Hi John @14carrot , not sure about the Lüft shows and their schedules. Patrick Long, Jeff Zwart and Howie Idelson are the show's founders and they are the key people in arranging these shows. I (just like you) find out via media as far as dates & place . "Hopefully" they start right in with an East Coast/ USA show...as originally planned for North Carolina (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

QUOTE(AFyrigos @ Jan 13 2021, 02:33 PM)  Hello team... new member and just found out that there could be future events here in Mont-Tremblant ! Here are some pictures of my 914s (both Yellow 1974, 2.0l)... one running and one in project mode ! Hi Andreas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) those look like a pair of nice cars you've got there. I hope our friends in Quebec will post in to say hi. It would be great to do more events at Mont Tremblant. Please stay tuned. |

Say hi to Tim and Damien.
Tim has this blue '73 and Damien is now the proud owner of this LE Bumblebee which his dad bought new.   The 914s continue to crawl out of the woodwork in Ontario. |

In case you missed it,
Daily Driver video is Fantastic. I’m sure you will relate. The best yet to really capture the 914 experience. I loved it! Good emotion humor and honesty. 20 minutes, great with a beer.gif “ feedback on the steering wheel is like a fire hose, i’ve got enough information can you turn it down a little bit please” Link to 914 World video page |

Ethan and I will give it an inspection tomorrow AM. |

Hi everyone,
I got a referral from John Tipper to join the group. I have a 1970 914. It was pretty mangled when I got it, and far from original, but I am slowly restoring it to a decent shape. Rebuilt the transmission, upgraded the 1.7L to 2056cc, and have been working on smaller projects like suspension, etc. Look forward to meeting everyone as the weather warms up. Car is currently on the road and the only thing that got me through COVID lockdown. Will post some pictures once I figure out how to setup a link or attach an image. Its giving me grief. Cheers, Brad |

The car spent a considerable amount of time in BC before being in Ontario, but don't know much more than that. Also has the rear defroster windows. Has a replacement engine (from a '72), and has all sorts of strange mods such as GT fiber glass fenders on the rear, but not front. I love my 914, but its clearly had many different owners with different visions.   Question for the group - does anyone know who owns the red 914 that is often driven through Orangeville? Has the luggage rack on the back. Have spotted him multiple times, but am always in my Jeep and never at a stoplight. |

Just got home with a one owner car, (green) about 65000 miles if the odometer is right. Sticker on the plate says it was last licensed in 1981. Back of the car says it's a 1.7 but I haven't checked the block for codes yet. Side shift transmission. No rust in the hell hole! Anyone up on VIN numbers?

PS, no need to check VIN. It already tells you that it is a '73, which you already knew as it is the only year for 1.7 and sideshift.
I could be interested in the entire drivetrain if the engine turns. What a shame. Willow green is one of my most absolute favourite colours. Ahhh, so white originally? Good windshield? Looking for an original. Surprising that there could be a ton of good parts on there. Looks like a pretty light restoration for a Canadian car. Did I see this previously advertised at Beverly Hills Car Club? |
