Hi People
I have had this conversation many times... usually its about my investment (car), and time, four year rebiuld, BUT I usually get compared to a Chevy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Think about it... Invest 20000$ in a 69 Chev convertable, and its worth how much today ?, invest 20000$ in a 74 914 targa, 2.0l, same question? Apples and oranges, two different cars, so is the 914 and Bug. At the age of 16 I bought my first Bug, I worked all summer on it, Cannary yellow, 1.6l, Exhaust, cam, carrbed. I used to get the tires to come loose going into 3rd gear. Had 3 Bugs in total, worked on lots of them. I love this car, I love my Porsche, not the same way. There was a time I siriously priced out a monster type 1 and adapter to put it in the 914 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Jake will sure agree with me when I say 2.0l were expensive to do right back then too. I think the deals availible today are much better, still pay huge $$$ but now things are even better. 12 years ago 3000$-4000$ was the going rate for a "real" rebiuld. My Koblesmtch (sp) were going for 1200$ 10 years ago. OOPPPPSSss got sidetracked... Porsche and VW ...Why not swap stuff, if it works...cool, back in the day, type1 powerplant was a great , dollar vs HP swap, but what always stopped me was origionalty, or the Porsche badge. Where I grew up you had to own a Bug before you moved up to a 914, it was an unritten law. When you had your Bug long anough to lite your smoke with the gas heater, you can start looking for a 914. Just my idle ramblings Peace Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rock_band.gif) |
