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….

In 1973 I was living as a 17 year old in Glenview IL. I went to the Kenilworth Porsche dealer in my mothers car to see the new 914s. I went with a few buddies.

In the show room there was a 2L 914 in metalic green. Prettiest car I have ever seen. Also, while we were there someone was in the middle of buying it - they rolled it out of the show room and started it - perhaps I was in a daze but is sounded smooth and powerful - no VW clanking sounds.......Loved it.

I was able to, the following year buy a beat up '70 1.7 - loved the car - had it for a couple of years... other than it not starting when it was below 10degrees......never figured that one out.

I am cleaning up my '70 914-6 right now, next car will be a green '74. Metalic, zero time all systems..........current dream......

My 70 1.7



70 914-6



My 74, all original, 24K miles - 3 years rebuilding - next to the 914-6
