(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/owned.gif) Just curious..... What members have owned their 914's for the longest time continually?
As a benchmark, I've owned mine since August 1972. |

I bought mine new in 1973. Drove it for about 18 years, about 185,000 miles on original engine. Only replaced 1 fuel injector. It still has original heads, etc. I was left stranded by this caronly once during all these miles- fuel line leak that I fixed and then drove it home.
I parked it because someone broke the front windshield, and I had 4 children and had no time for reworking the car. By that time almost everything had worn out. Unfortunately, I left it outside the last many years, and the back window leaked and water entered and rusted the floorboard and lower firewalls. I am now replacing those, and plan to put the car back together as a daily driver, now that my kids are almost gone and I don't need a minivan. Just got some new sheet metal from Restoration Designs. Great people to work with. Now putting car on rotassirie I build from AA plans. Hope to be driving this summer. Joe O. |
