Have you seen my 914?, Options

[Ace Le Count]

Hi everyone, I have a question. I bought my first 914 when I was 10 or 11 years old from a man named Monte. (This was in 2013) He had a yellow 914 that supposedly had a Subaru conversion. I also believe that it had Dan Gurney type mags. I paid him $150 for the '71 914 rolling shell. I traded it a few years later for a vintage RC10 and an RC10T. The man that bought it from me was named Sean or Shawn. (I'm not positive how his name was spelled.) My 914 had a little bodywork done to it, had the steel VW-sport wheels, about a gallon of bondo per panel, rust in every nook and cranny, and was missing the engine, transmission, front windsheild, passenger seat, etc, and it had the word "most" spray painted on it. It was mostly painted in a faded red with spots of primer. It was painted many different colours, so it could have changed by now. It also had an Edelbrock sticker next to the right taillight. I'm just wondering if Monte or the man that bought it from me is on 914 world, or if anyone knows the fate of my 914. I'm trying to locate it. Thanks for reading!!!!

Good morning. I can't remember your name but this is Monte and I am on 914 World. I have wondered about you and that car several times. I was blown away with your enthusiasm for 914's when you bought that car from me. I couldn't resist selling it to you. I can't remember what my asking price was but after rolling it around in your brain and inspecting the car top to bottom as a 10 yr old you looked me straight in the eye and said " I'll give you $150 for it" which made both me and your dad laugh our butts off. I accepted your offer and told you okay but only if you bring it back after you get it running and show it to me. After you and your dad left I went in the house and told my wife " I just got my ass out negotiated by a 10 yr. old". When I brought you the car you had drawn a pretty accurate 914 picture for me with a thank you note for me selling you your first car. I kept it for a long time. I don't know if I still have it but if I do I'll get you a copy. Good to hear from you, remind me of your name. I hope you find the car and still bring it by one day when it is running. As for the Yellow Suby car, it is still my DD. It is Hot Rod Black now with the Dan Gurneys, top, bumpers, and skirts painted orange. I am getting ready to go on the Corona Rally June 6. I work at and drive it to Orielly Auto Parts on 7th and La Paz 3 days a week. I don't know the whereabouts of your car. I would talk to a guy named Vince in Hesperia. He parts them out and always has parts for sale on craigslist. If anyone knows of the car he might. Good luck. I am on my way to work so if you respond you won't here from me until tonight. Monte
