Hi my Name is Keith Turk, I’ve recently acquired 2 914’s, the first is a $500 project car for my 15yr old grandson Kristian, and the second because I liked the idea so much for myself, a nice enough car bought off Tucson’s Craig’s list from a lying scoundrel

The first has been flared in the back and doesn’t run, ( I need a 1.8 engine for it ) and the second is a running ratty car with Zero rust.

Having done the rust thing in the past... I wanted one from the Southwest .... it’s Very nice but incredibly rough. Especially anything that can fade or weather harden from the sun. ( I like the NO RUST part enough to love the patina.).

I’ll try and post a couple of pictures up....what’s the best way to do that here? I’ve got an I Cloud account but have never posted from it.

Thanks in advance
Keith

( I’m also a bit of a Land Speed Racer if we have any of those guys here )

There was no 'factory air,' the AC was a dealer installed option and most of them don't (or didn't) work very well. Most AC got taken out and thrown away. The big hole in the front trunk got welded up, and you went on your merry way.

Some here have got air systems that work, but I've never seen one in real time.

And,

Kristians car has the centerline wheels and I’m not sure where to find the paint code but the car was originally BRG, Mine was silver from the factory and it was simply scuffed to repaint it. The trunk and boot both have factory paint as well as the engine compartment.

I’ve been toying with taking it back to silver, I’ve also been thinking I’m going to simply drive it as is for a while. The car runs fine , it’s got a hot start issue that has nothing to do with Porsche and everything to do with the mechanical hackery that was the DSPO

Mine also seems to have a ton of miles on it. ( I don’t mind )

There should be a black Karmann plate on the drivers side door jamb that has the chassis number and paint code on it.
