I would like to nominate my wife's 914. I know you really aren't supposed to nominate your own car, but this is NOT my car. I have never owned it. I just get the privilege to work on it and drive it occasionally.
1974 Phoenix red - 410,000 miles and a daily driver with working AC. This car has bad clear coat, some rust spots, and some small tears in the driver's seat. It doesn't have perfect panel alignment either. The driver's door squeaks badly, and the trans whines some due to wear in the case. Betty has owned it since 1985, and still drives it to work (rain or shine) and runs AX events. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/914world.com-1-11722-1568565490.1.jpeg) The car is the first 914 I ever rode in, and the first one I ever drove. It was at our wedding, and is still the #1 914 in our garage. Any repairs to it jump to the front of the line. It has been through an engine fire, and restored to how it now looks and runs from there. It is a beloved part of our family and as long as I can hold a wrench I will keep it running. |

I think I can overlook the Corvettes. Nomination seconded. These are the kind of 914 stories that should be highlighted/promoted by the 914 community. Just my two cents... |
