August 1970.
I had been in country for about two weeks, 1st Battalion, 72nd Armor, Camp Rose, Korea, a few miles below the DMZ. (We used air cooled engines there, Continental AV 1790, V-12, 810hp, 1250 ft/lb. Would be a tight fit into a 914). Thousands of miles away, in another universe, 4702911981 came off the assembly line - and started to rust. I bought her for $1,500.00 in 1977, drove her for many years, and started the restoration in March, 2011. Here's the result if the embed works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uijxgetityQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a4QcUnSiW0 Lot of people here on the World helped and deserve credit. SirAndy of course, Capt. Whitesell, Dr. Evil, Len Hoffman (heads were a work of art). Pelican, John Larson, and a bunch of vendors. Thanks to all. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Yea! Another '70 model back on the road. I love your car and I'm glad to see another 914 saved. Do you have a build thread here? Would like to see more of this car and info on its restoration. I'm close to having my '70 model back on the road...it has been just over a year on jack stands.
