I kick myself time and again for not buying a 300 acre property up on the Pend Orielle River when I had the chance (and could afford it) ... It had a 1000 ft stretch of beach right on the river too

Did you paint or powder coat the wheels?

Here's a throwback:


Dad with his 914 by LanceCriminal86, on Flickr

My dad with his 1972 1.7 in Tangerine! He got it in early '73 when they were pushing out the '72s. If only he knew about the tail shifter vs side shifter and that the 2.0 was available!

This is the 914 that started it all! Still trying to figure out if he has the VIN anywhere. He sold it to a guy named "Charlie" in California some time in the 80's, and aparently the guy had taken good care of it as he got to drive it years later when they met again. Aparently Charlie had some kind of ailment (Parkinsons or Alzheimers?) so I'm unsure what happened to her after that. Anyone happen to pick up a '72 1.7 in Tangerine, with Tan interior sometime in the 80's or 90's matching this story?

Great Pic !!

Rattle cans.... VW L91 (factory steel wheel colour) and then lacquer clearcoat...

Nice looking with the perfect stance.

Good looking Marine Lieutenant right there! God bless the United States Marine Corps!

I wish I knew more about my teener's story. It's '72, 1.7L that was originally Irish Green. I picked it up last August in Spotslyvania, VA where it had sat for 10+ years on the property of the PO's father (who finally convinced his son to get rid of it). All I know is the PO picked it up in California sometime in the early 90's when he was in the Air Force.

My 914 (and teenage son) shortly after I picked it up. Jackstand there as I had to remove the brakes which had frozen up on all four wheels.

Looks good! Much better shape than our first one was. We had the Riviera's but with the Fuchs style polished/black color.

Those look more like the original FormulaV wheels ... a bit rarer than the run of the mill Riv's

Is that what they are (FormulaV)? I've been meaning to post a thread asking a) what they are and b) advice on what to do with the paint the PO put on them. Not a big fan of them currently.

There might be another Blue one coming across the Pond (to England) soon

Just finished the restoration and took her out for some glamor shots. 73 1.7 has been in the family since 1981. Many thanks to Craig Laughlin at Camp 914 and Mike at 914 Rubber, wouldn't have happened without you guys.

Beautiful shots! And a really nice vantage point of the Columbia River Gorge! I've got similar shots, but it's just me on the motorcycle actually looking like I rode the 570 miles the day before and another 300...

Nice

What color is that? ... don't think I've ever seen that before

Delphi Green Metallic was an upgrade in 73

It was a great day in the Gorge.. Here's my favorite but it's more about the falls than the car L.Click to view attachment

And that's not even the BIG falls! Still beautiful... maybe I need to go there again..
