DAMN! I'm feeling really special now! It's like Back to the Future
when they had the results of all the sporting games and could bet and always win! I'm buying a lottery ticket today! And I'm not saying what's in it. You'll just have to wait!

A restored yellow 914/6 that was headed to the junkyard? That does ring a bell....

The 914 coverage has been great. There have been several articles since Pete left. I think he was instrumental in bringing or cars out of the shadows. Anywho, Still buying a ticket today!

So how is you get your Excellence up in Frostebite Falls, before us in CA, when it's a CA publication!?
Who did you bribe Rick?
I'm still waiting for mine!
I've been waiting to see AT's car for a while now!
He lives close by, so maybe he is running around town collecting them for his own stash!?
August also had some 914 content in the Dwight Mitchell write-up on pg. 97 fyi for those that didn't see that.
I agree with Rick that Excl. has continued the 914 content since Stout left, while Pano has increased it with him there - among other improvements. So perhaps it's the best of both worlds to have his hand touch both publications!
Cheers!
Tom

Got mine yesterday but hadn't had a chance to look at it. Just did when I saw this thread. Awesome car and nice article!
I really think that car NEEDS to be at Okteenerfest..

I REALLY wish they would have included the before picture. The article and pictures can never do justice to the car, from what I've seen on this board.
I'm sure if I saw it in person, the board postings wouldn't do it justice.

Most magazines are not distributed/mailed from the editor office. Most are done out of somewhere in the midwest, centrally located like Indiana or somewhere to minimize mailing costs. IIRC Pano is sent from somewhere like Indiana or Illinois...

Andy's a great guy and a member here, he was at the West Coast Ramble this year. I had the fortunate chance to ride on Saturday with him, His original 914 6 is a wonderful car and if you saw the photo of what he started with you or at least I was amazed as it was a rusty mess of a 914 6, now looks as new though much better in every sense most certainly with great power.
Thanks for a great day Andy!

I rode with Andy on Friday at WCR for the big tour and WOW, what a nice car! Once we figured out how to load my bum right leg in the car, the ride and the experience was great. On through the twisties in the mountains I had my heart in my throat a couple of times but that's what the driving is about. We got to talk alot about the car and the work involved and he gave me some great tips on my project.
Thanks for the great ride Andy and congratulations - hope to see you at RRC!

Hmm...I'll have to stop by my parent's house and check out the new Excellence. My dad usually hands them down to me when he's done.
While it's cool to see the 914 getting some respect, its not good for someone like me that is hoping to find one for a decent price. I should have bought one 10 years ago!
