Like the title says, I'm wondering what the best way to tie a christmas tree to the top of a 914 would be.

I'm planning on going to cut a tree down this afternoon, and I'll be in the 914.

Ask Keanu.

tie a rope to beneath the spare tire on tow loop; put a metric bolt in the rear tow eye. use padding wherever the tie down or tree contacts the car surfaces. use a set of bungies for the tree where it crosses over the targa top. take a pic and show us.

Slap it on top, or buy one in a box.

Buy an extra top bolt plywood on it to desired length. Drive slowly....

Just take the top off and plant it in the passenger seat.

Did it:

The Stripper Pole doubles as a Festivus pole..

I love your car. Looks great.

Happy Holidays

Well... I drove all the way to work to get my car today because I've had the work van since thanksgiving, and I forgot to bring the keys for the 914.

So I'll be doing this tomorrow.

fixed it...

I did it for many years 75-85!

To protect from scratches & pine pitch on the paint - I just put a tarp or something in the rear trunk & over the rear fenders & rear wall, put the tree in sideways & folded the tarp down over it, then tied the trunk closed with some string or a long shoelace threaded through the upper & lower latch parts.

Then drive slow & don't get too tall of a tree!

I also carried my bicycle in there that way, with the front wheel removed for mor compact fir - that is, when I didn't use the bike rack from the under rollbar mounts & trunk pieces.

I picked one up in a '72 back in 1991 and I took the top off and stood it in the passenger floorboard with the window up on that side. Use a little rope to keep it off of you. There was snow on the ground and I got so many comments I stopped at Walgreens and bought 3 ornaments and hung them. Worked like a charm.

I ended up stopping and adding a string from the lower branches around the front tits to keep the tree from moving back too much.

and here is the car hiding behind some of the christmas trees.

Absolutely awesome! Can't say I have laughed this hard today! I have to say it though... "drive faster, I think I hear banjo music."

Ripper.......You sure that's a Christmas tree????......

That's awesome.

SOT - I like the way the blacked out hood and trunk look.

I can never get my trees grown that big before the police pick them for me.



I think the trunks and sidestripes make it look like a hot wheels car.
...and if it would have scratched the paint, I would have just had to apply some more krylon.

I saw your car @ Petit, but it did not stand out as much with all that clay dust on it. See ya next year!

with this kind of weather, the 914 gives way to a more appropiate vehicle!

I've been known to drive the 914 in the snow.
