I'm letting the factory borrow it so they can display it in the new museum.

I like that mirror, maybe I should do that with mine..

Snowy Mountain Pass??

COOL!

Close Ferg,
Hwy 130 or the Snowy Range Road...
My "New" favorite road

Yep, that's what I meant... Cool road, really neat area.

Just joined today, but a longtime 914 owner. Original owner of this 1974 Zambezi Green 914-1.8. Bought it off the dealer lot the day after graduating college. Officially a '74, but produced very early in the production year so has some '73 elements, like stitched seat cushions.
Still a-runnin'!

Car looks great! You'll find a few other original owners around here. Check out the Originality forum.

cool, what's the vin# I got a early 74 as well... #357

Thanks. I've been tempted over the years to sell it, but just can't. Still virtually all original; no need to restore it. Take it out for work commuting or Sunday afternoon drives when there are no clouds east of Ohio (in NJ). Hope to start replacing original fuel lines, hoses and a few more things that I've not paid much attention to for the past several years.

Not very early - #9760. Have posted it to the VIN registry listing for 1974. Was nicely surprised at how many early ones are still 'alive'.
Don't know why, but for some reason it's a bit of an oddity, with the stitched seats, variant Appearance Group and alloy wheels, but that's the way it was delivered to the dealer.

Looks great. Is that a reflection on the glass or does it have brown interior? Zambezi with tan or brown is among my favorite combinations

Yes, it has the brown interior. Most all the other Zambezi Green ones I've seen have the tan interiors. Another bit of strangeness that seems to make this one a bit unique(I think, though don't have a thorough feel for all the official combinations).

My 72 2.0 from several events from the 2008 Red Rocks, Big bear run and 2009 WCR

Last one

Very nice!

Its a 1972 not a 76 backdated if your refering to my post, 72 never had a console and thats not a saratoga top. I did go full euro with front and rear lenses and shaved the side markers.

Sorry, I was referring to mine and there were photos that came with it - or at least I was intending too - and then I goofed. My error.

Kinda outlaw for a 76 2.0 - backdated, chromes, moons, chromed decklid, deposit (not console), nardis, saratoga, italian front lenses, etc. photos now included.

Nice!!! I was never a fan of the late bumpers, Your suposed to leave the rubber on the road anyway. You made it your own and thats all that counts

Now if you ever decide to sell that Saratoga top let me know

It's been a while since I have been in this thread. Here is a somewhat recent interior project.

Nice, Travis ... is that the silver car?

Yes!

I love that interior. What is that fabric? I can't tell from the pics. Is it the exact same on the dash face and the doors/seats?

I found the upholstery fabric at a fabric store. I found a small leftover bolt of this pattern - just barely enough to do the interior - I got lucky there.

It is the same for the seats, doors and dash. It took a lot of time and frustration to do the seats, but at least I can say it looks pretty good for doing it myself and it only cost me about $50 to do it.

Here is a close up pic of the checkerboard pattern.

From this weekend

At the Gateway Museum in Colorado.

'73 2.0L Alaskan Blue. Purchased from owner since '74.

He claims that this car was a "Pace Car" from the Indianapolis 500.

(still waiting for the photos. I am guessing Safety Car or something, but still cool if true).

Anyone heard of P-cars as Pace vehicles?

John

Very nice John! I was looking forward to seeing that car! Looks good!
