Hey all,

Today, June 10, 2014, I bought my first 914. It is a 1974 1.8, silver.

My first posts on 914 world were in a thread dedicated to my hunt for a 914. It can be found at the following link:

Many, many people here provided a massive amount of fantastic information. I have studied, read, and (hopefully) learned the very basics of 914s.

Now that I own one, I will have a million more detailed questions, and I hope to keep things documented in this thread.

First, a few photos for you:

^^^ Maybe so. I bet this car hasn't had a front plate since 1987 when the front bumper was hit.

I "thought" I found a solution, but no go..... there's a company in Irvine, CA that has a web site for plastic reproduction plates. I went though all of the ordering process, and when I got to the end to pay, Pay-Pal rejected it. I called the listed phone number and it's disconnected. I think it was an illegal business and they got shut down.

Maybe you are right about the classic car thing... I do know that recently they've been handing out more no-front-plate tickets. Revenue generation I guess.

I bought a car in 1988 and sold it in 1994, and never put on EITHER the front or the back plate in all that time, and never once got a ticket.
