What “really” makes you a 914 guy? Options

[raynekat]

My 1st Porsche was a 1976 orange 2.0 liter that I drove across the Atchafalaya basin freeway in Louisiana at 120 mph before my buddy got pulled over from a police chopper. Hehe. Took her to a couple of Porsche Parades. Autocrossed the heck out of her. Unfortunately, that car was a nightmare rust wise and bit the dust, but was my entry into the Porsche world.

I’ve had a few 911’s but ventured back into the 914 world with my 71 914 project that I shared here on 914 World. Spent way too much money on the car (way past 6 figures) but loved every second of it.


Still visit this forum all the time and watch the 914’s for sale on BaT religiously along with other websites.

Am I a “914 guy?”
Love you all….

Bought my first 914, a '74 2.2 liter 4 cylinder, in January 1998 following a house fire. Life is too short not to enjoy it. My wife and I immediately joined the local PCA chapter and became quite active. During many road trips, being constantly referred to as the VW, he gladly brought up the rear of the Porsche caravan. While the others in their 911's and 944's had their windows up and A/C on, we had our windows down, roof off and radio on listening to our 70's road music.

On our third car, a '72 Bahia Red 1.7 that now lives with the 2.2 from our first car, a set of steel GT flares and Jaguar Racing Green paint. After a long rest period in the garage I hope to bring it back to life and back on the road.
