Many years ago, on a cold April 25 morning, … I walked into
Park Porsche in Lawrence Mass. with my dad and he
proceeded to co-sign a loan for me to buy a 914
that had been traded back to them as it had 24,000 miles
on it and was about to come out of warranty.
The owner traded it for a new 911..

It was a lifetime ago..

Congratulations!

Soooooooo awesome. What a wonderful history.

You should make a tradition of bolting on one fully refurbished part for each anniversary. Get R done

Beautiful story that keeps on going!

Happy anniversary!

"We have been trying to contact you about your car's extended warranty."

That sort of history with any car is very cool! Love seeing the purchase price of a real 914-6 back then.

Congrats! Coming up on 50 years for me since having my parental units co-sign a loan on my new '73 914. Mom was convinced I would kill myself in it and dad said "it's just a fancy looking, overpriced Volkswagen" lol. I would kill to have the original paperwork back on that car (and the car too of course).

A few more things.

Sweet! The good ole days, lol.

BEt you wish you still had that LTD that they gave you $1100 for

@gandalf_025 - you are a man of taste.
from a 68 LTD to a 914/6.

happy 50th anniversary.

They adjusted the valves and replaced the points on a -6 for only $55 labor??

$55 (73) = approx $400 (2023)

Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. I hate Audis. My last & only one was constantly in the shop. I dumped it for a BMW 528e. Now that was a REAL car & not a POS toy.
