Greetings to all- just came across the site for Porsche discussions/information and joined today.
I am the original owner of a 72 914 1.7
Still runs great, still in original condition/paint- 118K miles Was my everyday car for many years and then slowly took a backseat to life. Now I'm retired and getting a chance to get it out and re-enjoy. Recently joined PCA.

Almost 55 years of ownership! That is simply amazing! Sincere congrats on that and enjoying the car and retirement. :thumbup:

Please post pics of the 914. It's super easy to do on photo-friendly Carpokes. Here's Tom's handy guide if needed:
