With any luck I'll be getting my '73 back from the body shop within the month, and I was considering getting a car cover for it. The car will be kept in the garage, so an all-weather cover is unnecessary. Ideally, I'd like to find a cover that is fitted to the car or fits fairly tightly.
Anyone here have any recommendations, or perhaps the opposite? |

I really like Cover King silver guard. I have had great luck and the fit is really good, not cheap though.

I have the same and can use it outside too, but is not waterproof. But for strictly indoors, try this - http://www.covercraft.com/cartlink/index.p...cl-tab-overview Form fitted, soft, not cheap but awesome product. |

California car cover came with mine & I like it. totally custom fit -you can tell its a 914 even with the cover on. mines not waterproof but they have several materials to choose from
can't remember what material mine is but it's <$200 full on water/weather proof maybe $300 or a little more good customer service too had mine on the car without the targa top on and my dog fell thru and tore it ccc first sent a free 1x1 sample piece that wasn't big enough to mend then I bought 1 sq yd which they had no problem with and even gave me some pointers about fixing it good cover good people ymmv |

If you just want a generic cover then ebay works.
For best prices on beautifully made custom covers give Steve Behnke at Murphy's Motoring a call. I have bought 3-4 covers from them and have been extremely satisfied. I Have a red cover for the 914 that is sort of a soft spandex cotton which fits like a glove. Perfect for garage storage. Steve will let you know pros and cons of various options. Steve Behnke" email is webtoes64@yahoo.com I think this phone is current but not sure (414) 529-8369 P.O. BOX 618 Greendale, Wisconsin 53129-0618 My only affiliation with them is as a satisfied customer. |
