My Dream Car Thread...914 Sex. 56k Naw.

[Elbow]

Yes it's true a 914 is on my top 10 DREAM CAR list. Literally.

[MR2DR]

So that's what it was..

I saw a red one off of N Druid Hills a month or two back and had no idea what it was.

[Elbow]

Yep.

Here is my old one. I only had it for like a month but fell in love with it and had sex with it.

[5spdfrk]

+reps One of my favs too!

[bigdom]

okay so i absolutely love the look of these cars, but i do have one question. why are the pedals so far over to the right? it looks as if you would almost have to kinda sit crooked? is there any specific reason that you know of?

all in all good find, seems like a fun car to build.

They are all the way to the right, you sit crooked, it's hard to get use to, especially with the dogleg gearbox that is VERY hard to use lol.

I don't know if there is a real reason they're like that.

They're fun to be around, it's just hard to find one that's not rusted out and parts aren't that cheap for them.

[integra2die4]

I wouldn't say it would make it into my top 10 list but I've always loved these cars. Every time I talk about them I get made fun of.

[nreggie454]

I love 914s. My dad is the original owner of a '74 914 2.0, but he is still kicking himself for selling his 914-6 GT 20 or so years ago.

[Elbow]

Damn, I would too, a 914-6 these days is gold even as just a rusted down shell.

[quickdodge®]

I have always loved "the poor man's Porsche." But really only in its stock form. Some of them look pretty good with kits and all, but I prefer the stock body. I remember back in 1985 telling everyone that "one day, I will own a Porsche." And I stand by that. I will have one one day. I'm not particular on which one except that I will not take one made after 1989. I prefer the 70s models, though. Later, QD.

[5spdfrk]

Didn't see this one in the ones you posted. Found it on the wiki page for Porsche 914, and it has a GA tag! I love the color on this one.

[Elbow]

Nice!

This one here is a local Athens guy, he has this one which has a 350 V8 in it, an LS1 swapped one which is entirely built ground up really, and a SVX Subaru 6 swapped one. That's actually my old silver one next to the orange one he bought it from me and sold it to someone else who is putting a V8 in it.

[5spdfrk]

The SVX one sounds interesting. Not your typical swap.

[AV8ter]

I think I have ridden in this car before lol. I have been to a 914 meet or two around here. Seen a lexus v8 swapped, and a ej25 swapped one in person.

Har to find in good condition. I have wanted a cremesicle one for the longest time.

[Alan®]

My favorite one was one that I saw a while back with an STi Swap

[EJ25RUN]

When i attend HSR meetings, it's always great to see the 914s fight the 60's and early 70's 911s.

One of the most important 914's of all time was this one.



It is THE 914-6 that beat all the 911s in the 1970 Le Mans finishing first in class and 5th overall! It's story isn't well remembered because 1970 was the year the 917 finally took Porsche's first win at the Grand Prix d'Endurance. The car was run by France's Établissement Sonauto and driven by Claude Ballot-Léna and Guy Chasseuil.

The only cars that finished ahead of it were all 5 liter sports racing cars of the day and 1 prototype 908/2.

1st: Porsche 917K - 343 Laps
2nd: Porsche 917L - 338 Laps
3rd: Porsche 908/2L - 335 Laps
4th: Ferrari 512S - 313 Laps
5th: Ferrari 512S - 305 Laps
6th: Porsche 914/6 GT - 285 Laps
7th: Porsche 911S - 282 Laps

No doubt! reps from me too.

[okra1981]

I just like smaller displacement engines, therefore I'm a huge fan of the 356, 914, and 912s. I've been looking around for a good 912, but like too many classics, they are either rusted out or cost too much.

[yogi08]

theres a old guy down here that has one and does a mix between 93 octane, 103 octane, and 87 octane in his garage to get close to 90mpg. sounds crazy but hes a very smart guy and always hangs out at a shop that works on my rail buggy

The 924 is the "Poor Man's Porsche". The 914 was the rich man's VW lol!

"Pandora's Box"

"Pandora's Box"

Good read. I looked into it for the 993 Speedster as i thought Porsche built only 1 ever but i found out it was actually 2.

One went to Jerry Seinfeld.

Good read. I looked into it for the 993 Speedster as i thought Porsche built only 1 ever but i found out it was actually 2.

One went to Jerry Seinfeld.

My goal in life would be photograph and print a coffee table book of his Porsche collection

"Seinfeld, an automobile enthusiast and avid collector, is rumored to own one of the largest Porsche collections in the world. He rented out a hangar at the Santa Monica Airport, in Santa Monica, California, for an extended period of time during the 1990s, for storage of some of the vehicles in the collection. After his return to New York City he was involved in an extended dispute with several neighbors over the proposed building of a $1.4 million multi-story garage to contain the cars.

A current tally puts Seinfeld at 46 Porsches. Reporter Paul Bannister reports that his collection includes Porsche 911s from various years, 10 Porsche Boxsters each painted a different color and the famous 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, the same model and pearl-grey color that actor James Dean was driving when he crashed and died. The Discovery Channel television show "Chasing Classic Cars" claims that Seinfeld owns the first and last Porsche 911s produced. The centerpiece is a $700,000 Porsche 959, one of only 337 ever built. To his initial despair, he was not allowed to drive it as US emission and crash tests were never performed because Porsche refused to donate four Porsche 959s for destruction tests, rendering the car "not street-legal". He imported the car "for exhibition purposes", which stipulates the car may never be driven on American roads.[38] The car was made US street legal in 1999 under the "Show or Display" federal law.[39][40] In several episodes of Seinfeld, Seinfeld drives a Saab 900 (NG) convertible, but a Porsche-themed painting, depicting a Porsche 904 GTS race car competing in the 1964 Targa Florio race in Italy, is visible on a wall in his apartment, as well as a Porsche racing poster featuring a 550 Spyder depicting the 1958 Targa Florio. In another episode, he is seen hiding behind a red Porsche 911RS parked on the street. In addition, an issue of Excellence, a Porsche-centered publication, is featured prominently on an outdoor magazine rack in one episode and on at least one occasion he is seen reading an issue of Road and Track magazine from circa 1990 with a cover article on the Porsche 964. He also wrote an article for the February 2004 issue of Automobile, reviewing the Porsche Carrera GT. For the story he was awarded Road Pest - Silver at the 2004 International Automotive Media Awards."

I've seen many vids of him driving his Porsches. The 917 is probably the best one for me.

Porsche even got him to make an advert.

The 1 of 1 1969 Porsche 914-8 built for Ferry Porsche.

[89preludesi]

i have wanted one of these ever since the age of 12

[Elbow]

Here are a few pics of my old one just to add more to the thread.







It was stock minus exhaust, wheels, Koni's, carb conversion, and that's about it I think.
