Nice car. I especially dig the original paint on the interior.

i don't know what i like best; the awesome color (with absence of sail panels noted ( (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) ), the lack of horror in the hell hole, or the momo prototipo steering wheel.

the car is beautiful! more pics would be fine, and you will find that the members here don't mind shots of odd places... longs, engine bay, under the carpet, rear window seals, etc., etc., etc. they even tolerate pictures of dogs in the snow!

You folks crack me up! Thanks for the funny comments. Yes, I feel very lucky that my father kept the 914 in great condition.

Mr. Special K: I am looking at an Optima battery because of the internal spiral cell encased in gel design however the Optima website does not show a batttery model for the 914. Should I simply get an Optima battery that matches the original spec (12v 45AH)? Thanks!

very, very sweet. Congrats and welcome.

Now read this entire website so you can discover all the things you need to "fix" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif)

Just kidding, but beware once you start messin around with these cars, there is a really slippery slope out there. you'll be thinking about more hp, etc if your not careful.

enjoy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

Haven't posted here before, just joined up myself. I have to say if the car is in as good of shape as it looks in the pictures, you really have something special there. I wouldn't change a thing on it. Congrats.

Midtowner - the Optima (red top) model #34R is the one to use. The "R" designates reversed poles (-,+) so your cables will reach.

I looked at your pics again. Man, that's like a "time capsule car", no cracks in the dash or anything.......got a keeper there!!

Gorgeous car...I can hardly wait to see it.

I hope you will bring it out to one of our 9:14 club Bay Area Breakfasts real soon...we will bring mops and buckets to wipe up the drool....you bring guards to keep us away from it... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

There is a large contingent of 914 lovers nearby....

This is an unusual find, as general knowlege is that all 73 2.0L cars came with appearance and sport group accessory packages as standard fare...yours only has the sport group. I bet it was a special order car with by the first owner or the dealership.

Your car made my day and I needed a pick-me-up after todays job... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

A blast from the past!

She's a real beauty!

How much are you asking for your (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) ??

Look's to me like the only tool you'll need for awhile is a small screw driver to adjust the points once-in-a-while.
