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….

I always loved the mid engine, 4 wheel disc brakes, 2 seat design. Back in the early 80’s I couldn’t afford a Pantera, so I found a wrecked 914, swapped out the 2.0 (sorry H4 guys) for a 2.6 Capri V6 with a inter-cooled Paxton blower,(couldn’t afford a -6 either). Been tinkering on 914 ever since then, on #2 since 2008. Met many gear heads who appreciate the 914 design, I appreciate the community with the feeling of the best P-car brotherhood around. It takes a special kind of mechanical nut job genius to keep our cars on the road.
