^ I feel ya, brother, and knew it was probably something like that. Time was the first thing I thought about, actually.
Still, your post seemed to encapsulate a shift in the 914 world of late, with these cars becoming more and more like 356s. Not sure how I feel about 914s viewed or treated that way, sometimes. Then again, there are a lot of great 356 people who really drive their cars, too...and they certainly do right by the cars as a whole.
Both of these get driven. The yellow orange one has a roll cage, hot engine and competed in 3 Mexican rally’s. The blue one has headers and a stinger exhaust. Original paint, patina and rust. No garage queens here.
Love it!
One of my favorite 356s around here is a very dog-eared C coupe. Dark blue with a brown interior and a veteran of many, many rallies. I wouldn't touch it, other than to open the door, get in, and get the hell out of dodge. Wouldn't mess with either of the above, either.
