Car of the millennium

Car of the redundancy

I nominate my '78 SC Targa.

Maybe do a World member non 914 cotm while we wait.

We were going to do a 50th anniversary celebration but that went out the window...

Obviously i've been slacking pretty good . Anyone want to take over COTM duties?

pick me pick me....and my car

PeeGreen should get it with Larmo's 914-6..with a slight photo bomb..
of the green 911 All In the Family..

Change it to biggest pos thats still runs and drives
Of the month ..

There would be some cool cars there

And probably an increased number of eligible cars.

Actually, I think it would be interesting to hear about anyone's car. Top shelf cars are always great to see, but it doesn't make anyone else's car or current state necessarily any less interesting. If anything they are more relatable.

I like this idea.

It's never too late to still do this!..

..coming from the guy who's car is still currently posted..

I nominate my 06 Cayman S......its at least mid engine.

I second!

Nominating a 911 as COTM would be pretty excellent of 914world on the 914's 50th...

Just zany enough to retain our misfit status.

How about a Fiat X19

Now we're talking!

Do we have any members with X19s?

I sold mine a few years ago.

Alright all this talk about Fiats & 911's is off the beam...a little self serving but I nominate the Creamsicle.
Was just showcased at the Int. Auto show...

This X1-9 (Midwest Bayless ) looks like a contender Click to view attachment

I'd like to third the SC Targa, second the 06 Cayman, and second the X1/9 race car.

Now we’re making progress.

He’d probably just finish second.

Mr. "I Even Brushed My Teeth" often does...

I think I was drooling in this pic of my FIRST drive of a 914. Can't wait to drive mine.

Fuch the Holiday Spirit, I have the 914 Spirit.

Drop the 914 part, i'm happy with just the spirits ...

lets not forget rebodied 914 tube frame cars with a ........Fiero body

Tell me more....

Or…are we already done here?

914 'Vette > C8 Vette...?

914brotm

I love that car. His build thread is insane.

Got a link for that white car build thread?

I much rather like the idea of making a old car function more modernly than making a new car look more old....

I nominate mikey P's car @der914

I would like to nominate my wife's 914. I know you really aren't supposed to nominate your own car, but this is NOT my car. I have never owned it. I just get the privilege to work on it and drive it occasionally.

1974 Phoenix red - 410,000 miles and a daily driver with working AC.

This car has bad clear coat, some rust spots, and some small tears in the driver's seat. It doesn't have perfect panel alignment either. The driver's door squeaks badly, and the trans whines some due to wear in the case. Betty has owned it since 1985, and still drives it to work (rain or shine) and runs AX events.

The car is the first 914 I ever rode in, and the first one I ever drove. It was at our wedding, and is still the #1 914 in our garage. Any repairs to it jump to the front of the line. It has been through an engine fire, and restored to how it now looks and runs from there.

It is a beloved part of our family and as long as I can hold a wrench I will keep it running.

Any running 914 with 400,000 miles and a working A/C is a winner...

410,000 miles, that kind of back story, a daily driver, and working A/C?

I think I can overlook the Corvettes. Nomination seconded. These are the kind of 914 stories that should be highlighted/promoted by the 914 community.

Just my two cents...

Lots of seat time and stories I'm sure.

Oscar

Here's another vote for Clay's wife's car.

You guys are all so wonderfully sweet! And, yeah, you bet your butt there are TONS of stories (he's up to 411,000 miles now).


Keeping it all in the mid-engine family - I third, or fourth (or whatever number we're up to) the Fiat X-19!

But wait... no love for the Toyota MR2? I got my butt kicked regularly by one of those back in my SCCA autocross days (although we found out years later he had to cheat to beat me).

Or there's always Son Of 914 - the Porsche Boxster (I know a bunch of you have one of those)?

Perhaps the Delorean? A niece and nephew (it's her car, not his) have one. Unfortunately it's not optioned like the one in the picture below.

And we can't forget Grandson Of 914 - the Porsche Cayman (I know some of you have one tucked away in the garage)!

But my ultimate choice - as a good and proper 'Runner-Up and Honorable Mention' to a 914 of your choosing for COTM honors is........... <fanfare that sounds a lot like horns beeping like a crowd of cars applauding in one of the 'Cars' movies>...........


The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO which sold for $48.4 million dollars last year!

How freaking incredibly awesome would it be for the Premier 914 Website In The World to give second place - also known as First Loser - in their 914 Car Of The Month, year, millenium (whatever gets decided) to a '62 Ferrari GTO - one of the most expensive cars ever?!?!


That would seriously have to be a poster (like a 'Motor Trend - Import Car Of The Year cover or something like that) with a small picture of the runner-up in the bottom corner! I'd buy multiples... just so I could have one hanging in every single room of the house.

How about a twofer? It includes 914 contentClick to view attachment
