Thanks, it's funny they called it Phoenix Red, it's really more orange than red. It was not the color I was looking for, but once I saw it I was hooked.


Phoenix Red was a marketing name for 74. It is the exact same paint code and color mix as as Signal Orange for 73.

@Betty has had a Phoenix Red 74 for 34 years. When she first bought it, she hated the color. She rationalized it by saying "You can't really see the color from inside...." Right after she test drove it.

We need a hooked emoji.

Hmmm, I did not know that! I have a Phoenix Red 73 and love the color - orange - I'm not a "red" car fan in general. So in 73-74 were there two colors with the same name or two names for the same color? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Two names, same color. Signal orange in 73 = Phoenix Red in 74.

It's a marketing thing.

Not to be nit-picky but actually the Phoenix Red = Tangerine (also known as blood red on other models), right? I have both Signal Orange and Tangerine cars, and the Tangerine is way closer to what Phoenix Red looks like... while Signal Orange is almost a pastel.

@Jett - I rarely look at this thread but it popped up in the "View New Posts" this morning. Those are absolute beauties. So what are the details (years, engines, colors, etc.)?? Part of me just wants to be able to identify some of the more rare paint colors, which you seem to have?

Also...name/gender/breed/age? lol

@SavingManuals

Thanks for the kind words. The middle car is a 73 Delphi Green 2.0., The others are a 75 Palma Green 2.0, and a 77 911 Coppa Florio 2.7.

Three year old boarder collie named Cosmo. Serious OCD, good at frisbee and swimming, but amazing at agility trials, with almost no training. Cosmo is our third border collie, the fellow in my avatar is “Jett”, our first, who passed at 18 years old, so we expect to have at least 15 more years with Cosmo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

cheers

Hello All!
This is my first post, and this is Pumpkin. Acquired 4 days before Halloween 2020.
1972 Porsche 914/4 with a 2.7L flat-6 swap (from ’77 911S), Weber carbs, 915 transaxle with LSD and Wevo sideshift kit, and tons of other goodies. A friend of ours (Hi Garm!) had the car built by TRE Motorsports in Van Nuys (Hi Dave!). I was originally looking to build my own 914, but when this beast became available, I couldn’t resist. It’s my first Porsche, first air-cooled, and first mid-engine car. It’s loud as hell, fits me like a glove, and I love the crap out of it. My goals are to finish the interior, keep it in one piece, and enjoy it in its current configuration for as long as possible before it gets boost and fuel injection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
Glad I finally got around to posting on here – I'm super excited to get involved in the 914 community!
Cheers,
AJ

Hi AJ - From one new guy (got my 914 on 12/31) to another, welcome! As I am planning on a 911 transplant, I would like to hear more details about your car - and more pictures are always appreciated! Cheers, Paul.

Thanks Paul! I'll be interested to see what direction you take yours in, as there are many delicious flavors of -6 conversions!
I will be starting a build thread soon which will have more details. I have some projects planned for it, plus there are many trick bits in the car which I think are worth sharing. Until then I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Meanwhile I'm learning more every time I crawl under it.

Wheels are 3-piece Braid Serie 1R 15x7 that I believe were custom drilled for 4x130 bolt pattern (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Just got mine delivered. It's only a 1.7L '73. Love the color and turn key. Can't wait to take out more frequently once the weather in Toronto gets warmer.Attached Image
