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.

Hey that was kinda neat the other day to see my thread back on the front page .
I didn't have any new pictures so I just got back a few minutes ago from taking some., These were taken from Cougar Mountain, looking out over Seattle, about five minutes from my house. Mr. Aderss: Yes the "Root Beer Barrel" is still in Issaquah, It's called the XXX Drive-in ( times have changed) lots of hot-rod & classic cars hang-out. Great Food! Mr. restore2seater: The seam sealer is available @ most autobody supply stores, I was going to buy some but the trick is the gunapplicator to apply it. I'll find out more for you if you like. Thanks for the nice comments, it was nice to here from you Mr. Root. I'm kinda going thru , withdrawls ( i guess that answers my original Hobby or addiction?) & am fantazing about a combo project with Rootwerks. Greenie Attached image(s) |
