About 8 years ago I stumbled on an ad in the Ventura Star that said simply " 73 914 Porsche project car, $500 or trade for??" Being the young kid I was fresh in the Navy, remembering the fun I had in my Dads 72 I talked the guy into trading for my 2 RC trucks straight across. Had to give her up when I transfered a year later, wish I had known then what I know now... Anyone else have pics of their first teener?

Here's mine. Actually wasn't a bad car overall.

Oooh, plus you can see my 928 in the background.

do you still have it? mark

Nope, both are long gone.

unfortunately I gave mine up before REALLY knowing anything at all about it. Never got it running, the FI comp was fried. Did manage to completely rewire it and get all the electricals working right though! Gave it to a buddy that promised to finish the job. Last I heard he put on some carbs, fixed it up and painted it.

You bet I do, Had a 70 -1.7 in 1975. Put the fiberglass flares and 215 front 235 rear CN-36 Pirelli's and man would that car go in the corners. Had a Racemark steering wheel, scheel seat and 5-point harness and a roll bar. Great paint job and no rust at all. Lived in San Diego. Oh ,had an ARCO center console with the extra guages also. Wish I had it back.
Now a have a 76 - 2.0 up on jack stands for the last 9 months. I'll get her down some day and relive those great drives through the corners.

Heh heh, I was 3 when you had your first teener

Still have the newspaper ad "Porsche , 72, 914, needs some work, many parts, $700 BO"

Paid $650, "many parts" was a dist cap and a fugly rear spoiler I told the seller to keep. Did a bunch of rust repair and mechanical stuff then drove it nine years. I gave it to my brother who converted it to a side shifter and removed the single carb setup it came with to reinstall fuel injection. He took the pic near his home on Long Island.

Hmmmph....

In June I bought back my first 914. I'll have to go free it from storage here soon.

I sold my first teener to Linda Horney and it just seems to keep coming back (for repair, for beautification). At the WCC it took Best 4.

Yeah, still have half a dozen pics of mine (at http://members.rennlist.com/mountain914/Red914.html. (You had your 928, I had my 944 Turbo - which I wish I took pictures of!)

Not the first 914 I worked on, but MY own first 914...

This was my first, 74 2.0, red respray over ravenna Still poking around Denver I assume. I should really buy it back, it was rust free!

I remember my first teener... I drove it to work this morning.

Here's mine.

I sure miss it...

I keep kicking myself for giving my first one away The body was straight, tri tone, but straight. If nothing else, I think it was a 2.0 with old school empi's, and a super straight front bumper. I'd love to have some of those parts now!! I musta been out of my mind... would have loved to get it running...

my first 914 senior year of HS...thought it was going to be a restoration, turned out to be a parts car

I'll never forget my first teener.
(someone had to do it)

Dirty old man!! ... me too....
