We had the opportunity to buy this fairly original '71 914 recently. The car is fuel injected, complete and everything works, right down to the light between the seats and the bell when you open the door. The car is almost completely rust-free. We are looking forward to taking it back to original color (Gemini Blue) and doing the restoration.

We are hoping to finish it in time for next year's (2015) Octeenerfest., eventually. The primary goal is to drive it to the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2016, with my son. But, in the back of my mind I would still like to make a cross-country trip in a 914 someday. Maybe this is the car to do it in. I will post our progress here.
