Here is my first restoration, 74 super beetle painted Porsche Murano Green with a mostly Berg engine 1776 and a full sun roof. It was sold a while ago...

Yes, that is my car on the Colonial Parkway between Williamsburg and Yorktown.
I did buy it from a guy in VA beach about two years ago. My wife calls it my 40th Birthday Present

Yes it's a real numbers matching 67' S, has original 4.5" Fuchs and all. Just not painted the original color. Someday it will be restored to its original Polo Red. It was actually running, but not very well with all of the rust in the gas tank, and thankfully it was sitting in a garage on concrete.
One of many projects to tackle when I retire in a few years.

Dominic is THAT your car ? Did you get it from someone at Va beach ? I ask because I think I know that car....VERY well, from several years ago. Last I heard it was sitting in the last owners yard because the carbs went to poop.

Yup that's the car. Too cool. I know her well Nice to see it being treated right again

El Riviera! I love it! Thats a great idea. That would look really cool. I've always thought the front end of a 65 is one of the best of the era and grafted on to a camino would make a sweet truck. Good luck with that. Send or post some pictures when it gets underway, I'd love to see it. Paul S.

my next project (my highschool ride)

my daily(the corrado)

my just sold

my manliest ride

My chevy, 420hp and a 5-speed, its fun and LOUD...

NICE! What 5 speed ya run'n?

ok

e92 m3
997 turbo
x5

and a 914-6 with the mahle's


very nice

TKO 600, its great...

Ben-
I read this and thought, wow, someone else has exactly the same cars I do- how cool is that. Then I realized that I'm a dumbass and didn't see the quote... probably why it took me all afternoon to do a tune up (those points were a bear...)

This is my only other fun car.
1986 944 turbo, just turned 100k miles. All stock except for the late model Porsche CDR210 radio. This is Corpus Christi at sunrise in August 2008.

Here's the only picture that I have of Eeyore. Usually, I am on the inside:

This was probably 8 or 9 years ago.

A nother .:R32 owner! I wonder if I know him...

My 914 is my DD, so these are my only other transportation:

The good news is that I get really good MPGs with these!

Hey man, can you use the carpool lane with those?

I have always been concerned about driving on freeways with tunnels.

Yep, you guessed it. I fear getting "Carpool Tunnel Syndrome"...







(sorry...)

I love the 1004!!

My folks had one long ago, and actually had to...<choke> abandon it!!! I still cry a little about that one... It was before I was around, and they were driving across the country, the head cracked, and they (apparently) didn't have many options at the time, so they left it... In Denver. So where the heck is it?? :-)

-Josh2

Looks like those could use a restoration thread?

Time to represent the other Karmann Products!
The Vert actually has priority over the 914, sorry guys



these two cars mark my 30 and 31st air cooled vehicles. Then there's the 944, Boxster, Scirocco 16v, and a couple of Nissan 4x4s. (I'm 36)

My other cars



and of course The NARB

Thats Team NARP's Trailer in the backgournd

My fancy car....doesn't drive on the street anymore. The super fancy articulation ramp came with my property and eventually went to the junk yard.

lol.. i wish I had that garage lol

just the rsx and 914 for me

It doesn't look like much, but it's been through water above the bumper. And it'll put some alot of trucks 10 times it's price to shame on a trail. And it gets me to work in the snow. I really need to remove the sway bars and install some on the 914.

My Riv is too far gone to ever restore. Plus No Title. I got it free with 2 other 68 Riv's I bought to restore one. So After I finally take the front end and certain interior pieces out, you or anybody else can have the rest for free.

I can't wait for the El Riviera

T.C.

Not my picture, but I've been enjoying one of these for the last year or so...

I forgot to post my parts chaser. Nice way to treat my Touring. At least I was hauling a 928 donor engine for the Alien.

Wow, gotta say I'm impressed with some of these 'other' cars. TRHerald, as a fellow Calgarian, we should connect some time and yap about your new toy.



I'm a bit of a Karmann fan also, here are my two other Osnabruck creations that will share garage space with my 914-6 conversion project when she's done this spring...

Long time family member, 65 VW Karmann Ghia 1500S (Type 34)

I have had the orange 71 Ghia for about a year, it is my driver every day to school. I even put some snow chains on it recently to get around! Oh, the horror! Don't worry, we don't salt the roads (yet). It is a great car, I stay on top of the rust.

The Bus I just bought, it's a strong running 1977 Westfalia with a lot of dents and rust that I am pulling and cutting out. It's pretty ugly but I am enjoying learning how to do bodywork, welding, etc.

And then there's the 914...but you know all about those.

my toys

That is fuchin' sweet!

I just don't understand why you guys feel the need to have so many cars I get a D.D. and a 914, but what's with all the others ???????

Bitch, please

You sound like my wife (only nicer). And I just don't understand why she needs so many shoes- can't you only wear one pair at time?

LOL

Thats right! They are just large, really expensive shoes.

He who dies with the most toys wins!!!!

I might not win but I'm not coming in last !!!!!!

I didn't wake up one morning thinking I should buy 2 or 3 vintage cars that day. I kind of grew into it over a number of years. Once you start hanging out in the classic car community, you get exposed to so many cool cars out there in all sorts of different flavours. So how can you have just one? I tell my wife at least I don't have it as bad as Jay Leno.

What I don't really get is the bunch of guys out there who seem to find themselves with 3, 4, 5 or more of basically the exact same model/year/spec of car. If they're not different to look at or to drive, then why have more than one? Seems especially prevalent with Nash Metropolitan owners for some reason... But whatever, to each his own.

Ya , I noticred that about those Nash Metropolitan guys also....

I have a '74 914 2.0 liter... and this...

Looking GOOD!!

Here is one of my newest toys:

my 84 vw scirocco

Fantastic! That was my dream car in highschool, but the insurance was insane - nearly triple what it was for the Rabbit GTI.

What body kit? very clean - like a slightly more arresive 16V kit. LOVE it.

he who dies with the most toys is still died.......... and now your wifes new boyfriend gets to play with it all

Wow that roll cage looks like it is just waiting to knock you out. Interesting car.

Thanks. It's a Zender kit. You're right Scott, slightly more aggressive that the stock 16v. I've had the car since I was 19. You do foolish things when your that age Brett...like build a full rollcage in street car! You'd think I'd be wearing a helmet just to get to the store! Back then I thought I was invincible... That cage is long gone. I do miss how it stiffened up the car..
