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. Bob B |

In 1995 was in my 8th year of a on again off again relationship. We were only a one week away from getting married when I came to my senses and realized this was not going to work so I called off the wedding (and the relationship).
So after buying "us" a house, lost deposits, and other wedding expense you can't get back I was having a "poor me" moment. Always wanted a 911, but was not in the best $$ position to buy a nice used one (really wanted this 80 911SC) so decided I could afford a "newer" 944. Seen an ad for a 88 944 for sale and made arrangements to go look at it. When I got there this guy also had a black 73 914 2.0. I had no idea what they were. I asked if it was for sale also and was told "everything is for sale". I never even looked at the 944. I took the 914 for a drive and was hooked. Made the deal and the rest is history as they would say. |
