This is from plutotv (free internet tv), chassy channel, winner’s circle is the program. In this episode, rod emery is raising money for charity foundation. They entered the 914 for the 24 hours or lemons. They did 300 laps in total and raises over $13,000. The drivers were amazed on how the stock 914 handles and how easy it was to race. Engine, transmission and brakes were all fine. Only issue they had was when the cv joints screw came off while racing and they ran out of gas on the final lap but still cruise to the finish line. I believe the track was in Oregon.

Just watched what I think is a new movie called Finding Steve McQueen.
About 44 mins into the flick the main character stashes his ski mask and jacks a shirt out of a teener to start a fight in a bar to distract the cops from the bank heist next door. "Inspired by true events"
Don't know how to do a screen grab and it was a Chinese pirate movie site. (don't want to expose the world to anything nefarious.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

A film worth the ride - and the glimpse of the teener - Signal Orange?

I used to work in B-Hills, would see the location team setup for the two officers on their steeds fairly regularly. The bikes were on a trailer and they were towed by a weird truck with a camera rig and other equipment. Cannot watch the show without noticing that the bikes NEVER move relative to each other. CHIPS!

Around 1982 I found a garage-kept '72 914 in the beach cities of LA, the car was 10 year old. Original everything. It was really nice. I then had to leave town, had a good offer for a contract position in Chicago. Locked the car in the garage, hired my brother to look after the house. Did not give him a garage key.

A few month later came home from Chicago and the lock on the garage door was gone. Opened the door and the car was there, car cover on it just like I left it. After a day or two my brother came by - I had not told him that I was going to be in LA ( this is WAY before cell phones) and he was shocked to see me. He said: "I guess you saw the car" to which I replied sure, seems OK. And then he started to tell the story why the lock was removed.

OK, for those of you outside of LA, every group of guys in LA has at least one dude that is going into the movie business. One of my brothers friends was always talking about this and writing scripts and critiquing movies that were at the theater - you know the guy. Turns out that while I was away he got the money to shoot a short film about a girl, a car and stolen money. Budget so LOW that they collectively decided to use my car.

So they did all of the outside action shots from a Ranchero with a camera mounted on a tripod but when it was time to do the inside shots (girl driving car, etc.) they mounted a big-ass Panaflex all over the car for different shots. One shot the passenger's side, another shot from the Targa Rail looking forward and then backward. Last was from the front windscreen for the "you are driving the car" shot.

The script called for a panic stop right up to the bad-guy. So my brother did the stunt driving ( he knew the car well and had a few 2002BMWs) and he drives like hell, slams on the brake hits the mark (Hollywood for perfect stop) and the camera comes loose and tumbles down the front of the car. Dents and gouges all the way down.

So, he tells this story and then says that miraculously the film canister kept closed and all of the film was preserved and looked great! So I am waiting for the part where they tell me about fixing the car………..still waiting!

The movie was called Gone Riding, it is long lost according to the assistant producer - my brother.

Not sure if this one's been mentioned before, but I was watching the original Carrie (1976 Sissy Spacek version), and spotted a blue 914 parked on the street just as the kids are going to the prom to meet their fate.

Maybe it's already listed, The Fury, from 1978.

Just after the 40 minute mark. It appears twice. The first view is just a glimpse of the top.
A moment later you get to see the whole car.

It doesn't have vinyl covered or painted Sail panels.
Rear bumper is painted.

Hey that's my car!

I answered an extras call for 70's cars and it was supposed to just be a background car. The director liked it and liked the fact the roof was removable, allowing some easy interior shots, so it ended up in a couple scenes. The production eventually ran out of money and I didn't think it would ever be finished. Thanks for posting!

I was watching an old Adam-12. Made in 1974. Saw a 914 in two shots.
