I recently purchased a 72 914 in a big basket, but with a cherry body. I'm thinking of putting a subie engine in it , but I would like to take a look at one already completed. Any in the SF Bay Area that I could take a look at?
Been on different websites and seen some Renegade conversions but would like to see the real deal and find out how much aggro is really involved.
Email me at hansenjoel@yahoo.com or phone 415/516-8217 (cell). Thx. JH

Reliable?

I never drove my 914 before the conversion and after Crawford performance breathed on my setup, I bought a one-way ticket to San Diego, hitched a ride to Crawford and drove it 300+ miles through the Mojave desert in July - no issues. Drove it like I stole it for a month or so in 120 degree heat, then drove it to Ventura California for GAF then to Moab with the ONLY issue bieng that I scraped the bottom and bent my radiator hose clamps and restricted the coolant flow and ever so slightly overheated on the way to GAF.


Yea, I guess my car is not reliable after all...
