Actually I don’t ski but I’ve always thought my old long board would be perfect on my chrome yellow 914. Back in the day no passenger but the nose of my board in the foot well tale hanging out rested on the roll-bar cruising Hwy 17 to Santa Cruz Unfortunately these old knees don’t ski or surf any longer but what a photo shoot, California Dreaming!

Hard to tell in the ad pic below if it could be the back half of the Karo rack holding the board - but very possibly a different single board rack.

And Wes said that he has a long board - which also couldn't work sideways like this guy's short board .... or at least not without taking out cars, trees, pedestrians on either side! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Also note that it's a 1970-72 era 914-6 with the fixed passenger seat & Mahle gas=burner 5-lug allow wheels - & so not a good idea to be wading a real -6 in salt water! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-10181-1618852528.jpg)
.


The reason for my posting it for Wes is that that ad was one of the set of Porsche+Audi USA's "The _____ Porsche" ad series for the 914s back in the day.

This is the "The Schuss Porsche" ad from that USA 914 magazine series, but still not that Karo rack - more similar to the USA sold Piper racks:

.


I'm pretty sure that these are the Karo racks in these German/Euro Porsche Ads, but this wasn't part of that "The _______ Porsche" US/Canada 914 Ad campaign from the 1970s that I noted above.

.

I was saying above for Wes & others - that for those interested in making a 914 display, framed photos, or something -- you can find folks selling classic car magazine ads on evil-bay to make up a poster board, framed display(s), one-off ad, etc. - prices range $5-15+ each.

I plan to do something like that in the future myself.

Some of the others that I recall are: "The Rain Porsche" (Zambezi Green), "The Mountain Porsche" (Bahia Red), "The Sun Porsche" & "The Sun Porsche" (both Yellows), "The Space Porsche" (Marathon Blue). there are probably some others that I'm forgetting too.

IIRC Jeff Bowlsby's Classic 914 website has them in his 914 Ads subsection.

Yup! As I said in my last post above Wes, but I got off onto some "real work/biz" stuff" & didn't finish it before.

Heck - I was always a Body Surfer in San Diego & Huntington Beach - so the ole Duck Feet just went into the rear trunk! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So Wes - since they don't seem to be with the rack that you bought, you'll want to recreate these triangular rubber seals for between the rollbar underside & rack mounting bracket that the Karos & many OEM/Aftermarket Ski & Bike Racks came with to prevent paint scuffing.

I think these are from the set that Cal/Jeff Brinton bought from one of our SoCal guys on here a while back, & it shows the rubber bits that came with the OE new Karo Rack set that my buddy back in the `mid-70's got.

Attached Image
.


You'll also want to get a couple of pairs/sets of the repro rubber plugs that go into the 2 top windshield frame holes where the front bar inserts - since they're either crispy now or long gone, & get at least a spare because they tend to disappear on you in the grass, snow, etc. - speaking from experience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

914Rubber makes & sells them, as does Stoddard, SMC, AA & other parts houses (AFAIK they're all made by Mark/914Rubber).

For reference:
https://www.stoddard.com/91455923910.html

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.stoddard.com-10181-1618874407.1.jpg)
.


And Mark may also have some extra red leather straps from his project to make the repro version of this Karo, to replace any missing from yours (it looked like the front ones were missing).

Rack GB pg 3 (you're on there) -
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...45130&st=40

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-3348-1602835550_thumb.jpg)
.


And if you're not going to use a board bungee from a Yakima or Thule Board Rack to secure your long board, then you can probably have a local Saddle Shop make you up some long board length leather straps for the Karo, as well as to match the needed short straps that you may need for skis.

After all, you are in Ukiah! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Have Fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
