I have exchanged emails with the original owner of my 914 a couple of times a year since I bought it in 2014. He had owned it for 41 years. He sold it to someone who sold it to me just 2-3 months later so Jim and I represent about 48 years of ownership.
Jim is a great guy who took amazing care of the car. He, his partner and son drove five hours from Minneapolis to our place in Ephraim WI. Had a great time chatting and going to dinner with them.  |

I met the original owner of my car in May 1973.
We were both in for service at the Dealership he bought my car from new, traded it when the Warranty was about to expire and bought a new 911. He was well known at the dealership because he didn't know which end of a screwdriver to hold and he constantly lost his car keys ,,,, They had a bunch of spare keys for the car at the Service Desk. They gave them to me when I was in there one day.. Nice enough guy..... I tried finding him again, but no luck..  |
