Fact: the 1st 2 VWs ever, were built in Dr. Porsches garage. I find the term NARP ridiculous, unless you apply it to non Porsche/VW powered conversions.

My point in using the term is to return the insult to a unknowing dimwit car jockey. The uppity A hole obviously doesn't realize that many of the auction attendees will likely be there because of the 914. Sure our cars are not worth 500k so his cut won't be the value of a new SUV but seriously.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
The guy told me unless you have a special 914 factory race car or something rare it's not the venue for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) |

Would a 914 Limousine be rare enough? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I think King George has his 916 listed for 450K so that won't even meet our "friends" criteria. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

I concur. Porsche and VW and even Audi shared a lot of parts to cut costs. People forget that the 356 was made with lots of VW parts. I hear those are kinda valuable.

Furthermore, the Type 4 engine in the 914 was not used in any VW car, but was based off the VW. And once the engine was assembled, the 2.0 was then further modified by Porsche, having their hands in it for the final say so (larger bore, etc. than the VW).

This is very tempting. Our survivor '73 2.0 was delivered today. Needs a few months of cleaning and detailing and then just may be perfect timing for Amelia Island. Five hour drive for us.

QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Oct 4 2014, 05:57 PM) QUOTE(naro914 @ Oct 4 2014, 04:50 PM) I disagree Rick....VERY FEW Porsches are worth over 500k. Are you saying that all <$500k Porsches are Not A Real Porsche? I'm saying I was dissed on the phone. The guy was a jerk. Unless your car is a special factory team race car or something rare your not really welcome there. It's a 914 event after all isn't it? Sorry, Rick, Amelia is NOT going to be a 914 show. The 914 is being honored, so enough of this NARP stuff, which means a few significant 914's will be in a special exhibit. I predict that a 914 WILL NOT win best of show. As far as RM is concerned, they do auction a couple of Porsches every year. expensive 356's, 911's, a 959 one year. They would certainly auction Georges' 916 if he was inclined to sell at auction. Auctions are all about money to the auction company. they get an additional 10% buyers premium, why would they settle for a 914 if it takes the place of a $500K car? |

If I can squirrel away enough in Sterling by that date, I may add a Gold Covered Jacuzzi. I had to boost the displacement the bit, so I hope George isn't too upset if I am invited to sell at auction.
I am still shoehorning the slightly modified Merlin 12 cylinder into the 914, and had to move the windshield and Bonneville single seat up to just behind the front valance. BUT, she really takes the wind in when the cruise is engaged (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)  I hope this one isn't considered a NARP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Oct 5 2014, 03:36 PM) QUOTE(John Jentz @ Oct 5 2014, 12:03 PM) QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Oct 4 2014, 05:57 PM) QUOTE(naro914 @ Oct 4 2014, 04:50 PM) I disagree Rick....VERY FEW Porsches are worth over 500k.
