Hi guys,
The local Porsche chapter of the Space Coast had our monthly KK yesterday. Out of 16 cars that showed for the Coffee and what ever at the Panera across from Daytona speedway, 4 were 914s. Now that on its own is pretty cool, but one of the 914s is a Bumble Bee that had been in storage for the past 40 years. Its second and present owner purchased the car in 1975. In 1978 he started to do some work on it and then life interfered and he never got a chance to finish it. With the help of one of the members and a local shop the car was made road worthy again and it attended our KK. The white 914 in the photo is also an LE (Creamsicle). But unlike the Bumble Bee it is extensively modified. One thing that caught my eye with this Bumble Bee was the outside mirror. It is not like on my 74, it is an early mirror (see photos). Any one see this before? If all this 914 overload was not enough, when I went inside to get some breakfast my total bill came to $9.14. Coincidence or an omen? You decide. Sorry about some of the photos not being oriented correctly. I can't seem to fix it. LE air dam is broken so an aftermarket unit is fitted. Other than that it is a very original car. This is the mirror I am talking about. The present owner who has owned the car since 75 never changed the mirror, and ne bought the car from a Porsche dealer. |
