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? |

My first car many years ago was a Bugeye Sprite which I drove for 12 yrs. until the rust caused the passenger side door to fall off. Now many cars and years later I paid my Dad $1 (as original owner) in 2002 for his '73 914 which was in all original condition but needed some work after sitting for more than 10 yrs. It is certainly a hobby car, but because of the family history it will never be sold in my lifetime, at least not as long as I can still drive! That original condition is a blessing as well as a curse, I am committed to keeping "her"(named Dad's Mistress) in top running condition, she still has original factory Delphi Green paint on the battery tray! But she has been repainted on the exterior, the original clearcoat was peeling, and unfortunately she is a 1.7 L, but we get around OK. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
