Porsche "Nine One Four" 914, No Integrity Options

[frankiec@outrageous.net]

Thanks, that's great. I'm really looking for an early, no tits, bumper. The bumper I was offered had the tits and I figured it would hold me over till I found and earlier bumper. Sorry to differ, but good clean chrome, straight, no dents or rust bumper is extremely hard to find, tits or not. I'm 70yrs old and have been a car guy all my life. I've been looking for a decent bumper but the only one's that are available at this point are the new stainless bumpers at $1300 for a front. My car is a project and I'm trying to save dough so... let me know if you find anything. 1975 914 3.2, 911 suspension, lowered and getting close to the finish line and the cruiser is a 1962 356 Cab. w/65 SC engine and running gear.

Thanks for you time and thinking of me, Tom

Frankie, with the tits your limited to 73-74, unless you want to drill an early bumper ( ouch). I'll look and see if I have one when I get to my storage. Probably don't have the tits as I used the good ones for mine, but they are plentiful just post a wtb.... Dave

Thanks for the positive input. Maybe Cairo will sell me his and he can buy one of yours. And as all of this started with disinformation how can I trust you as I don't know you. Why would I want to do any on line buying from someone bragging about all the bumpers he has. I'm hearing Glenn here. You might not have any bumpers but just want to whine yourself. Go to Nine One Four for you parts.

Cairo, . You obviously don't know about 914 parts as a good early chrome front bumper is very rare.

And the OP scores another Dud response! Cairo knows what he speaks about.

That Bumper is not Rare, I think I have 3 of them. However, after all your Whining, I would never sell You one!

Wow dude, you're really out for this Glen guy. I responded to your thread on "The Bird" and now you're spreading the love over here. The guy was selling a bumper not pictures of a bumper. Doesn't sound like you're getting sympathy here either. No disrespect but just let it go!

Made an agreement with "Glenn @ Porsche "Nine One Four" 914 in LA. I'm in Norcal. Talked to him on the phone about a early chrome front bumper with tits for my 914 and he said he had one. He described it over the phone and I asked a couple of questions which he answered. He said he would email me some pics of the bumper the following day, Wed 1/20 and I would let him know right away if I wanted to buy it. I had a couple of more questions and called him this morning. He told me he sold the bumper yesterday and felt NO obligation to notify me that he had sold it. He also said he didn't know me so why should he trust me and didn't see any need to call me or send me an email. This person is running ads that rely on trust. Beware.

For what it's worth, I have been to Glenns shop looking for my first 914 a while back. I found him to be a stand up guy. He had a 914 in my price range, we drove to the gas station he put $10 in the tank, drove back to his shop and handed me the keys and said "drive it as long as you need when you come back we'll talk". I don't think a person with bad intentions would do that. He gave me a lot of good info about 914's. He also gave my a ride in one of the cars he's selling now which was awesome it is the turbo on Craigslist. So I think like madmax914, move on.

When I emailed a craigslist seller of a 914-6 to see if it was still for sale he replied he was busy answering many questions for two weeks about the car but still available. I drove 10 hrs. the next day with cash deposit.

Loving my 914-6 !

You lucky bastard.

If you are still looking for bumpers try Rengegade hybrids, they had newly chromed ones a while back.
