-Rusty

hehe clearly not listing names but that sure looks like Mark De Bernardi in pic # 2 AKA McMark but I could be wrong b/c wrong angle to see pony tail

Good group of cars again. Nice job on this Rusty!!

I voted for #2. Truely a 914 with a long history. That car has been a test bed for several modifications including an early fuel injection conversion. I know my car is posted here. Thanks for the nomination, but there are many other real 914's that are far more deserving of the car of the month honors.

Had to put the vote for #4 URY914 Lightweight. I nominated it, and he's let me drive it (that's me in the picture ) Awesome machine. Jake builds a great motor and with very little weight to push, this flies. Or it would if it didn't have the wing to keep it on the ground.

Thanks Rusty, for creating the C.O.T.M., I always took forward to it

T.C.

What makes a car deserving of car of the month honors, a car and an owner that has been tested to the point of exhaustion and patience. Rick you and the Alien are that.

The Alien just went on a 2,000 mile journey from way up north to the deep south after being frantically put back together after many engine failures with only a handful of miles on it. To me that alone makes it more than most worthy.

The honors shouldn't always go to the garage and trailer queens, but should also be measured by there character and courage.........

Assimilate me.....

I'm so torn on this one...
Really torn.

But I know what I have to do...

We gotta get the McMarks graffiti rat to win so he won't repaint it. Its too cool now!
Zach

Had to go for #2 - Just look at how happy he is. That kind of happiness just has to be rewarded.

#2 It is in use and the pilot is happy...say no more.

I voted #4, time to show off the racing side of the scene.

Out of all the recent polls, this was probably the toughest decision. Ury's Loche Ness Monster looked too cool in this picture to be ignored.

Thanks guys.

Hey, do I get extra points for having owned the car for 29 years???

My car may be a garage queen having logged not many miles over 20 plus years however, I spent 7 years in my shop building it -doing 99% of the work -Bodywork- paint all mechanical -while being told not to bother as it's not a real Porsche or "you mean it's not a six?".

I'm glad to see how times have changed ...oh and I too have owned mine a long time -30 years

I'm honored to be part of the voting.

i see 5 winners - but had to vote #4 : ))

No... but you do get extra points for the big wing I remember the build thread for that and it was fun to watch...

However, since I have nominated Sayegh's car twice and it has been on the block four times I think his car is due this time

I swear to vote for your car next time....

Go 3.6l beautiful black 914. nice work Paul....

Paul's big 3.6 is long overdue for a win....daveyboy

We need more pics of that #1 car.

Two Words:

Ron Jeremy

I agree. All of the cars though embody the 914 spirit. Clean, sexy, fast, and most of all, fun.

We need Picts of the engines, if #1 has a 3.6 it's a no brainer . But it looks like #5 has a radiator in the front, I am partial to V-8's . #3 also not too shabby, Lets get the pictures up, I'm still undesided on the canidates, and the cars too. Don't for get to vote

Auto-Crossers & Racers Unite - Let's get the Vote out for #4 URY Lightweight - Terror of every BMW, Lotus & 911 out there.

T.C.

I need to vote today, because I am on my way to FL for a (2) week vacation.

Clue: I like underdog's & the only one who know how I vote is the button I push.

Tom

Well, when T.C. posted Ury only had 14 votes.... now he has 15...

Radiator? What about a Money shot?

Rick wins my vote, Like I said, I'm partial to V-8's Especially a Porsche V-8.

Tony

You know, you should mount an ashtray, cupholder and a radio in the stock location (well sorta close anyways) and turn up the music when you AX.

That would piss people off even more.
Andy

Here's an engine shot and no, it's not a six....

When they look like yours who cares!

WOW that body work off should have been the shot for the car of the month

I might have voted differently Man what does your car weigh 1500 pounds??

Less

Luv your man!

Wasn't there some kinda contest or something on the old site about how much your car was going to weigh when you were done? Didn't come in around 1300 lbs?

Yes the winner was going to get all my used Sawzall blades. It is under 1300 last time I had it on scales.

I love quotes of quotes of quotes.

We need more photos of #1!

Man I cant get your car out of my head. I am going to take an entirely different route on my 72 (thanks a lot!!! ) ... I am kind of a fat old fart so Making the car weigh in around 1300 pounds is very attractive Me + car = 1500. This will be my dedicated race car so I figure gt5s is just about anything goes for small naturally aspirated displacement so it would rule there + I am sure there are other run groups. I would really like to see some other pictures of your car with the trunk open...

Larry

I still vote for #6

As requested, a few more pictures of car #1. The pictures are not deceiving you. The paint is perfect! Add to that the 3.6 and you are in for a ROCKET ride with a license plate!!! The integration of the modern engine is so complete and subtle that the gauge has a check engine light built into it. The seats are GTS classics with heat! It not only snuggles your ass it heats it up... This is one of the sweetest 914's I have ever seen and Paul is a very nice guy with lots of talent. He has helped me with my car so I wanted to return the favor by nominating him...

Yoiu just know I had to vote for the racing scene!

Just incase anyone hasn't seen the engineering that went into building this car.
