I nominate Bob Hill/saigon71 for COTM. His restoration is well documented in this thread and is a huge credit for him and the work he had to do to get his car on the road.

Plus, it's an east coast car which don't get the nominations that the west coast cars do.

I second. I drove the car. It looks great but what really impressed me is how tight everything feels while driving. Bob did a great job with this car.

Two beauties so far….this will be tough.

I'll second Chris' car! One of my favorites!

Good start with the two members cars listed...both are very nice, and good guys too.

I nominate Bill DeWitt's (WLD914) car. Awesome looking car, great engineering done by Bill himself. Fast too!!

Great choices so far!

I nominate a well deserving car and an even more well deserving 914World memeber.
Paul - "914itis"

All the work Paul did on this 914 is well documented on many threads. Taking the vehicle from a beat up roller....to a flared 4 banger...then to a 6 conversion.

I second Bills car. Even has AC and a bad ass engine.

I'll second Paul's! Looks like some tough competition though

Thanks guys. I will post some pictures tonight.

+1 on Paul's

I nominat Ethan 914kid his car has been through a bunch of stages and now is looking and driving sweet! Plus the kid is very helpful to me and many others on this site.
Sorry I don't have photo of his car on my iPad.

Thanks Jaime, here's a picture of the car:

Second for the Ethan!

Man, This will be a Tough Vote, All GREAT Cars and even Better People!

+2 on Paul's. I saw what it looked like before in person. Amazing transformation.

I will try to get some interior pics later.

Now

I vote for Pauls,

I have not seen it in the flesh yet, but I hope to this spring/summer.

Thats a "Stick to it" Project if I have ever seen one!

really....really amazing stuff.
wish I had a fraction of his energy.

I guess this is where we post extra pictures..?
Anyways, I
I've had my car for a little over 5 years now, and for the past 4 years it's always been running. The longest it's ever been down before was for paint, which took two weeks. I managed to pull off the 6 conversion in a little over a week and a half. It sure has come a long way since I first trailered it home... It's done everything from autocrossing, to track days, and has always remained a daily driver. I'm not sure what's changed more over the last 5 years, me, or the car?

The day I brought it home:

And here is how it is today:


I guess that's it for now, I'll have to get interior pictures later, and engine bay, and front trunk with the oil cooler duct..

I hate this part. They are all beautiful cars built by great people. I vote for all of them.

Wow ! I dont know what to say ? I guess I should start with saying Thank You , and

Maaaaan, this is gonna be tough.

I agree

Great response - quick set of five cars for the contest. Will set up the poll now.

(apologies, World, for the delay...between no electricity in Philly burbs and blah, blah blah in the last week 914World was errantly neglected...no excuse acceptable, I know!)

All nice cars. But, I have to give points for guys parking in front of no parking signs.
Big points for parking in front of tripple over head Tarantulas.

In my defense, that was a no overnight parking sign.. 11pm to 7am...haha
