So I've been lurking around the website for a while now - figured I'd go ahead and say "hi".
This is my '71 914. Bought it from a friend's dad here in Huntsville last fall, haven't spent much time with it, but plan to dive in now that it's starting to get a little nicer outside... I know it has a few big cosmetic things that'll have to be worked on - I'm better with these than the internal stuff (engine, electrical, etc). Anyone know of any other 914 owners in the North Alabama area? ![]() |

Here is my 73 914 1.7 its pretty much original cept for the monza system, rebuilt with 2.0 heads etc, and the marathon blue metallic-ish paint on it, and radio my mom is the orignal owner, so i have all the documentation on it. Basically, it was my hs project, and daily driver Was it repainted? Marathon blue was a 74-75 color. It looks really nice... |

yea, i repainted it about a year ago
it was originally silver metallic, but it fades too fast, so after seeing the marathon blue metallic, i thought it looked alot cleaner, and would survive the sun better, so i made a similar match for the color |

Looks like you're stuck in a traffic jam Omar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Interesting wheels ... never seen those before. Who makes/made them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Mark,
Funny how I was asked the very same question in the "Post your mugshots" thread... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The wheels are actually made by Personal (of steering wheel fame - Italian made) and are datestamped '72 just like the car. I had no idea that Personal sold alloy wheels before I bought this car... Oh, they're 14x6s btw... PS - Wouldn't you agree that they look remarkably like Porsche's latest (987 - 997) style of alloy wheel? |

I recently moved back to the bay area from Colorado. I thought I kicked the habit when I got rid of all my 914s before I moved there, but now that I'm back in California, the sickness is back...
In February, I purchased this Tangerine 1970 1.7 (IMG:http://www.project914.com/plogger/thumbs/lrg-86-DSC05531__1_.JPG) And then yesterday, I bought this Marathon Blue 1974 2.0 from the original owner. It has documented 333,000 miles on it, with complete service records. (IMG:http://www.project914.com/plogger/thumbs/lrg-99-dsc05612.JPG) More pics of these cars, past cars and events I've been to, can be found at project914.com cheers, dug |

Let’s see your babies, 914’s only please! We really don’t care what kind of POS water-cooled you drive. Unless it’s a 914 V-8 conversion of course! Sorry our pic is a bit crappy. Mark & Kim Henry, Port Hope, Ontario, Canada Here is mine. After buying last month from the original owner, with only 53,000 actual miles and in great shape, I find I will have to sell it. I can't get my fat self in it very easy. Here it is having the front calipers replaced and the brakes flushed as it was not driven the last 2 years. Great car, so I either lose weight or sell it. Ok, now I am frustrated. I have tried to attach the photo 5 times now and it won't let me. |

Here is mine. After buying last month from the original owner, with only 53,000 actual miles and in great shape, I find I will have to sell it. I can't get my fat self in it very easy ... I'm 5'6", 155 lbs, and still grunt & groan entering/exiting 914's. There IS a learning curve associated with ownership. Don't give up too quickly, you'll get it figured out.Great car, so I either lose weight or sell it.... |
