OK - let's liven things up some folks now that the Guru is enjoying his twilight years with Fritz or Franz or whoever that loose German is!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
... Garsh - I wonder if his wife knows she has competition!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Okay - so first of all, we have someone over on Wheels & Tires asking for paint advise to restore his wheels on a 75 2.0, but we need him to load up some pix ~ then those with that type of wheel chime in with what you know to help this poor guy out! Plug #1 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) #2 - I'll post some interesting vintage 914 related ad which I've found online or somewhere & I'll follow later on with others, but you guys & gals need to hop in here in post some that you've found. Make it fun & interesting, & if it has prices from "back in the day" - all the better to drown our sorrows for today's outrageous prices. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Jeff - I know that you have a collection of fun stuff, so jump in here Mr. Bowlsby! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) By the way - if he has the time & interest, I think Jeff Bowlsby would be an excellent moderator here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .... he taught me everything I know (almost)!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Okay - here's a great ad for the Vintage Dunlop SP57 Tires which used to be one of the main OEM tires delivered from the factory on 911s & 914s back in the 1970's. It looks like they used something like Matchbook Cars for the ad, since they didn't really have easy Photoshop back then, but you could do similar stuff with actual paste-ups. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Judging by the file name on this one, credit goes to Mr. Bowlsby for finding it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Here's a snippet from a 1973 road test noting the 165HR15 Dunlop SP57's on the then "new" 914-2.0 or "914S" .... . Come on - who's next!!??

Has anyone ever seen (first hand) the special luggage set designed for the 914? Perry - there were different styles over the years as I recall. I've only seen some of these at Jeff Bowlsby's website, but a buddy of mine back in the 70's got a set for his beloved 911 & couldn't put them in the trunk - just like in the 1st ad, but in the maroon! I offered to take them off his hands since they'd fit fine in my 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .... IIRC they came in this grey, Porsche's maroon, red, black & maybe white or tan, & the Flower Child patterns of the bottom pic. Porsche was playing around with a lot of early name/logo franchising to boost revenue, but didn't charge a lot nor keep control over much of it - as compared to today. Also note "F" above - well we all know how well that worked out in our 914s!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . . Here's another set on the most useless 914 Accessory IMHO ~ I mean who needs a luggage rack when you have 2 trunks with 16.5 cu. ft.!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... I mean really, have the "old lady" pack less! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . . Why do I feel like I'll pay for that one!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ... yes dear.....what?
