Maybe you knew of a specific car or you were just wishing one would hit the market that checked the right boxes for you.
What's your story? I know I'm not the only one who loves a good car story! |

Didn't have to wait long for mine.
In 1970, I was sent by the US Army to work at the post engineers in Stuttgart Zuffenhausen. At the time,I was driving a corvair but a guy in the office had a 911 so I decided I wanted a Porsche. Went to the Porsche dealer in Stuttgart and they had six 914/6s on their lot. They were dealer demonstrator cars returned to the factory for sale and cost DM 13,000 which was about the price of a new 914/4. A new 914/6 cost DM 20,000. I picked one with the color I liked but was too dumb to get one without rust underneath the battery. Ran it hard for 3 years and then moved on to a 911. Attached are some pictures. |
