"know-alls" with "real" porsches got reason #8 wrong.

euro 1.8s? even one in the porsche museum to convince them.
bet they would still argue with you but.
always been my experience with em.
know more about my 914 than i do!!!
i just look at em with a blank smile when they start telling me about my own car.

i have a mate with a 76 911 he has had since new.
he still goes to porsche events wearing a FORD beanie on his head.
he has been doing it for years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


I read the article and scrolled down the thread just to make sure @wonkipop met his obligation. Well done sir lol! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

- rarest 914 of all after the various 6 factory specials.
if only i had the foresight in 1989 to go to germany instead of the USA and stashed 50 of them in a shed. i could try and whip up an internet value frenzy all these years later and cash in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) sure........... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

i guess to be fair to the "know alls" with the "real" porsches there were only 101 twin carb 1.8s made in 1975. very small number of cars. don't have a figure on the 74s as the engine was shared with euro 412s. its easy to find the 75 number - the only place the engine was used was in a 914. the engine number count goes to 101.
