I have exchanged emails with the original owner of my 914 a couple of times a year since I bought it in 2014. He had owned it for 41 years. He sold it to someone who sold it to me just 2-3 months later so Jim and I represent about 48 years of ownership.
Jim is a great guy who took amazing care of the car. He, his partner and son drove five hours from Minneapolis to our place in Ephraim WI. Had a great time chatting and going to dinner with them. |

The original owner of my '74 2.0 lived in Massachusetts where she sold it to the second owner, Alan, who took it to New Mexico where it lived from '77-'05 when Oscar ( @ValcoOscar ) bought it for his wife, who later decided she wanted a Boxster. Oscar put it on ebay where I found it in Dec. '05 and drove it from SoCal to Seattle in Jan. '06.
I contacted Alan who filled in details about the engine and transmission rebuild he performed in '92. Periodically, he emails me to check up on the car. Just last week I was able to tell him that the car is running great and now only gets used on dry days. |
