Add me to that list. When I was in HS, my dad had a green 914 1.8. Not much power, but still a ton of fun to toss around. He loved that thing, and it's the only car he ever owned that was parked in the garage. I don't recall why he sold it. I've seen a couple of 914-6s around my area over the years, but they are a rare bird, indeed.
