Wow, Mudfoot... really nice teener. That's the first rear spoiler I've seen on a 914 that actually looks like it belongs there. Color is great and that wide stripe... well, that's the icing on the cake

Thanks. I wanted something unique and I certainly think I got it. Plus, track cars are supposed to be loud and garish

Nice car........

I like the shot of the car when it was green...did you raise the rear of the car since painting it???

I'm doing Mid-Ohio in April and May, the new BeaveRun in June, and Watkin's Glen in late August. I'll fill out the rest of the schedule as I go. What tracks are you doing and what is your favorite?
Geoff,
This is the dune buggy project in its early stages.

No, I didn't have my car at Parade. It wasn't completed enough to paint so I didn't enter. Even though it (the Parade) was in my back yard.

Hello again everyone! I'll try to answer all the questions....
Yes, it is "The Frog", originally from California, now resides near Indianapolis in my climate-controlled garage
The wheels are a custom build from HSE. I have no idea what the previous owner paid for them, but as far as I know, it is the only set with 4-bolt pattern anywhere. I do get many compliments when I have the car out, and Porschephiles seem especially keen on the wheels.
Green cars are faster. I'll attach a photo of some cars with higher HP trying to keep up with me through some twisties at PPRC

That's my car, but it's not me. That was a family (the guy and kid - there was another brother too) from Maryland that were autocrossing a six in my class. They are seroius autocrossers.

Matt,
Was the -6 those brothers were running the white open car or the red car? I hear the white one was wreaked on it's was home. The truck and trailer went off the road or something, but have never confirmed it. But as I remember it now the white one was from Ohio.

They were in the read one. The two brothers and father actually drove it. Very good autocrossers.

Here is my 74LE that the PO painted some sort of white and did some bad fiberglass work on the front end. All the glass front did was let water into the front trunk and rot away the floor, good up grade. I hope to start the bodywork in a few weeks and have it painted by fall, I will post pics then.

Andy - My brother was told me about your post.
I plan to go 3.6 also, hence the heat extractor.
I don't like the idea of pushing more air under the car.
I will work on getting you some pics and start a thread for that.
Mine is all metal, as is the rest of my car, except the rockers, front valance, top and wing.

i bought the car to match the play equipment in my neighborhood
These pictures were taken when: it was still running, it would snow in denver in the winter time, rain in denver in the summer time, and we were allowed to water our lawns more than twice a week.

Glstrojan - Looks good! Glad to know there's another '75 copper metalic 2.0 owner out there. Here's a photo of mine, does the color seem the same?
TROJANMAN
Apr 9 2004, 11:52 AM
and your name is greg, too? weird. looks the same. i think i read on the sticker price that the copper metallic was a $200 custom paint add-on. the guy i bought it from had it repainted once, and my image was scanned and taken in bright sunlight, so it looks a little orangish. but the color is the same. you have good tase.
and somebody correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't recall seeing another copper metallic in the 62 previous pages of postings?

there is at least one more copper metallic one that is very nice and has perfect (IMHO) rake, ride height.
