Just got another 914 :]
Hey gang,
It's been a while since I visited this forum, some may know me from the 911 list.
Well....I just bought another '72 914. This one with a 2.0 FI (not sure the year engine) VIN 4722911937. It runs pretty good. This car is Silver on black (original colour I believe is Irish Green). I posted some photos here:

BTW, I also own another '72 VIN 4722914039, (Irish Green) w/1.7 carbed, but it's in storage waiting to be awakened one day (the clutch got stuck to the flywheel at the PO's place) and it has some cosmetic issues but not bad.
Both of the cars are virtually rust free - certainly in all the "known" problem areas. This silver one is nice - almost completely original.
Gotta head out for a few hours but will check in later tonight. Looks like a nice gruppe of blokes here.Talk to you later........

Hey Barry,
Cool on the new pickup. I'd love to see pictures of the green car. Also, it's not to hard to free the clutch disk...Not really gently, but it can be done pretty quick..

Thanks Matt. I tried the usual methods of starting it in gear with brake on but the carbs were too gunked up for the engine to run smoothly so I bought carb kits, removed carbs, then didn't get back around to cleaning and re-installing the carbs. So I hauled the car to a friend's barn to store until I got the time to move forward on it. meanwhile I found this one all ready to drive pretty much plus it has the side shifter, the other a tail shifter. And this one has the 2.0 with the original FI, so I jumped on it. Still have some work to do to it but meanwhile I can drive it. Heck - we are just now getting into decent driving weather - it's going to be a GREAT summer

Hi Jay,
You can view photos of the car here:

So far I'm working on getting the correct flasher realy so I can use the turn signals, getting a spare tire and the platform that goes on top of it, and figuring out whether to splice into the wiring harness to hook up the center console gauges that it came with (not wired up, obviously) or leave it stock.
I hope to get new tires and check alignment soon. Also need new windshield wipers and new door seals at bottom. And install the heater boxes which are absent.
Will keep everyone posted as appropriate - thanks for the interest
