The guys at work have been seeing a red 914 around town since last fall and I finally caught up with him after someone spotted the car at a business. Original owner of a '73 1.7 he bought new at the local dealer. It was off the road for a while, last year he did all the needed mechanical work and this year it get a little rust repair and paint.

Then yesterday afternoon a real nice red '76 pulls into the shop for a state safety inspection. Local guy just bought it, happy to have a 914 again after a 30year dry spell. Car's had a recent bare metal restoration and has a 2.2 still running D-jet.

They both have looked in on the club.... So John and Tom if you're out there sign up and say Hi!

Scott... the new guy lives minutes from your old house

Hi Ed, You are like a magnet for 914's.....I almost never seem to run into 914 lovers in this part of Connecticut except for the guy who pulled up along side me at a light driving the worlds biggest dump truck, yelled down "cool car got one of them at home"gave me an thumbs up, and then roared off belching smoke.....Got a real smile out that way better than the Rolex watch dude.
Happy Fathers Day

How's that possible?! I don't think I've ever seen you without the camera!

I think you're right... couple of weeks ago I had a blue '74 1.8 come in the shop. Owner had the car painted and after the body shop reassembled the lights nothing worked. So then he took it to a Saturn dealer and they "rewired" it but still nothing worked. What a mess!!




you got me there.... won't happen again

Tom stopped by work today and we took each others '76 for a ride. His car drives as good as it looks. Put it up on a lift and gave him his first good look at the underside, real nice solid car. Hope to see him signed up here soon!

VERY COOL




Glad you have some new friends up there Ed!!

Hope all is well with you and your family.
