New Guy Options

[WAKman]

Hello all,

I'm new to the board, live in the Seattle area. I'm a longtime Porsche guy (911s, 944s, Caymans, a 928), and have been interested in 914s for a long while. Glad to see there are several folks on the board from in the area. But--how come I never see your 914s on the street? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Price-wise, it looks like the 914 is headed he way of the air cooled 911s, which is kind of a shame. I miss the days of old when a nice air-cooled 911 was a $15-20K car, and a nice 914 could be had for peanuts.

Oh well . . . I'll keep hanging around watching others until the right 914 comes along.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. I looked at Kelty360's car, and it's beautiful. Alas, it's far too original and nice for what I want (and out of my price range). My plan is to build a mild hot rod, as I am currently in the process of doing with my 1985 911.

Tom, I'm a long-time PCA member. It's definitely been worth the money all these years!

Yeah... tell us more about the 911 - and check out those planes in the background!

It's a 1985, 108K, Seattle car all its life, very nice shape. I have done a cleanup of the engine. I also added the sports seats, reupholstered with houndstooth inserts. I'm sort of going through the car section by section, cleaning/painting/refinishing parts as I go. The airplanes are at Paine Field, near my house, and are a B-25 that is part of a local flying museum, and a B-52 that was being dismantled for movement to another museum.
