Congrats!
FYI, for all you that think PCA is anti 914.... President Manny Alban owns a 914, Executive Director Vu Nguyen owns a 914, and Pano Editor Pete Stout is a huge 914 fan...can't remember if he still has his.
Expect to see a fair share of 914 related articles into the future...
Looking forward to reading the article!

Congrats on the article, Paul
It's nice to see that the ugly bastard stepchild P-car has gained increased appreciation over the past several years.

You can check it out next time you're up...I can make a copy this week if you want.
I don't think PCA is anti 914, but it seems that the company is.
It is good to see a lot of 914 guys in the PCA offices now, that's for sure.

Stellar car Paul! Congrads on the article, and of course Parade. Looks like she found her way to the right owner.

You can ask him. He's on here as "horizontally-opposed".
I haven't heard anything about him ditching his 914, but I did hear it was getting a couple more cylinders added to it...

Great article!
As a long-time PCA member (40 years), I've definitely seen more and more interest in the 914 over the years. Where we were first not accepted as real Porsches by PCA, more and more folks are realizing the great combination of handling, mileage, and storage capacity offered by these neat little cars!
And yes, I also seem to sense that Porsche AG seems to avoid acknowledging the 914 like a bastard stepchild.

I really like the new format of Panorama. There articles every month on cars and owner's journey with these cars.
Now that the articles include our beloved 914, Pano has raised the bar.
Congratulations Paul. I was also pleased to see Brad Mayeur featured as well. He has supplied parts and advice for my 73 2.0 restoration.

Paul,
We are soo proud of you raising the 914 bar. You worked hard for the Pano award.
Great job @ Parade, you deserve the honors.
Paul, Did you get the guys name who offered you $40K++ & hit you with his checkbook. I need his name to see if he wants my Chrome Yellow 914??
Eric Shea and Brad Mayeur were quoted as 914-Experts!!!
Now we have to pay more for their services??
But, we love you guys for raising the 914 bar.
Great 914 stuff along with the Feb. 2014 EXCELLENCE issue last 914-6, M-471 #9142430260 article owned by David Hatch from Wisc. Is he active on 914 World??

Wow, what a car...what a write up for the 914 in Pano...I'm not sure I've ever seen that many pages on a 914. I think that's b/c of the quality of the car.
I've been a PCA member since 95'...my only regret is not joining in 77' when I bought my 1st 914.
btw: I didn't know chrome bumpers were available in 74'...I thought they all were black

Great article enjoyed the read. Nice to see Brad M mentioned. I bought my first 914 through him on consignment. I just had some things sorted out by my mechanic and he was impressed by the condition of the car. Brad M represented the car honestly as I purchased the car trusting him. I am out in a CA and had not seen the car in person. It's fun being in the 914 world.

Paul (Bliz),
You did it! You broke the glass ceiling. 914's are now being recognized.
I knew you could win, just needed a little push and some rah rah.
Excellent score!
Pat
