Picking up a 70 914 2056 today in San Diego and headed to PA over the next seven days. Me and another fellow enthusiast are in flight as we speak and pick the car up this afternoon. Should be the trip of a lifetime for both of us.
This is a rebirth of a love taken away in 1989 when someone collided with my 72 2.0. So stoked about this car! So follow along on our XC adventure as I will be posting pics and videos along the way! Pics at My Webpage Videos at My Webpage |

Well guys, as Jim mentioned we had a rough start. Went to fuel up and the car flooded, surely my fault, and we killed the already aging battery. After having a replacement dropped in by AAA, we were off towards our first destination, the Mohave desert and Las Vegas. Unfortunately due to the delays we it was dark by the time we hit the desert. But, we did get some experience with the car and understanding of the power this car makes thanks to the long straight aways in eastern CA. The car has a superior suspension and the power to boot. But the tail shift tranny flat out sucks. A lot of slop in the shift linkage too. Bit with a little finesse and love we made it into Las Vegas tonight and having a little fun along the way. I've never been here before so this is truly a treat. Tomorrow morning we head out again trudging our way across America in a 42 yr old4 vehicle and hoping for a better day. This is my 25 th straight hour without sleep and I'm ready for sleep. Hopefully tomorrow and the remainder of the trip hold better days for the road ahead. Pics tomorrow night and hopefully some video too!
