I'm new to the 914 but my enthusiasm is great. The photo is of my 1975 1.8. It came with some sort of big bore kit in it. I bought it in May of 2003 and don't have any contact info for the previous owner to discuss what the engine size actually is. It does have a pair of Delorto 45mm's that are seem too large, I think a pair of 38’s or 40’s would have been a better sizing. I will be swapping the venturis out soon and rejetting as it runs considerably too rich as it is. I paid $2900 for it. I've mostly been repairing little things and cleaning it up (new 914-6 clutch, new throttle cable, turn signal and tail light lenses, fixing small electrical problems, window cranks, etc.). The Riviera wheels have also been replaced with a set of Mahles and 195/60 tires since the photo was taken.

I recently (three weeks ago) acquired a white 1976 2.0 complete car with a 72 1.7 engine in it (the 72 1.7 engine has 61,000 miles on the original completely stock engine and is rather anemic compared to the engine that’s in the 75). The 76 seemed like a pretty good deal at $2100. It appears to be a nearly rust free California car, which included the car with the 72 1.7 engine in it (runs very well), the original 2.0 engine complete as an engine to be rebuilt, a set of five Mahle 5.5x15 wheels, a spare set of seats, gages, and a whole bunch of other spare parts that came off the 72 914 that the engine came out of, not to mention a gaggle of receipts for things like turbo tie rods, Bilstein front shocks, Koni rears, a new clutch and pressure plate, braided stainless front brake lines, and too many other things to list.

Neither car is anything special compared to some of the exotic 914's I'm seeing on this web site but they're mine and should provide a boat load of fun as I get into them. They sure are fun to drive! Oh, and I’ve bought every book on the 914 that I could find so far. Please bear with me if I ask a lot of questions in the future.

Best regards to all,
Don

I posted a picture awhile back, but it was a crappy digital shot in my garage. It was a poor compared to the great photography I have seen. Anyway, took this one today and thought it was a cool angle. It was a great day on Cape Cod to drive a 914!

Welcome DBledsoe ... that looks like a really clean car.. the other one you bought sounds pretty decent also. I know of at least 2 other 914's in Boise. One belongs to a guy who builds custom houses in your area.

1974914, nice car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) What kind of muffler is that showing the reddish orange roundy thing on the bottom right? Does it sound GUD?

Thanks! Thats a SuperTrapp hooked up to headers. I find that the traps are a touch on the loud side, but then again so is the color so i guess it goes together just fine!

Brad,

Thank you for the welcome.

A friend here in Boise (works for Hewlett Packard) has a pair of 914's and I've met one other gent while waiting for the wife outside of a store sitting in my 75 914 (his is the green 914 in my avatar). Yesterday on the way to work I found myself following a very nice looking brown 914 and have seen a couple others around town whizzing by, but that's about it. So I know there are several around here but just haven't been able to hook up with them. I was hoping some of them might be on 914 Club dot com but haven't seen any yet.

This is great web site!

Don

The VIN is 4762903546.


Shoot getting close to the end with that VIN.

Did it come fully optioned? Seems like most of the ending cars did.

Send a pic to Mark as I don't think there is a pic of that color yet.

To be honest with you, I'm not sure what options were available. The guy that sold it to me told me that he had basically put a new (used) interior in it. It's got striped seat pads, and he was sure to point out to me that I had "real" gauges in the center console (ie, they have actual numbers on them and are not just idiot gauges).

The carpet isn't great, and the dash is cracked so I keep it covered. It had the original steering wheel on it, and that was falling apart but there was a fully functional if slightly beat up older Momo wheel in the boot, so I put that on instead. I didn't like the original wheel anyhow - too big. The plastic shift knob was broken and kept coming off in my hand when I went for second gear, so I put a nice leather Momo shift knob on (installed it myself! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).

It's not quite a total beater, but it is definitely not a show car.
