Here are some pics of my '72:



Please excuse the bad hair-do



I've already posted this one, but will post it again for the sake of completeness:

Looks like you're stuck in a traffic jam Omar

Interesting wheels ... never seen those before. Who makes/made them?

Mark,
Funny how I was asked the very same question in the "Post your mugshots" thread...

The wheels are actually made by Personal (of steering wheel fame - Italian made) and are datestamped '72 just like the car. I had no idea that Personal sold alloy wheels before I bought this car... Oh, they're 14x6s btw...

PS - Wouldn't you agree that they look remarkably like Porsche's latest (987 - 997) style of alloy wheel?

I just realized I haven't posted a pic of the Red car yet.
Since I took a few shots while I was out for a drive this morning.....

Heres one that I just got.
1974 with air conditioning and original color.

COOL

I recently moved back to the bay area from Colorado. I thought I kicked the habit when I got rid of all my 914s before I moved there, but now that I'm back in California, the sickness is back...

In February, I purchased this Tangerine 1970 1.7


And then yesterday, I bought this Marathon Blue 1974 2.0 from the original owner.
It has documented 333,000 miles on it, with complete service records.


More pics of these cars, past cars and events I've been to, can be found at project914.com

cheers,

My 76 & the front susp & brakes going under her

Here is mine. After buying last month from the original owner, with only 53,000 actual miles and in great shape, I find I will have to sell it. I can't get my fat self in it very easy. Here it is having the front calipers replaced and the brakes flushed as it was not driven the last 2 years.
Great car, so I either lose weight or sell it.

Ok, now I am frustrated. I have tried to attach the photo 5 times now and it won't let me.

What's the file size and format?

here is a pic of jrinvent's 914

On the road at this years Route 66 Ramble! (Thanks for the pic Toast!)

I'm 5'6", 155 lbs, and still grunt & groan entering/exiting 914's. There IS a learning curve associated with ownership. Don't give up too quickly, you'll get it figured out.

I'm 6'1", 320 lbs, and I wouldn't give up mine for the world. I only wish that mine was bought from the original owner!

OK, Here's a BEFORE pics of the 74 1.8L I just purchased to convert to a custom six, possibly V6.

WOW- All these cool new cars have shown up. What happened? Did everyone with a dust-gathering car sell out at once? So many purty ones, cool ones, potentially great ones- just great! I don't ever see a 914 for sale (or otherwise allmost) around here. Original paint is my holy grail- I'm still lookin.

Some updated pics of my car:

New engine installed 2 days ago, 76 2.0 D-Jet with 96mm pistons.

last one

I first posted a picture of my '75 2.0 when I bought it 3 years ago. Since then there's been lots of work and $ spent. Along with some rust removal & welding, I've added a sway bar, carpet, seats, wheels, and just finished back-dating the exhaust to stainless steel & Bursch. Getting rid of the ugly speakers in the doors and recovering the panels are next on the list, followed by backdating the bumpers.
A big 'thank you' to all the people in the 914 community who've helped me get it this far!
Here's what 'the little car' (my wife's nickname for it) looks like now:

Dam! Thats a nice looking car!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you
However, the pictures make it look a lot nicer than it does up close. It's definitlye a 10-15 footer. It could use some body work to remove the small dings, and would really benefit from a new paint job.

I'm just hoping that it can stay off of the jack stands for a whole summer so I can enjoy it!

Very nice car i like the black it blends the bumpers in.. they dont stand out.

congrats.. :-)

Im 6'4" and 270 and after a shifter shorten and a smaller steering wheel mines not to bad to get into! and like everyone else.. im not giving up on mine it keeps my sanity!

My latest toy. Bought in Nov 07 from a estate sale in Wisconsin. Hasn't ran since 04. Spent some time cleaning it up. It goes for its 2.4 /6 install next week and then we should be ready for the 2008 AX/DE season.

Garold, who owned the car?

It belong to Mike Liebmann (RIP). I never knew him, but from them guys I met that did know him, he sounded like a really great guy.

I'm sure he ( and his family ) would be glad to see what you have done.

This is my first 914 hope u guys like it as much as i do its a 2.0L x road racer thats going to be brought back from the dead.

Nice car!

Are those 'blackened' Rivieras?

Looks good

Has lots of 914 repair bills...


This was at the last PCA Autocross. I am in the foreground finishing the course, and Betty is in the background waiting in the staging line.

Found this picture taken on trip to Big Sur, CA 1985 or so.

A more current pic...

Very cool Jim

How long have you owned that particular car

25 years; Sold the Saratoga Top to Meng in Singapore

Next time you see it--after the G & R--will have 5 lug Fuchs and backdated chrome bumpers. Got all the parts, just need to put it all together. Taking a week off in May, hope to do at least the 5 lug conversion then.

Tease... I saw your post and hit the thread thinking you had'er done!

Inside pic taken at Trevor's Bar-B-Que in Escondido a months or so back..

Won't be long. Sent the rotors to machine shop for cross-drilling. Also located a new ( to me) original front valance, it's at the paint shop, wheels coming back from Al Reed next.
Bumpers are rechromed, and have new grills.

Gonna be some fun

If you look at the previous pic, the center tunnel is covered. Made a removable foam/masonite/carpeted piece to cover the tunnel. Has cut out in the lower layer of foam for wiring. The whole piece will lift right out with out having to unscrew anything. The carpet over the top tucks under the floor pan carpet. Might not be safe in a roll-over, but that's not likely...

It is complete.

I got some pics but I"m new and don"t know how to add some more can you help?

Dflesburg, What seats are those? Looks like you've got the stock backpad in there with them.

Custom, everything on this car is custom... They were at one time 914 seats. Heavily modified starting with the fiberglass shells, re-foamed, upholstered in furniture grade leather cowhides from spinneybeck(everything but the dash top and bottom pads are in leather too) and sewn by

Joan Flesburg[i][color=#CC0000]. (she does awesome work!!!! ) Thanks Mom!

Here she is after a little wait, and a good bath and detail.
