Interesting to watch the last bids roll in. Reminds me of how Ebay once was.

Really nice 914.

I, for one, hope there are some other blue 914 buyers still out there . . .

The Olympic Blue did help,as it screams classic '70's Porsche! But the excellent detailing overall and the lengthy service history is what did the trick, in my opinion. Congrats to both the buyer and seller on this one!

Seller is a friend of mine. This beautiful example is truly a survivor and will stay local in SoCal! The other one in Marathon Blue is not for sale! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I don't know... a few weeks ago I got a wave from a 930 turbo and now this? The whole system is changing and I don't know who I am anymore.

haha is that odd? I just got mine and my dad was driving it to an appointment the other day and said "This sporty new 911 drove up next to me and gave me a huge thumbs up" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It wasn't that long ago where the lowly 914 was below the bottom of the pile. What happened?? It's a frenzy

@bbrock

Thats why you need the sticker that any good hot rod has . . . "Built Not Bought". That's who you are! Anyone can buy a 930 as a lifestyle statement. Very few can take a 914 from what you started with to what you now have.

Very true,

Many people ask me why I don't bring the Cayman to more of the local shows and Porsche events, when I'm driving the 914.

I usually respond with "I build the 914, I just bought the Cayman"

When I bring the 914 to Cars and Coffee, everybody comes over and has a question or comment.
When I bring the Cayman, only the other Porsche people want to have a conversation.

meticulously cleaning your 914 is like petting man's best friend, it lowers the blood pressure
