I'm new to the 914 World - this is my #1 post. Recently purchased a 74 2.0, image below. This is an informative forum/site, very much enjoy reading here. The car is mechanically in good shape, with a Weber carb conversion sometime in the past. I hope to be able to attend the Hershey event in April - looks like a great Porsche 914 event (plus those other P cars, what were those model names??. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )
Thanks
Shawn

Nice car. I like the wheels. You don't see those often.

This is my 72. It was my first car, and was red the first time I owned it. I lost it nearly a decade ago due to not paying a storage bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Anyway, I found it a couple of years ago on craigslist. I recognized it by the ATS wheels, ugly red seats and my license plate. Turns out, the car was still in my name (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I guess no one filed the proper legal storage lein paperwork. I wish I could find my solid disassembled 73 2.0 car stuffed in the same unit. The interim owner threw on a cheap paint job, fiberglassed over the rocker rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) and butchered the dash by trying to give it a wood facia (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)


Its not worth restoring to most, but it found me for a reason and has sentimental value. Now I have the resources and know how to do what I wanted to do to it when I was in highschool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

That is the first time that I have seen that type of rim.

What is it called and by whom was it made?

Looks nice!

Good to be different! Obviously! As we aren't driving Toyota Camry's for fun.

Those are "Gotti" wheels, and that's almost all that I know about them at this point - also that they are 6.00J x 14 with the number 7714 stamped as well. If one searches this forum, either these wheels or another set of the identical wheels were previously pictured sans the car (back in 2006).

New (to me) 73 2.0. It was sitting in a driveway down the road for 5 years and very neglected. I saved it, got it running and cleaned up. It is completely stock as it came from the factory, original radio and all. I even got the Factory paperwork.



Wow, that brings back memories (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I lived in Las Cruces as a child back in the 80's. I have many fond memories of my dad driving us up to Ruidoso in his old yellow Saab 99. We lived on Mercury, which was the outskirts at that time. I can't believe how much that area (Main and 25) has grown since then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I love the color. Is that a factory color or a repaint?

It's a Porsche factory color called Baltic Blue, but not available on 914. First resto 19 years ago with that color, and I just got it back after having it resprayed. Tried to match the metallic blue finish so as to avoid a total restoration, but I think the new finish is even better than before!

I have a new favorite color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
You just need a rear valance on that puppy to complete the package.

Looks like the rear valance would be a project if you planned on keeping that muffler / exhaust tip set up.

I agree with the crowd. Very sharp set up. Gets my vote!

My rather.... crispy parts car (engine donor!) has that same exhaust setup, and the PO has absolutely mangled what looked to be a decent rear valance to make it work.

It came with a valance, but I removed it along with the SuperTrap muffler. As was mentioned above, you would practically have to mangle the valance to get it to fit this car now.
