I joined PCA in 1976, and I lived in Alabama at the time. There was no PCA region in Alabama back then. I ended up going to the Atlanta region, Peachstate region to autocross on many occasions. At one event a guy drives up in a 904 and everyone flocked to it. The paint was little dull, and the car looked well used. My 74 914 2.0 looked big next to the 904.
The 904 owner likely saw me drooling a lot at his car. He offered me a ride on the streets. I was 6 foot tall and about 165 pounds at the time, and had to squeeze in. It was a short ride, but I fell in love. Then I found out what they cost even back then, and knew I would never own one.
It is a very tiny really cool car, but completely impractical to drive on the road. It was hot and loud, and insane expensive to rebuild the 4 cam engine.
