I'm sure your all aware of the rumors. Yes I did make a 1664 mile trip to pick up a car that is equal in condition to any Minnesota rust bucket I could find right here at home.
Well, here's the story. I gave Britt such a bad time when he bought this car I felt I owed him at least a cup of coffee for being such a good sport about it. The assignment: I'm thinking about repairing this car. (believe it or not) It is a strange color of pink. Fushia, hot pink, something like that. I would like everyone to search the corners of the internet, old mags, porsche ads, and whatever else you can think of. This car may have been ordered for someone's 16 year old daughter, Playboy Magazine, Mary Kay, or maybe it was just a mistake. But It would be interesting to learn about the origin of the car. It may never be repaired, but it will be interesting to see what we can turn up on this car. I'm going to send for the build info..... what do you call it... and where do you send your money....? This should be interesting. I'll post more photo's later. Attached image(s) |

Ok, So when I was a kid back around '74/'75 or so, I took a family
weekend trip with my parents from Nashville, Tn and we went up to the "Land between the Lakes" area (Lake Barkley). For those not aware, its an area in the western part of Ky just north of TN and just south of Illinois. Anyway, when we got there and parked in a wooded picnic area, we saw a hot pink kind of fuschia 914. I remember it being so bright it almost hurt your eyes to look at. My mother kind of made fun of it saying all it needed was some white polka-dots. I remember being fascinated by the color. I'd never seen a car (any car) that color before. It was like the color of a hot lipstick. It definitely wasn't a 75 or 76 as it didn't have the big rubber bumbers. My dad had a 71 and it seemed to look fairly similar- but I wasn't very familiar with the car and it was so long ago I can't remember much more. It did have the black side vinyl panels unlike my dads which had painted sail panels. I do remember it being the color closer to the small one of the 944 posted by SirAndy. Not sure if its the same car or not, but the area of the country is similar. Has the car lived all its life in the Kentucky area? --- bill |
