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?”

I was fuched from the start!

BORN on 9/14.

First memories of car stuff, many. many 914s dad brought home for the weekend when he worked for Green Oaks.

First real car. 914

That car helped me win my wife 40 years ago.

Started my air-cooled experience. (not sure that's a positive!).

My entry "fee" into Datsun Z cars was that first 914.


And I absolutely LOVE taking larger prey with an underdog...

World's BEST chassis at the time it was built and for decades after.

And a change from yesteryears, this forum!

This place would have been DAMN helpful when I had that first car...

The internet was not available then!

Bunch more aftermarket support now as well!
