I have the 914 I want.
It is a 73 2.0 liter original car. It is not perfect. It has original paint. It runs great and drives great... and quite honestly, it is the perfect car... at least for me. As I thought about this, I wondered about how many people really truly have the 914 that they want. So many seem to want something other than what they have... maybe a six, maybe a wide fendered car, maybe something with perfect paint, something modified, maybe something better than what they have... so how many are really satisfied with the car they have? If you are satisfied with the car you have, post it here and tell us why? |

The EXACT car I would have picked? Nah. I would have like a 73 2.0 litre but I got my 914 when I wasn't looking for one so I kind of had to take what I could get. I had wanted one since high school and in 2014 my friend inherited one that sat in a garage in Portland since 1990. At the time I owned a Volvo wagon that the same friend wanted me to sell him forever. It was a grey market 240 turbo. Really cool car but I paid $200 for the Volvo and drove it for almost 10 years so it seemed like a no-brainer.
The funny thing is I have an orange Manx style buggy that I've had since 1989. I didn't like the orange when I got that car but by the time my 914 arrived in tangerine I couldn't have asked for a better color. It has rust and a dent in the passenger door but it runs and it's mine! I put ATS classics on it so I could stare at something besides the dent in the door. My favorite wheels EVER. |
