Over forty years ago no one that I know off bothered to document owners and VINs of our 914s. I wonder if any of these /6s have survived and who on this Forum might own them.

Thanks for these. Very cool to see.

That flared silver car sure has the look. Love the simplicity and those big tires—though there is something funny about the rear mudflaps as well as the "Fuchs" on this car...the shade of the wheels' spokes as well as the lips in particular.

Love the green (Delphi?) car on steelies, too. Never thought I'd like early steelies on a 914, but they are coming back for me. Go figure...

My first 914. Pic taken in Davis, CA. Low miles 1976. Owned it for 7 years 1979-86. Then I was 914less for 28 years until I found my 73 in the 914World classifieds in 2014.

Pretty sure that is Bob Zulkowski's '71 914-6. That is the Six that lit my passion for the 914-6. Bob and Troy Powell owned Metal Craft in San Leandro, CA in the early 70's. They worked on my '73 914 2.0 and my 2nd 914-6. Great guys the both of them. The guy with the dark hair and glasses on the left in the group of three is Bob I am pretty sure.

Just noticed the subtle gray strip up the center of this black car…perhaps a painter's touch?

Photos were taken at the 1978 PCA Parade at Aspen/Snowmass Colorado.

INTERESTING TOPIC. I wish I knew where my original car was in this picture, wish I had it the whole time until now instead of selling it, what a mistake to sell it.
