First off a big thanks to all the folks that created the " 914 Club" I discovered this site about a month after I bought my car. What a fantastic motivator & sometimes just a big freakin waste of time, I just have to check into the garage to see whats going on everyday.
I've always loved Porches & thought that 914's were such funky cool cars ,looked at lot's over the years but never found one without some major issues. And then last summer my son found this car in Portland. The lady selling had owned it since "77" & was moving to a houseboat & didn't want to leave it outside. "74" 2.0, 32,000 Miles, Perfect Interior , driven 2,000 miles since '88' 100% stock except exhaust. Talked my wife & son into driving to Oregon on our anniversary. I bought it on the spot. The drive back with my son to Seattle was one of the funnest days of my life, throttle sticking open @ 3K most of the trip, dash lights going out at night thru tacoma , a real adventure.

Thanks for the kind words! I really felt good after the swap meet with the reactions I recieved., before it I was just the nut working in the garage at all hours.
My dad died 1 1/2 years ago. We sold off twenty project cars , I guess it just took a few years for it to come to the surface. This car has just been a total pleasure for me. Never before have I enjoyed working on cars, I always had to use them for transportation. It's different when you do it for the love of it. I've learned alot about the car but also a lot more about myself. Once you get going and you decide you want to do it right , you just can't back off. More pics to follow in a couple of days. |
