Some of you saw that I sold my 74 in the Classifieds... Well it's getting picked up next week, thought I would post a few parting shoots. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I just had to have this... and could not keep both.
It's a twin to the car I owned last year, only this one needs nothing. 75 Carrera #391.  And here is the one I sold last year, #171, I fell in love with it, but It needed to much rust repair for me to keep.  Rear seats for my kids will be nice. I'm not leaving 914's, I will own another. Ferg |

Nevermind??
Oh, and I'm also getting a 3.2 short stroke Andial built motor in the deal. 46mm webers, ported heads the whole deal. Stock 2.7 is in the Carrera now, but I have a lift and that car is dying for a 3.2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Anybody know how long start to finish it took a 911 to be built those days? Cert says it rolled off the line May 18 1975, I was born April 26, 1975 so we are very close to the same age. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Can you guys tell, I'm just a wee bit excited (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Ferg |

Someone wanted to see pics of the Clear bra I installed.
First shot, it's really almost impossible to see. Second shot I opened the hood and took a shot of the edge. Bra is to the left, to the right is regular paint. Ferg   I realize this whole thread borderline's what this forum is about, but this is a winning car locally (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

I have a ton of close ups, but no "overall" shots... What do you want to see?

Ferg,
That was truly one of the nicest 914s out there in the "World". You and your Orange car are going to be sorely missed around here. A (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) for your new acquisition. Our loss is the tail-draggers gain. BTW, how long did you own that 914? Paul |

Just under 3 years.
Yes, it's very nice, but not near as nice as some of you guys. My goal for the car was to make it as nice as possible but still enjoy, without having a heart attack every time it went out for a drive. If you know me, I still treated it like a garage queen, and used the car very sparingly. I also obviously departed from stock in some area's. (bumpers, carbs, rennshift, konis, falken's ect ect) I must say, from a driving/sound/power standpoint, I prefer carbs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) to fuel injection. That being said, I understand the originality aspect of fuel injection, and can really appreciate a completely stock original car. Oh and you won't miss me, I'll be here. Ferg |

Ferg,
Sorry to see such a beautiful 914 leave an appreciate owner, but understand the tail dragger lust. So, where did the 74 go? Pat |

Mike that is an exquisite car. I remember the white car you had at the 2005 WCC too, just as nice.
So how do you do it? Do you just find these impeccable examples and just maintain them or do you find good cars and take them to the next level? How many gazillions of hours do you spend detailing each week? Do you do any hard work' like paint or engine overhauls, or do you just hire that out and stick to the Zymol and microfiber? Do you have a job, wife, kids? How do you do it, whats your secret so some of us can emulate you? If I had a car that looked that nice... |

I only buy nice cars to start. This one was not quite "done" when I got it and I spent plenty of $ on it.
I put more into my white six than what this car just sold for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I do minor stuff, but can't paint or weld, and really only self teach myself the mechanics, never done a engine build. I have some good contacts and work many trades for the work I can't or won't do... I do spend a fair amount of time detailing, but once a car get's to a certain state, it's not that hard to keep it clean. The way these cars have climbed in value in the past five years sure works in one's favor, and they are sure a hell of a lot more fun than looking at my 401 statement go down every month. Ferg |

Hey Ferg, have you already removed the VIN from your profile? All I see in there is a 1971. On a great car like the '74 I'd like to have the complete file on the car. Some really nice shots of the #'s on the car would be useful for reference material.

On the clear bra:
Did you have someone install a kit? Or did you buy the clear stuff and put it on the hood and headlight covers? Paul |
