I will be there. I believe it's the 25th anniversary. I used to attend even when I didn't own a 914. Found 1 deep six 8 yrs ago 75 dollars

I'm off to Orange County to see my son and DIL and drop off the 100 year old family baby bed. It's been used by nearly every baby in the extended family since my grandfather built it in the early 1900s. Some things are even more important than a swap meet!

Sorry I'll miss seeing you all.

I used to go evry year as I lived in the Sunnyvale and always had a great time. This is a Porsche event put on by Parts Haven with a concourse area and of coarse the maine event is the parts swap with big attendance, it's not just 914 though as I rember they had a number of 914 people attend and I rember seeing a 914 with a 928 v8 transplant! Wish I could make it but I have a 7 year old boy who just loves Air Port days here in Ukiah.

Yeah a little to short of notice for me. I went once & it is a cool event. Probably would have tried to work it out to go. It's about a little over 9 hour drive. So I am going to pass. Although I wish I could make the trip down. I've got plenty of crap (I mean rare 914 parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) ) I'd like to get rid of

Here are some pictures from today's swap meet.

This is the entrance road to Parts Heaven, whose building you can see on the right side of the picture
Attached Image

If you want to park in the Porsche car corral, you have to pass this check point and have your car deemed worthy
Attached Image

As is always the case, more 911s showed up than any other type of car. There was a big delivery truck taking up space in the corral so some of the 911s took to parking in the middle of the street.
Attached Image

I got there early, but not as early as Mike Bellis. His 914 was the only car in the corral when I arrived at about 7:15am.
Attached Image

First of two 550 Spyder tribute cars in the corral ...
Attached Image

My 914 ...
Attached Image

Pretty wild color combo on this 911
Attached Image

Marty Yoeman's 914

The second 550 Spyder in the corral

Down in the swap meet area was this tangerine(?) 914. The owner originally had the 'take me home' sign on his car but had to remove it because too many people were asking how much he wanted for the car. It wasn't for sale.
Attached Image

But I believe this 914 was for sale. Never did find the owner ...
Attached Image

This beauty was also down in the swap area, but it wasn't for sale
Attached Image

Check out the carbon fiber looking vinyl wrap on the roof. It looked incredibly nice! The owner said the vinyl wouldn't stick to the rain gutters, so he filled them in with bondo before doing the wrap.
Attached Image

Now here's a crazy custom touch. The owner took a Campbell's soup can, cut it in half, painted it orange, and added a Porsche crest to make his own wheel caps
Attached Image

The owner also custom made his center console and back pad
Attached Image

The engine bay ... super clean
Attached Image

Sandy (Seaside6) arrived just as I was getting ready to leave. Here is his factory six
Attached Image

Another 914 that parked outside the corral
Attached Image

In the concours section there were two 914s competing. First is a beautiful Bumblebee
Attached Image

Next is this '70 914 that won last year's competition
Attached Image

a 356 competing in the concours
Attached Image

and another
Attached Image

let's finish off with another view of the 550 Spyder

I too looked at this 914; it is beautiful. Looked like all original paint except the passenger's rear quarter looked as if it had been repainted. The owner was a nice guy and offered that info up. He also said that he has only had the car about 1 year, after getting it from his dad. He was asking mid $40K when I spoke with him. I love the way this 914 sits. For me that is the perfect ride height.

Thanks, this was my car, and yes, we were just having fun with the vintage sales sign, it wasn't really for sale, but when people persisted, I would mention the Excellence article with the similar original paint orange 74 1.8 car, where I think it said he turned down something like 45K for his car, and that I would do the same, as I couldn't replace it for that. My friend went over the whole car with his paint gauge, the entire car was from 2.1 to 3.6 thousandths, the part I thought was touched up he thought was just a flaw from the factory, after all these cars weren't perfect when new like today's cars are.

Fun day, but no one wanted my spare top... if anyone in the bay area wants a cheap spare top, let me know.

To top it off... I had to borrow a jack from Tom Amon and pound my tranny flange back in. Lucky for me he had tools. It's time to chop up this car again... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The tools were a jack, a jackstand and a BIG AXE.

Mike's car did a nice job of marking its territory. I think Mike secretly likes having problems so he has an excuse to work on his car ...
