Hello every body
1971 is the time
10 1.7L 914`s have come to the country disguised as vw`s with the code name 914
They were not allowed to enter the country as regular cars because there was no Porsche agency in Israel, in fact Porsche opened its first agency in 1996!
So smart people had found a loop hole - a rental car woo hoo
They (I don’t know who) brought those 10 cars in to Israel.
35 years have past since then and as far as rumors go I think between 4 to 6 cars are still here.
Today there are no parts to be found here so every thing had to come from over seas, which makes it all slower and harder
But behold!
The resto project has begun

shiiiiiiiit pics to large (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
i`ll work on it
catch you later

Well it's good to hear back from you, hope your all well. I am sure that some of

us would be willing to help you get parts you may need. Thats one car that should

have a long and happy life.

we're all well I'm in the south so no katushas here, thanks for the good will with the parts I would need few parts soon.
This one would be considered a parts car in the stats but here it's a rarity, and I am too fucked up so I'm gonna put the $$$ that you guys could put in a full conversion from 4 to 6 and then some, just in putting her back on the Israeli roads

hell i wish!
If it only had been in the desert where I live then it could have been rust free, though the chances of a camel pissing accident would have been on the rise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif)

Nop! This car had been for most of its life near the Mediterranean Sea (Tel Aviv)
never a good thing for vintage cars.
