Nice looking find!

Did you have to redo the fuel system since it sat for so long without running?

The car is Bahia Red and that is the 2008 Parade in Charlotte. Believe it or not, I didn't have to do anything to the fuel system besides the fuel filter. I was shocked, but the car ran good. The guy drained the gas out of it, I was lucky.

My '72 914 which I just purchased yesterday while looking at a Beetle the owner had (which I also bought. Oops) Longs are decent, floorpan has been redone with factory panels, and redone nicely. It even came with paint already mixed up.

Sorry for the terrible iPhone pic, I'll be posting more taken with a proper camera.

Came with a complete '73 2.0 parts car (minus the interior and glass, as it had a bad fire inside), but the engine and most mechanical parts survived, as well as 2 truck loads full of spares (now I really can't move in my garage). It also has a nice Monza exhaust.

It's my first 914, but I'm definitely not new to them or the air-cooled world, I worked at Mike's 914s for 2 years doing restoration work and repairs on them, and I own a bunch of Beetles (currently 12)

Plans are to keep it pretty much original (those rims have to go, ditto with color matched sail panel trim!), and maybe have a bit of fun autocrossing it at some local events this summer.

I'm glad I found this site, looks like an incredible resource with some great people! (And some REALLY nice cars!)

Congrats on your first 914. I had a super beetle, a kharman Ghia and a 71 bus before I purchased my first 914. I don't look back with any regret.

Welcome to the club. Some great cats hangin' out in these alleys.

Thank you! Sadly the weather has been too crappy to actually start working on it- but that'll happen soon enough. I need to bribe my friend who I'm doing some work on his '71 911 to let me use some of his shop space (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

my first 914, '74 2.0 I bought a couple weeks ago.
Runs and drives. I love driving it. Only conplains so far is:
1: yet another 5 speed with no cup holders for my coffee. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
2: not enough room between the steering wheel and shifter for my leg.
