Great review, these 914’s are growing on me.

Todays "drivers" of high horsepower intersection smoking doughnut makers. Haven't got a clue to the exhilaration of navigating a road course at speed needing to be part of the vehicle.

The "Poersche" script on the front does not seem to be the same, though

Beautiful car, thanks George.

Keeps saying Original. Nothing Original about this plastic tub 😂😂😂 even the motor is wrong.

That man knows 914's.

I agree that this was an extremely clear explanation of what is going on in this “mystery box”. Your analytics were excellent.

Great Video George. What a walk through by the DOC!!

What car is this on? On my '78 SC, there's no room to slide the bellcrank off the axle - there's not enough clearance between it and the rear trailing arm. The only option would be to remove the axle (which will cause the hole to leak trans fluid).

The original James Dean 550 had the Fuhrmann 547 engine.

"Perfect" would be a stretch- certainly not bad in it's era and a solid platform to start with

That's the one thing that blows with getting parts made. Min. quantities. We did some power supply covers (the manufacturer wanted about $100 each) at about $10-15 our cost, but needed to buy a minimum of 1000. Fortunately they all sold. We priced at $35-50.

That console looks just like factory Porsche.

I'm having a really tough time finding information on the S2 Oil Cooler, including the updated cooler you're referring to - would you mind please pointing me in the right direction? ...I've got a milkshake problem I need to fix.

I put a Kenwoord KDC-8001 in my 1966 Mustang back in the day. Fit in the factory location.

Did they ever find the original care?

If I ever buy a 914 I want to buy it from or bring it to you. A true SME.

Thank you so much! An excellent tutorial! I am in the middle of troubleshooting my 914. Too long to go into here, but it all started with a fuel pump relocation to the front. Everything good - for about 5 minutes! Been downhill since. But, this video has been a great help! Thanks.

June 2024 interesting

nice tour june 2024

June 2024 fabulous review , especially the 914-6 differances

George love your reviews, and I always learn a lot, thanks. Every one who has driven mine falls in love with the road ability, the flat cornering and primarily the directional stability.

I what to know where to get a hub adapter for the nardi steering wheel.

The World is a better place with people like George around. I hope some day to come and visit Auto Atlanta in a 914

I want one so bad

Bellissima ❤️

I had a '73 914 2.0 (laguna blue) I regret EVER selling my baby... 😐

Nice! I proudly own a Beck that looks very good too but isn't quite as exact of a copy. I think the only thing which gives away the fact that its not original are those tires. I highly suggest going with some narrower tires. I run Narrow wheel and tires on mine which eliminate any tire rub issues while cornering, and since its so light it still has plenty of grip. I really hope you plan on putting some twisty back road miles on this thing, because they drive even better than they look when set up properly.

Excellent, very informative video! Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge and passion for these wonderful cars.

Oh, my. Fantastic memories of my rather meager, but still fun 1972 914 when it was new. My wife comments that my '23 C43 coupe (V6 biturbo) is my way of making up for the 914/6 I couldn't afford back then! Great video, George. Thanks!

Love your knowledge on 914 s . Have a 73 . Friendly comment , please untuck shirt 😊

It’s easy to see why he didn’t survive being hit in the side by another vehicle. There’s absolutely no protection in the car.

Wonderful I did notice you referred to the rear trunk as the front trunk a couple of times other than that very nice job

Hello, I am taking part in a research project. I could not find almost any information about the "main relay" of Porsche 912. Can you help me with this? "What is the main relay of 912 L jetronics used for?"

Does anyone else get nervous when he says 'the rarest' and 'the roof is under construction and has to be replaced' in the same sentence?

Yes, I have seen, owned, and restored a car exactly like this, minus the "130" logos. Dean's car was #55. In 1986, I bought #53 complete with its original engine and transmission. Over the next 10 or so years, I restored it to perfection, paying very close attention to originality. It was originally sold in California by the same dealer who sold #55 to James Dean (von Neumann, I think). It was imported to the US by Max Hofman in the same shipment of Spyders that included #55. Same interior colors, same dark red tail streaks, same everything. My engine was rebuilt by Billie Doyle, the premier 4-cam mechanic in the US until his untimely death. That car was pure fun to drive, and I miss it madly. In 2018, it sold at a Goodings auction in Monterey, for $4.5M. I'd love to find any recent photos of the car and to know who bought it.

Thank you very much for a very informative video. I have a' 75 2.0 since more than 8 years now, and we had a lot of problems with the idle. We can't get the auxiliary air valve to work properly and the throttle body has a small vacuum leak. I finally found a throttle body in the UK last week but it isn't installed yet. It's a pity we don't have someone like you in Belgium. But I'm sure my mechanic will like your video.

aaah, just great! I very much enjoy your expertise. thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for explaining why my 1974 1.8 is missing relays!

For 35+ years, the 914 has been in my dreams...hopefully one day! I know it's late but an excellent informative video!

So George my question is I have a 1.8 L that you guys bought out to a 2 L and I’m not totally sure on how to check the relays to see why my fuel pump isn’t working. Is there a way to check on the 1.8 board to see why the fuel pump isn’t turning on? Thank you.

Very cool ride❤!

The 914-6 GT had a welded-in steel roof panel. I prefer the removable roof because the car is such a pleasure to drive.

I need so many of those parts

You didn't check behind the seat to check for hinging

You didn't mention how the early cars thru 72 had pr I blems with door windows and linkage

Ample room for Sexy Time if you dont mind keeping one door open

You still have it and is it for sale?
