Hi all. I was introduced to the world of 914's by my lovely girlfriend (soon to be fiance, but sshh). Her first car was 76 914. She sold it about 10 years ago and has been kicking herself since.

I came across a Craigslist ad for a '72 and the body looked to be in pretty good condition and the price wasn't bad (seemingly), so I talked her into letting me pick it up.

It's actually on its way to being towed to me now (it lived an hour and a half away). The owner said it's been sitting for at least a year when the starter went out.

I'm new to these cars completely, having grown up an old Chevy small-block guy, so I've already been reading through a ton of old and current threads on here to try to get up to speed.

I look forward to the journey! Thanks for the resources you've all provided through your forum posts.
