1972 R&T 916 intro - the 2000 lb Gorilla!!!
I ran across this issue of R&T a couple of weeks ago ... and the cover just begged to be scanned on a slow Friday night ... I think Grady has one quite a bit meaner than the factory offering!
    And now for a reality check ... here is the 1972 914 most of us remember driving or working on ...

That's an awesome car! Always loved the 916 and would like to have a replica of that anytime.

Awesome, thanks for the scans. One of these days when I have tons of money burning a hole in my pocket (which means no time soon) I'm going to have to beg, borrow, and steal as many old R&T's as I can. I wish I had kept the copies I had from my subscription in the 80's.
If anyone is ever throwing any old R&T's away I'll pay shipping (but I can't tell my wife).

Anybody notice the "groovy" seats in that thing. I think my dad had some pants like that.....

I kinda like those too.
 Complete with the slick top, but, alas, no flares. |
