Gorgeous car!

Don't know what you'll do with a third one, either, but the car probably won't complain. It's in good hands...

Looks mint !


Thanks, it wears its original paint, has lots of tiny blems but it's an "honest" car, neglected but unadulterated.

Paul


Very very nice...but not honest or unadulterated. Its had to endure a disingenuous life all these years. Someone bolted on the Fuchs later in life, not correct for a '71 914...I suspect you intend to put the steelies back on?



I put the Fuchs on for the ride home. The wheels need to be redone and will definitely go back on the car soon!

It came with steelies that need to be repainted. I have lots of work to do!
Formerly BS Chairman's car. I fell in love with it and had to take it home. What I'm gonna do with three of these car, I don't know!


Gary the BS Chairman from SMOG? The SMOG guys used to put on one of the biggest 914 events. That is a very nice car, congrats!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


Yep, THAT Gary!
I also got a mug to commemorate the glory days of the South Michigan group.

Really nice score Paul (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have a soft spot for Ivory '71, 1.7Ls as well ... although we're punching out to 1.9L (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)


Do you have enough garage space for the new one? ... winter's coming, ya know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)


Enough space? Unfortunately I have a pole barn and can probably accommodate another 2 or 3 cars!

Hi Paul,
Good 914, I know it well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
It should also have the tool kit in the trunk??

Don't think that's the original back bumper though- doesn't have the sharp edges on the bottom- shouldn't all '71's have the sharp edge bumper? Mine does. My '73 has the curved one.

The Dr. B Johnson book says the early bumper style is 1970 and doesn't really specify exactly when the change occurred...I think this rear bumper is correct on my car. And knowing how the factory used up old stock, it would not surprise me if some cars have a mid-year change.

Similarly, I have heard from two owners who had the waffle weave textured seats combined with the smooth door vinyl, just like my car.

Tom: yes, has the tool kit but missing the clip that pulls off the hubcaps.
Harpo: thanks, I'll sort the car out and it will be better than ever!

Pau;,
I agree 71's can have both.
BTW: Show us a picture of the tool kit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) So these guys know you got a good deal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Our '71 has a build date of January 1971. We bought it from the original owner, and it has the curved bumper.

You're probably right- my dad had a late '71 914 and his interior was completely different than my early '71. I don't remember the shape of his rear bumper- I have some pictures of his car somewhere but don't know if I have a good picture of the back end!

Yeah, they were famous for pulling parts off the rack when they built them making it tough for the concours judges to know what was really original!

Not only that, but a 'late' 1971 build date might indicate it was a 1972 MY (?)

IIRC, the factory started up the next years' models in August or September, after their summer break.

When I said late '71 I meant in the model year- my dad's car was made in 3/71 and mine in 9/70, so technically mine was a "late" /70!

It's probably a VW puller. If someone can post me a picture of one I've got a VW show and swap meet coming up at Englishtown Raceway Park October 16th. I'll see if I can find one there.
