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….

Perhaps it's the humble beginnings for this car (setting aside LeMans), but I think "attitude" that makes a 914 owner. Not to precious, Teeners accept all forms from bone stock to hot rods. Fours, sixes, Subies, LS, Ferrari and yes, even applauding that Dylan Newport mod. 914 owners just love 'em all, and respect the work, especially when done by the owner. I can't believe the lengths some of your go to bring them back from the rust heap. I imagine you worked in body shops during you careers, but no, many of you just started small and learned from others on this forum. A 914 owner is inquisitive, resilient and helpful. Perhaps a bit twisted. But in a good way.
