in 1978 and this was not the norm for 914s

Well this friend gave me a ride back from the restaurant and I noted not only how his car seemed faster than my 911 but he was going around 50 miles per hour and he made a right turn. I thought we would crash but instead his car in Slot Like form just made the turn. Like on Rails like a fast ride in Disneyland.

After that I always wanted one. And when someone stole my 911, I got my first of many.

Oh I loved that game! Still have it on my laptop.

My 914 was my first car. I either wanted a 67 mustang or a 914. My dad was big into autox as we went about once a month and we would always go somewhere in his 944. I wanted something I could autox. Eventually through many years of saving I found a deal on ebay for a 914 near me. My dad and I went over to the guy and found out he had three of them, two at his appartment complex and one in storage. We made a deal of 1,050 for tthe three and limped mine home. The other 2 went to a friends place where we chopped one up for parts and gave another shell to the friend. I had a shed full of parts that I would slowly sell off to help fund other parts.
I was 14 when I bought my 914.
