Car is going to Hershey on April 22nd, weather permitting. It will probably be trailered since there are many more mechanical items to be sorted out in time. Besides we are looking for many items at the swap to proceed with the resurrection and need the tow vehicle pickup to carry everything back.

So Jon, if you plan on going to Hershey, chances are your car will be there. We will be taking pictures of the event and posting.

I have not been there but is it the type of venue where a random person would come up and offer to buy your car?

I hope not. I want it back someday. Hopefully this guy fixes it up nicely and the day he sells it he calls me.

Orange and Green cars would look good next to each other in the garage.

Good thing because it would probably be your new bedroom decor when the wife kicked you out of the house for buying another Porsche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

I seriously hope that, if this 914 is to be sold, Jon would be given first right to buy the car back at fair market value. Sure, it may not be the new owner's responsibility to do so, but it sure seems like the right thing to do among car enthusiasts...

Wow, I don't post for a while and the conjecture talk is at full throttle!

The car is NOT for sale. The car was NOT purchase to flip. If is ever was put on the block Jon would have the first right of refusal. This has all been explained earlier and is not going to change.

It was my suggestion to have "Popeye" my friend bring the car to Hershey to see if what he purchased parts wise would fit his needs and the car. Trailering assured that it would make it, as there are still some issues that need to be addressed before taking a 2 hour drive. Of course the weather did not cooperate. Anyway, Popeye bought about $600 worth of parts including a rear valance which he intends to modify to fit around the custom exhaust.

Other items on the list to address are new tires, repack all the wheel bearings and some wiring issues. Once these are done then some serious road testing will determine if more mechanical issues need to be addressed.

I have a video of the car on the road for the first time in God knows how long. I could not upload the file. I've done tons of pictures on World but, it wouldn't take the video file. Any suggestions on how to post?

Hooray, he's back!

We heard going to Hershey and thought the worst..since most of us buy parts and bring them back...only to learn they don't work/fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Never thought about trailering to check at the actual parts event.

Good work, and good luck on finishing it up!

I'm not sure how to post video in the document so, here is the link showing the 914 back on the road. There is still much work to be done but, the motor and trans are okay.
