Here's "LOLA" in all her glory! Will be re-painted original color (silver) and a red interior! Inherited from my pops!

The only thing I've added is the third brake light from Engman and the rear trunk shocks from Boxstr.

Oh, and I've added the Euro turn signals (bucket & lens) from Boxstr also!

Are you using the red interior being sold by boxstr?

I have a 73 parts car with the vinyl as well.

I just thought it was the PO's attempt of pimping out the car.

flippa, the v.i.n. #'s could be 4732900001 thru 4732901000 (apx.). can you p.m. me the numbers and and oddities about both the cars?? i can dig up the info. about them i've collected. they have some interesting twist.

Great looking car, what is the VIN #?

Here are some pics of a 73 2.0 that I got from a dealer out in California. This will be my first attempt at posting pictures on a forum so this may require a little understanding.

For those that have never seen a yellow 914 before...

Here's the original dealer web posting:

Needless to say the car is huge fun to drive and I can't wait to take it up to Hershey this April and visit with all the folks at the meet. See you there,

John

Great looking car--I remember the ad. Most importantly: It looks like you got rid of that horrid rear spoiler!
Put a stock 2.0 muffler, metal front valence, and orig radio in it, and you have perfection.

Welp, thought i would show off my first 914. It's a 1973 1.7. Got it for $900. Hope i didn't get ripped off!

I thought I would post some pics of my small block chevy powered 914 that I just finished. I never realized how much fun a SBC 914 would be to drive!

WOW, Mark

looks like you did real good for $900

Very Nicely Done Love the way the exhaust comes thru the rear

Mark, where did you get the front spoiler from? Wicked looking car!

Really nice car .....kinda like the color 2

It looks GREAT!!!!

I'm new to this website as I do most of my surfing on the samba, but I own 2 914's. Both are 1974's, one has flared fenders and a 2.7 six with triple webers and a five lug conversion and the other one is pretty much stock. Ironically, the grey one was originally the same color as the green one and they are only a few thousand numbers off on production, here they are....

Pics of the engine?

At $900, it's a beauty! How's the rust situation? How's it run/shift? FI or carbs?

I'd put a nice orig front valence on, and refinish the alloys. White and original for a 73 looks great.

Rust is very minumal. Longitudes are good, floor has very little surface rust, hell hole is good. Only place i found that is of concern is the pass inner door jamb in front. hole about size of a quarter. Both front and rear trunks are good.
Motor is bad. I've pulled the motor/tranny and started on rebuild. It's FI but i'm going to switch it over to webbers. PO said the computer was bad.
Unfortunately i think i'm going to sell it. Too many projects and this is the most expensive one.
Only real thing bad on this car is that it needs is interior. It has door panels, but needs carpet and seats.
Wanna buy it!

Sounds good, but somethimes I think I have one white 73 too many already!

The '73 sleeping in the carport.




And the '74 on a fall Sunday am cruise.

Made me look twice ...cool...Nice work

I brought this home a couple months ago. It needs long repair. I'm picking up a donor car tomorrow morning. It's a '74 with a 1.8. At least it was. I have a 2.0 that is almost ready for it.....after the rust is gone.

This is my 1st 914 which I picked up on March 31st.

Good looking 914 Chris, I especially like the fuchs. I sold a set off a 76 once that were accented that way.

This is my new project, bought off of ebay for $1000. Was a charity donation.NOt in bad shape, dents on right side, little rust in trunk and battery tray. Last registered in 1989, not sure why it was parked but the wire to the top of the throttle pedal might be a clue.

Here is my project for the next few years. I have too many ideas that I want to accomplish, but something will come of her. The GOOD thing is....I'm not married or in a relationship. So, I can spend as much time on it and not hear the nagging. But this is going to be a long road.


The downside is that I live in an apartment so I do a lot of the work in the elements. I'm looking to purchase a house to wake the neighbors up

Hey man what kind of rims are those, they are sweet, pretty sure 5 lug right?
if you ever sale them i want dibs!

My '73 2.0 I bought from the original owners son. 68,000 original miles, rust free, full appearance group, Phoenix Red. The car is currently apart and being cleaned, replacing the few items that were damaged or too worn to repair, while the engine gets a once over.

Finally got my 914 out of the garage for some TLC, after 3 month locked up, and a year at the previus owner. See some of the repair work here More pic.

Very nice ...




... but then again, I'm especially partial to white ones

Steven - check with Eddie ... maybe there's some local wheel guys up your way who can construct whatever wheels you want.

I used to get wheels made up at a place down here - 'Perfect Wheel' in Gardena, CA ... but I think they closed up shop a few years ago



On another subject, can you shoot me a pic of your exhaust system? (from under the car) ...

My before and after ..... the 928 in the background in lower picture i have owned from new - 1981!

Still have the MG Midgit....those are cool cars

Nope, rebuilt it from a shell for the wife, but wife couldn't drive it, so sold it -
It was nice, slow as hell though!
