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 had a 70 914 when I was 20 it was under loved by me and sold it to build my first -6, kept the 75-6 for a while until having kids and only fitting one person in the car with me seemed silly . Loved that car but wasn’t practical. Had a 911 project at the time and turned that into a 3.2 ss turbo EFI monster. That was going to kill me if I kept it. Sold that for a 964 and got some cash back in the deal. Drove the 964 for a few years and was bored with it. Sold that and bought a 67 Camaro project. Worked on that for a year and lost steam sold that and built a cabin in the north woods. When I turned 40 it was time to build what I wanted and that was GT tribute. Did that 9 years ago and love the car. Had a 88 g50 911 and a 928s4 in that time and they were great but not what I wanted and the 914 is ultimately what I wanted
