When I moved from Arizona to Seattle decades ago, someone told me my 1973 914 would just rust away up here. So I practically gave it away.
So sad. To have this car now.... On the other hand, I was lucky to have it on the desert mountain roads back then.   |

Wasn't Southwest Savings the bank the was taken over by the federal government over some scandal back in the late 1980's
I had a black 74 1.8 back then. It was a nice car but I sure don't miss it. In the summer time is was so hot inside it was miserable...could only really drive it at night. Where in AZ were you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) Yes, that's when banking scandals were a lot smaller than nowadays I guess. That photo would have been something like N 35th Ave & W Glendale Ave during my very long commute between Tempe and North Phoenix. Lots of miles, mountain roads, speeding tickets, and good times back then. I don't know if there's any point in having a 914 where I live now. Wayyy too hot during the day. Now when I visit I try to rent light colored cars. Hard to imagine driving a black car there. |

My 914 got lucky. The original owner purchased it in Seattle then moved to Phoenix 6 months later. Thankfully that move more then likely saved it from the scrap yard.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
