914 stories Options

[Ace Le Count]

Does anyone have some crazy 914 stories that they'd like to share? Maybe your son/daughter was born in one? Maybe you drag raced someone that was getting cocky because they thought their riced out civic was faster? Maybe you used a 914 as a getaway car after you robbed a bank? How has your 914 saved the day?

In 1977 I bought my 1970 914 from the original owner when I was 22 years old. Loved it and put it away every winter and drove some old shitbox VW bug. Put a 2.0 engine in and all kinds of other work. In 1986 after our son was born I sold the car so my wife wouldn't have to go back to work. I sold it to a guy I some what became friends with and stayed in touch with. 2006 when I turned 50 my wife tracked down the car, my friend had sold it to his dentist on the other side of the state. The dentist was in the midst of restoring it, new crate motor, all new brakes, suspension and steering. She convinced him to sell it to her, she arranged to have it shipped to our house so one day I come home and there is my 914 that I haven't seen in 20 years sitting in the driveway with a big bow on it. They are both keepers!
