I was on the way to work this morning and noticed that my odometer fliped 14,000. That would make a grand total of 214,000miles on my chassis. I drive my little guy to work everyday and it is still holding up strong.

How many of you know how many miles your teener has? Chassis only, engine rebuilds/swaps/etc. doesn't count.

Unless you're an original owner, how do you know; how many times the oD has flipped or how many times speedo has been replaced. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/yellowsleep[1].gif)

Little old lady...... original owner.......... 72k original miles ...... damn near ripped me off too... if she's cool enough to drive a porsche at 78, she's cool enough to get by your radar. That's ok, I came out fine in the end...... ever threatened to let someone die in prison? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

PS i put over 60,000 miles on my first 914 before it got wrecked, it had an unknown mileage on it by prior owners.



Holly 914's batman!!! Look I have 914 posts as of now, check it out on the left side of the screen! And to think 914 happens twice a day to boot!

That is about as special as the odometer flipping over 99,999.9.

Which got me thinking, don't new cars (to me new is anything after 1980) have an extra decimal place. they don't flip until 999,999.9 miles (basically a million mile flip) Is that cause they planed to last longer, and the old cars were not expected to reach 100,000 miles?


Anyway i am having a 914 day! Yippie!!! Still counting jackstand time however, Ugh!

knock on wood is ok, knock on piston is bad.

That's good mileage for an aircooled motor, change the oil often, adjust the valves? I assume you have been.

85,232 miles on display
when I bought the car it showed 76,872 miles - I was told that it's original (by the PO)
off course there's no proof, but the overall condition of the car made me believe it
there were only 3 owners before me, the 2nd had the car for 21 years

That's real low, 18k miles! have any photos to post? Anyone know of the record for least miles (other than factory examples, I'm talking real sold to persons cars) I have heard of some owners of the last US VW Bug buying them, and right off the trailer putting them in storage, in sealed nitrogen filled plastic bags. Them is real low miles, anyone one know of a 914 like that or simular?

I heard of a VW Bug from the 60's that was stored by the owner, and just started once and a while for forty some years, it was some find when the estate was sold off. Something he bought it as a gift to his daughter, but before she got it she ran off or died or something, so he just kept it in a garage but really hardly ever drove it, it had mega low miles (i think it was sub 1000) and all garage kept, never saw rain type of thing. All original, clean car!

i have seen some very very either orignal 914's or very very high end restorations, i can not recall the milage on these few exceptional cars. I see them at shows once and a while, engine bays you can eat off of, OEM decals, no wear and tear, just plain great examples of what a 914 must have been like in the showroom.

So how about some photos of real low mileage cars?

it only ran for about three months before we pulled the old motor, and we didn't get any good photos...not at least that i could find on the computer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) the story: a man bought it new in 74, drove it for a couple years, for some reason the engine blew, pulled that and put a bus engine in, parked it for YEARS.. at least 15, in a barn/ garage.... the old man has some sort of medical condition, and has no relatives,and gets put in a nursing home, so his things get sold off, and that how we got the car at an estate auction... the car had almost no rust at all, but had some really scewed up wiring (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) but what could i ask for from a West Virginia car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) now it is on jack stands and not running... the one year anniversary should be coming soon... it's sad to just see it sitting there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

0 zip nada it aint got no stinking speedo or oddo (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) But I do have a metric one I will be putting into it.

If I remember Clays guy next door has over 300000 on his. He said he got it way back and I think it is on its third engine.
