Michelle and I picked up our new to us 914-6 over the weekend. We practiced social distancing and kept safe. Two days home, 920 miles, the 914 never missed a beat.

Here's a picture at a rest stop about 30% of the way home.

The engine is a 2.7 with CIS, Aluminum case, 993 cam towers and cams with hydro lifters. Seat of the pants has me thinking around 180hp.

The paint sucks.

BUT, I don't care, it's a solid 914 with about 3 Mayco paint jobs slathered over the original Anacona Blue. I originally thought I wouldn't repaint for a year or so, but that I won't make it that long. This thing needs to be stripped and painted correctly.
