Thought I'd make a quick introduction. I'm a bit of a regular on Rennlist but new to this forum. Several guys on the 914 forum there suggested that I check 914World out and it appears to be a good suggestion. I have several cars. Currently my only porsche is a '96 TT which I love. Also have some american muscle and I've decided that my '68 Chevelle SS just isn't doing it for me so I'm going to look at selling that and begin the hunt for a 914. Its a gorgeous car....all original, fully documented with 37k miles. Just doesn't do it for me like my other cars do.
I'm a bit of a fanatic for originality so will try to focus on an all original car. Might go with a re-paint but since I'm not an expert on these cars and I'm also a bit uneasy when it comes to rust, I'd prefer a car where I know exactly what I'm getting. I think I'll focus on the 2.0 or the 6's although not sure I want to put 6-type money into this purchase. I'm in no hurry...going to take my time to find the right car. Will appreciate any help and education I can find here. Steve |

Good early cars are scarce. Rust has eaten many of them. The 70-71 also have a different steering column and replacement switches are hard to find. You may be able to find a suitable VW replacement that can be made to work. 73-74, 2.0 seem to be the most desirable for some reason. Unless you are after a real -6. Next most desirable/valuable would be a 74 LE model. Lots of good people and fellow PCA members here. Welcome to the madness... |
