For me mid-70's, I'm walking home from high school, this /6 with GT flair and the car was a rat rod in grey primer, it was on my home town main drag and the guy was honking on it. I actually didn't know it was a 914 till I saw a 914 with GT flairs up close a few years later.
It was pure sex, I was 13-14yrs/old, I probably went home and spanked one off to a car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

In 1971 I moved to Hermosa Beach from Gardena Ca. as I was fresh out of HS and a surfer dude and wanted to be near the waves. My apartment was in a duplex on First Place, one half block from Pacific Coast Highway. On one of my walking trips around the hood I strode by Vasek Polak Porsche (original location) to my surprise I saw a brand new 914-6 on the showroom floor, it was sitting right next to one of Vasek's race cars. I was floored, the 914 looked to me to be a direct descendent from the race car. Engine in the middle, the wheels of the car were way out on the corners of the car, the dimensions of the car were very similar to the race car. Wow I was smitten.... but then reality hit me as I saw the window sticker, to my recollection the car was $5400, a giant sum of money in 1971. At the time I was driving $300 volkswagen bugs. My thought at the time was OMG I will never be able to afford such an expensive car. That began my love for teeners.
