Extreme
Porsche 914 Makeover 1976
Porsche 914 2.0 (yes, all 1976s are 2.0!!). This car came to
Automobile Atlanta as a trade in. When I first saw it, from afar,
I thought immediately this was a Porsche that any 914 enthusiast
would love to own. Sure the car has some problems, but that is
standard in most of the 914s that we see nowadays. The restoration
of 914s is so popular, virtually any car is a good purchase.
The car has decent bones and all 914s are worth saving. |

| Potential?
This car has it all, and in Dr. 914's opinion was perfect for a
minor restoration. My opinion? TIME FOR AN EXTREME MAKEOVER!! Over
the next couple of months you will see this car go from a restoration
candidate to a 21st century 914. As the Marketing Director of Automobile Atlanta, I have a great respect for the ultra originality that many 914 owners, including Dr. 914 show for these cars. I am also an active member of Generation X and thus a 914 visionary. To me, wild flares, radical interiors, 21st century gauges and intense wheel/tire packages were dancing in my head while the muted voice of Dr. 914 and his "Retro Concept Car" circa 1990 quickly faded away. (see http://autoatlanta.com/Life/retroarticle.html) Finally he and I made a deal (mostly with him dragging and kicking) to burst into the 21st century with this car we all love. |

WARNING!! If you are a follower of Dr. 914's philosophy about concours restoration and the preservation of class at the Porsche events, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE!! Dr. 914, like Pontius Pilate, has washed his hands of this one. However, if you want to have a tremendous amount of fun (or you think the Doctor is nutty or just want to watch him squirm) buckle up and prepare for the ride!! | ||
