Wow. I was actually thinking something along those lines but wasn't sure anybody remembered the much maligned 914. I had a 1971 a long time ago and it is still my favorite car ownership experience to this day. They had untouchable skid pad numbers and unbelievable handling with that mid-engine layout. People put small block V8s in them and pretty much had the quickest car around short on exotics. They came with 911 running gear including the 5 speed 911 magnesium trans, VDO gauges, and Bosch electronic fuel injection. Multiport computerized injection was pretty rare in 1971.
Alas killed by cheaper Japanese labor and their introduction of the impressive Datsun 240Z. Both cars tending to literally rust in half before you were anywhere done with them though.
Thanks for the memory.
