In these times where the value of 914s has become so high as to be unreasonable, and too many fussy concours types have entered the arena restoring 914s to such a level that they are un drivable, it is so nice to see one that can actually be driven but is still nice enough for a fairly picky 914 guy like me:
1975 914 zambezi green with buckskin 1.8, original paint never rusted or crashed, gut plenty of original patina 122 thousand miles: some nicks and dings, dash cracked, first gear scratches, rear springs are sagging a bit, needs some shifter bushings, but just runs so great with the 1.8 afc fuel injection and heavier bumpers that make it feel more stable. The blaupunkt am fm isn't bad either! My new driver! NOW I do not need to worry about a door ding More 914s like this encourage people to drive them every day and not put them away under flannel car covers. |

Wish I had a 1.8 with heavy bumpers to make it feel stable.
I’d give up that go kart feeling in heartbeat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Who are you trying to fool? |

If you have ever driven a 75 76 down the interstate and then one of the earlier ones, you will instantly know the difference
