Hello 86Turbo,

Where are you hiding that thing? I was pleasantly surprised to see the Jefferson County plates in the first pic. There are a few others around here, not many.

I live near Seneca Park, I have a completely disassembled 1.7 1970, waiting for an opening at Cliffords to get painted.

Thanks for the welcome guy's. I bought it out of NC and the person drove it to Knoxville where he met up with us and I drove it home here to Louisville,KY. It's been pretty reliable with a few little issues that I am still sorting out but all in all a fun project. The colors grow on you after a while but I may eventually paint it but, who knows I kind of enjoy being able to leave it in a parking lot and not worry too much. Anyone else close to me? I see one person so far and if so we should have a get together sometime,nothing formal but maybe some garage talk and some kind of dead animal to chew on.......Ben

Great car, but can I have the building with the nice tile floor? So much space and so much to do!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Nice looking '75 with back-dated bumpers. The only way to go. Good luck and have fun.

I like it it's different but not over done. Never saw that color before is it olive brown?
The cars are really a lot of fun. Top off is even more fun, but the other really neat thing is the free member ship in 914 World. More info then you'll ever need and you can really learn everything about our Porsche Teeners.
