A friend and I bought the only 914 to win a championship on the dirt at Santa Maria Speedway in California. We stripped the car. He took the engine for a race buggy and I took everything else.
Now, when I look back on it I cant believe we cut up the body and roll cage and had it hauled away for scrap. That was one of the strongest roll cages I've ever seen. I really regret cutting it up and letting it go like that. The only good thing I can say is that a lot of the parts made it onto my roadracing car. But that car was unique as far as 914's go and very fast. I have sinned. I will say five hail 914's and two fuch's. Randy |

I may have commtted one of the worst sins, BUT I am currently working on redemption. Three years ago I bought a wrecked original 6. This car went down an embankment and crunched the front end, rolled 1x then the back end hit a tree. The rear end was bent down. The targa bar was folded down on either side of the rear window, BUT the glass was not broke! I stole the car with its 3.0 engine and dual 46 webers for $4,000. In one week it was a barely rolling shell. I took everything that would make it a 6 out. I even cut out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) the engine mount, wire harness, dash, stubs, brakes, door plate, tank, tins. Less than a week later it was at a wrecking yard. I has sold most of the parts to fund my 914/6 3.0 track car. Please forgive me. I will try to find the pics I took to prove my case that this car was really gone.

Not really 914, but air cooled.
In '64, when I was 17, my aunt had be do some yardwork & take her new Corvair to have it gassed up & checked over. Asked the attendant (remeber those?) to chaeck the radiator. He couldn't find it. Which one of us was dumber? |

Welding fender cowl seams is not a sin brother, it's preventive maintenance.

I too have sinned.
After taking the hoods, engine, tranny, and rims off a parts car...I hastily had it hauled to the scrap yard before family came to visit. As if it was an eyesore or something. I didn't even bother to take the VIN number for our club records. A nameless car has gone to a nameless grave. Forgive me oh Porsche gods. Oh the shame. |

Another one from my younger days is I used to go junkyard shopping & steal the badges off of 911s' & 914s' for decoration of the garge & tool boxes. At one point I had some 20 different 914 badges, six, gold, black, aluminum, 1.8, 2.0... all gone & thrown out when I "grew up" & was off to college in the summer of 81 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . So anyone who went junkyard shopping in MD back in the early 80s' & saw teeners missing their rear badges it was probably my fault. I had to sleep on this just to remember it this morning!

I don't want to sound like a Pharisee, but I haven't heard one person yet confess to putting a Subaru or Chevy in their car. Sin is still sin, even if it is popular....
