Today, I drove 8 hours round-trip to pick up the nicest original 914 I've EVER seen.


914 production ended in 1976, when I was in first grade at Surfside Elementary School in Satellite Beach, FL.

My first 914 was a 1971 that I obtained in 1987. At the tender age of 16, it was a rusty piece of shit.

Since then, I've seen cars that run the range from total crap to very very nice.

This one is the best. It will be fixed to that standard.


You want a COTM? This is IT.


It's an absolute time capsule. 30k ORIGINAL miles:

For those of us not familiar with this beauty, what's the story & more pix please! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also - what needs "fixed" to a standard? ...it looks pretty nice as is! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

It looks to me like a 70 914/4 due to the rear bumper (sharp lic. plate cut-out corners), but with Euro Tail light lenses & maybe housing too, added pass. side mirror (I'll adding one to my 73 2L resto too) & Fuchs 2L wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

So is this another of those anomaly Black 70 MY 914s???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
...black is a great color on these 914s! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Make sure to nominate it for the next round! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

This is the car that Mark purchased with 19K miles, after 25 years of storage. He disassembled it, repainted it and reassembled it.

It now has 30k miles. During the holidays, an idiot hit it in the driver's rear quarter. It's now at S9 to be put back perfectly.

That's really cool. I have a customer with a black 72 that he's owned since 75 (IIRC) and it's super original as well. Something about black cars I guess.

Looks great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

It's unbelievable. I have my neighbors in the complex AND 914 guys coming by to just stand and stare at it.

I'll post more pictures as the repairs commence.

One of my non-car-guy neighbors who knew the car was coming, looked at it and then said to me "man, that's tough".

He was referring to the standard to which that fender has to be fixed.




I had a meeting with my painter today after he saw the car. I said "It'll be as perfect as the other fender, or we will keep on doing it until it is". He said "that's going to take some time, but I understand".

That means it won't be original paint then? Sucks.

It would be cool to do a total photo shoot with high quality equipment and lighting.

At least they brought the car to the right place to be fixed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Would shrinking disk work on those tight creases around the door handle and just under the targa pillar?
