I have the 914 I want.
It is a 73 2.0 liter original car. It is not perfect. It has original paint. It runs great and drives great... and quite honestly, it is the perfect car... at least for me. As I thought about this, I wondered about how many people really truly have the 914 that they want. So many seem to want something other than what they have... maybe a six, maybe a wide fendered car, maybe something with perfect paint, something modified, maybe something better than what they have... so how many are really satisfied with the car they have? If you are satisfied with the car you have, post it here and tell us why? |

This is a trick question. Thirty-four years ago, I rolled into a parking lot to inspect what I thought would be a parts car for my first two 914s. What I found was the EXACT car I would have ordered from the dealer: a silver metallic 73 2.0 with performance equipment but not appearance group. I think the OP would approve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). It was also in very good shape other than the old rusted hell hole suspension mount. After a quick repair, I had exactly the 914 I wanted and enjoyed it very much. It wasn't long before Midwestern road salt and age took their toll and the car was well beyond patina. It fell into disuse and neglect. Now it's well on its way through a complete bare metal resto. The only mods being to bring it to European spec. Can't imagine ever wanting a different car.
