For the first time, a 914 was judged best of class in competition with six beautiful 356 models. FINALLY people are seeing the beauty of the 914!
Great weekend many people stopped and intently looked at the car and everyone loved it even with the white and orange color scheme!

got pix?

& congrats!


BTW G- that's Phoenix Red, not Orange

and

Yes, pics please!

Funny,
At the annual NER PCA concours one year, there was only one 914 and about ten 356's...
the 914 was special with I think 17k on the clock...documented, original, etc etc...and it was really clean.

Because there was only one 914, they put it in the 356 class.
It won.
the 356 guys were in such an uproar that they have not come to the event since...really a shame to have a concours, at a car museum, and every year only one or two 356's show up and I am typically driving one of them...a damn shame...

Rich

pics very soon!

Congrads!

Congrats!!!

When I called to place an order on Saturday I was told that all the tech people were out at a "show". Pretty cool it worked out well for you.

RESPECT!

Nice work, George !

George,

You REALLY need to post some pics.

We've been part-time residents on HHI for way over 25 years, but somehow always miss this event.

Went there ONCE in the 914 - high summer - too much heat! I could say the exact same thing for New Orleans - kidneys were turned to puree!

wow, do those win the award for biggest pics ever posted??

Yup... what do I win?

An exemplary car George, Kudos well earned.

You know posting such big photos leaves you vulnerable to critique. I am exstatic to see the fog lamp insert properly oriented on your dash!

That is purdy.

George;

Is that the famous Auto Atlanta combination fire extinguisher/wheel chock you're using???

Hey George, is that the carpet kit that you guys are making now? Details?

required to be placed in that exact location for the judging!!!!!!!!! EVERY CAR!

yup that is the exact style of factory carpet we are making. Of course the limited edition has a NOS kit installed, but our repro looks just like it.

Those photos shocked me as well!!!!
One would think that such a so called "perfectly prepared car" would not have the following obviously flaws!

1. Em brake needs touchup and a new all black button
2. Glove box vinyl needs to be rolled around the lower lip of the door
3. Speaker grilles need the black screen installed
4. Horn pad needs a touch up
5. Owner needs to get the proper stripes that lap over the fender lips

computer genius of the day. Especially at your age!!!!!!!!

Congrads George. Great job on the resto! No standard size bolts under
the seat this time?

is that a chrome tip on the exhaust?

good!!!!!! That is how those so called "factory" 2.0 stock Dansk mufflers come these days. A nice "downtown" touch! We beggers cannot be choosers these days! Oh for the old days of being to be able to purchase every 914 part new one wanted to afford!!!!!!!

Nice work George. It's about time they started looking at 914 and other Porsches.

Thanks George, now I know to what standards the Creamsicle I have will require.

Congratulations!

Do you know the point score?

here are some pics and a nice writeup! The 914 is the star here not me!!!!!!

George I noticed the charcol canister by the battery tray. Is that a mid-late 74 move from the front?

George, where was the event held? Damn nice LE, ny the way.

Recently sold the place on North Forest Beach & hated doing it, but people are still paying stupid prices down there.

PM me about the cycle, if it's available. May have some interest.
