Hola lads!
Life has been busy the past few years and since the sale of my last 914 a couple of years ago, I'm still 914-less. I'm sure I'll get another one as I always keep my eyes open. Just hasn't happened quite yet. I'd like to purchase one of my old 914's back which makes it a little harder. If anyone knows of the whereabouts of any of my old 914's, drop me a line. I spend more time flying than I do driving these days: Attached thumbnail(s) |

My last 914-4 with "H" 5th, probably one of my favorites:

The "Steel Top" 914-6 which I figure I'll never get:

I did let the Puma go:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znY6OdGPRWU I put in a 2275 which made it pretty quick, but not matter what, it always felt like a "kit" car. Good quality, but the fit and finish was nothing close to a true production car. Attached image(s) |

I know of a Signal Orange 20 min from me you sold to a guy named Randy years ago. Had a 2.4 six in it. Although he sold the motor & bought a 3.0. Hasn't made much progress getting it installed. Rebuilding the motor & just needs to finish putting back together. I think he has the bottom end done. Heads are machined & ready. Just hasn't touched it in 6 years. I can certainly get you his # if you want to talk to him. He has a bunch of nice parts he has picked up for it. Full 5lug conversion sitting there in parts. Roller ball suspension. He had gt flares but I bought those from him years ago.
I also have a complete 75 with a 1.8 I'd work with you on. It's Laguna Blue but does have a little hell hole. Especially if you brought your welder down & helped me replace the firewall in my v8 roller. Just the cutout from the buick motor. There is a 3ft section in the firewall cutout (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) . |

That 2.4 was a really, really good engine and I liked the sleeper look of a non-flared, steelie 914-4 look. I will admit, I have zero time for a project. I will be looking for something "done". |
