QUOTE(garyb @ Dec 31 2012, 08:21 PM)  QUOTE(Tom_T @ Dec 31 2012, 07:48 PM) Both very nice examples! Gary - why not bring it up to the PCA Zone 8 Concours before the Annual Banquet in Pomona on 1/19 for a dry run? I'll be judging there, but sans my 914. Then later in 2013, make sure to bring it to the OCR on in June, and LAR at the Greystone Mansion is always great. Also, your color combo appears on this book cover.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Happy New Year to All! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// Thanks Tom, I'll take it to the Concours at Pomona. How do I sign up. Thanks Gary Gary & anyone else interested in the upcoming PCA Zone 8 Concours, Banquet &/or Justice Brothers Museum Driving Tour, here are the links & info. from our Z8 Rep Tom Brown, see below.

QUOTE(garyb @ Dec 31 2012, 06:03 PM) Just wanted to share some photos of the 1974 Porsche 914 i just bought. Hope to have it at some of the local shows this spring and summer. Its in brand NEW condition, looks and drives like it just came off the show room floor. If you have a Delphi green 914 please share your photos. Thanks Gary (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Looks like new for sure! Delphi Green(L99A) was considered a custom color and only available in 73~74 for an additional cost of $209. I have the window sticker from my Dad's original dealer purchase, but Mom named the color "urine yellow" because he bought the car without asking her first! Enjoy it and take care of that dayglow paint! |

Enjoy it and take care of that dayglow paint! It's actually not a custom color per se - Porsche just charged extra for metallic paints & black, as do some mfgrs today. The other solid non-metallics were no up-charge. Custom colors were paint code 99 where you pick any color to match customer sample, or 98 for any other Porsche offered color code from any MY - with the former most expensive ($450 in 73 MY IIRC) & the latter was a bit less ($350 IIRC). And this "urine yellow" color as your Mom calls it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) is back again - or close to it - as seen on some new Beetles in the past few years!

that dude probably started reading all of our posts, got an idea of how much work it is to keep that car in shape! I saw this car for sale somewhere online a few months ago, can't remember where or for how much. She's a beaut...
I'm partial to green too, I have a Cyber green (New beetle color) ''65 split bus, and a legend lime '06 Mustang. this would have been a perfect addition to my green collection. has anyone here heard this car run? |

But enough, I digress. Gorgeous 914! Congrats on that buy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |
