Anyone Near Monterey, CA? Options

Aloha,

Just wondering if anyone is located near Monterey, CA. I'm in the military and will be stationed there next month and I'm interested in getting into a 914. Any help would be appreciated.

mahalos,

Hello all,

Well from what I've looked at with 914's I like the early cars. 73 and earlier is what I'd like to try and find. As far as engines, of course the 2.0 or the 914/6 would be cool, but I'm sure I'd end up tinkering with things and making it go fast no matter what engine it came with. But, yes I would prefer a 2.0 even if it does cost a bit more to get into one. I am willing to pay a bit more to get a clean driver to start out with.

I've had a lot of experience with aircooled VW's and the most important thing for me in purchasing a 914 is that the body be solid and that it has a good paint job. I'm helpless when it comes to bodywork, so that's a big thing for me in this search.

Thanks for those website links. I've already checked out some of them. I'll definitely have to get into contact with the Monterey PCA guys.

Neo914 - I'll actually be living in Salinas and commuting to the Presidio of Monterey to attend the DLI. Small world.

rdauenhauer - I think I've spoken with you on here before when I first joined this website. I'm going to the DLI for Chinese, I'm a 97E in the Army.

Thanks for all the replies. I guess its just up to me to find a car and have a Porsche guru check it out for me.

Mahalos,
Joel
