I think maybe 914World should start a '914 Hall of Fame'.

Recognizing people who had an impact on the early 914 community.

I would nominate Dennis Deeds, Glenn Stazak, Perry Kiehl, Rich Johnson and of course you would have to include George Hussey.

Who would you nominate?

Who remembers “Tim’s 914 Page”?

I used to live down the street from him in Chandler AZ. He got in a car accident, I think in his Vette? He was no longer able to drive the 914 and sold it.

Guess I’ll hold on to this vintage bit - may only drive the value up .001% after today’s “archival quality” thread, but in 20 years-who knows?

Very cool info guys! I don't remember the first forums I started posting to, but it was certainly 914 related. Probably closer to late 90's, 98 or 99 maybe.


I got my 914 the year my son was born in 2001, I remember there wasn't much daily active other than pelican forums. I did find a local member and bought my first parts cart on a message board, likely the early 914 club. Rennlist was not much more than a message board but it did have excellent how to's. I was active on the bird forum when the new club was in the planning stages during 2001 and started testing during the 2001 Christmas break. The new 914club went on line officially just after the new year in 2002.

That is IIRC...I'm getting old, I have a good memory... but it's short (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I met Betty in 85, and meeting her is what started this ongoing adventure with 914s. But we didn't have a clue about the internet at that time. She had a Tandy Color computer, I had a Commodore Vic 20. Neither had a modem.

Our 914 info came from various catalogs, and from asking questions of a lot of people, like Ed Mayo and Wes Hildreth. Back then it was "tear it apart and see if we can fix it". Now it is "Go look on World and see if anyone else has already done it."

Some number of years ago, I believe Dennis compiled all the 914-6 newsletters into a big PDF and made them available on CD. I had access to the full Adobe program and split them back out into individual years. 1979 thru 1987.
I think think this was issue #1.
Probably need to check with Dennis about making them available...

I am trying to see if I can find an archive of the old porsche BBS groups from the 90's. I was only interested in 911s back then.

Good ole days. Lots of names I hadn't seen in many moons.

I was still a newbie in the renegade days, back when we still thought you could turbo a 914.
Silly friggin us ;-)

I 'member we had problems with the renegade site and Brad threw together the 914club website so we could have a place to play, that was how THIS place eventually came to be.

Jeff Gacek! Jeff quietly did more for that first 914 Club page than many will ever know.
