Finally meeting the original owner of my 914 Options

[914Next]

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.

The original owner of my '74 2.0 lived in Massachusetts where she sold it to the second owner, Alan, who took it to New Mexico where it lived from '77-'05 when Oscar ( @ValcoOscar ) bought it for his wife, who later decided she wanted a Boxster. Oscar put it on ebay where I found it in Dec. '05 and drove it from SoCal to Seattle in Jan. '06.

I contacted Alan who filled in details about the engine and transmission rebuild he performed in '92. Periodically, he emails me to check up on the car. Just last week I was able to tell him that the car is running great and now only gets used on dry days.
