Drove to Atlanta and back, 900+ miles a LOT when my brother with MS lived there.
Did it in my 914 the first weekend of ownership. Had my nephew with me on the trip. Because you could open the rear trunk from outside the car I let him put his stuff there while my stuff was in the front trunk. This was well before the Boxster. Really got a LOT of attention when I had the front trunk open gassing up and he had the rear open rummaging thru his stuff and there was no evidence of a motor at either end.
There is what looks like a nice white 75 914 2.0 for sale here in OKC for under $2500. Friend said I needed to tell Glen about it in case he wanted to pick it up for nostalgias sake. It is white and all.
There is also a very nice all black 73 2.0 one owner, 63K miles, asking $13,900
I really enjoyed my red 75 2.0...
Crusing at 80 with the T-top off in about 15 minutes your scalp would hurt from your hair beating your head to death.
One trip to ATL in Aug it was over 115°F as I crossed AR. With the A/C on it's warmest setting and the fan on low it would still get so cold I had to roll the window down to warm up. I only got rid of it because to take both a girl and my golden retriever somewhere at the same time the dog had to sit on the floor facing the passenger face to face. And I could only afford one car at that time.
