I'm back in the 914 world after more than 35 years!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I am the lucky winner of The car known as the Screamcicle and probably several other names. It was originally built by Bill who frequented this forum. Then bought by Paul who also was a 914 world member improved and refined this 550hp monster. Unfortunate events left the front end damaged and in need of extensive repair. Paul didn't want the car parted out, rather he wanted it to be purchased by someone who would bring it back to it's most recent glorious state. Enter me... I had just sold my hit rod El Camino and finally the timing was right. Andrew sent me a note as he knew I was looking for a project. And a Hot rod 914 fit the profile. A lightweight classic car that could be autocrossed, track driven, and maybe a trip to taco Bell. My previous 914 was a 1971 1.7 with Monza exhaust, Weber carbs, and Rivera wheels. This will be a big change. Fortunately I will have been buffered into the outlaw world by Andyrew's build over the last 15+ years. Quite excited to have Son/Father outlaw widebodys. Many of you know that the car was on the east coast and I live on the west coast. It was picked up yesterday but the transportation company. Paul was a great help accommodateing the driver and reassuring that it would tranport just fine. I wish this company had tracking but at least this way I won't be watching it's every move as I wait the 7-10 days going coast to coast. If you see a white 914 on a red auto transport truck. Please let me know! I'll ad to this thread more later,. But here's a teaser picture. |

It's not likely that I would loose interest in my dream car. I've wanted one since Hot Rod Magazine did an article on Rod Simpsons red V8. Yes I'll have earn it, so to speak, but all the better to earn a piece of it. This will make it back on the road. You're pretty close to me relatively speaking. I'm in Eagle Point. |
