I usually buy a couple 914’s a year as project cars. This year, I received this car in trade from an Oklahoma customer for work on his other car, an exceptionally nice ’70 we upgraded to ’73 2.0 specs.
This car had set disassembled for 15 years but is very solid with original paint (needs repaint) and many new parts. Copper is a fairly rare, 1 year only, and the white interior sets this car apart. Michael, who works with me in the shop says he wouldn’t take out the garbage in a car with white interior but I think it’s cool. Hop in it after it has set in the sun for a while and you would see what I mean. It also has dealer installed AC. I worked at a Porsche dealer in the 70’s and I HATED to chop up a brand new 914 to install AC. I’m not going to remove it on this one and I have already told Garold I will be coming to his August 10th cook out in an air conditioned 914. It is still a work in progress but there are a couple things I like about this car: it is one of very few 914’s I’ve owned that doesn’t leak a drop in the rain, and it doesn’t have a single rattle which is not so rare but very much enjoyed. It is also one of the 914’s that all the driver’s controls work as they should and it brings a smile every time I drive it. If you’re in the area, stop by and take it for a drive, even if it’s on a 100 degree day! Brad Attached image(s) |
