    Dear Thief,

    Welcome to my Porsche 914. I imagine that at this point (having found the door unlocked) your intention is to steal my car. Don’t be encouraged by this; the tumblers sheared off in 1978. I would have locked it up if I could, so don’t think you’re too clever or that I’m too lazy. However, now that you’re in the car, there are a few things you’re going to need to know. First, the battery is disconnected, so slide-hammering my ignition switch is not your first step. I leave the battery disconnected, not to foil hoodlums such as yourself, but because there is a mysterious current drain from the 40-year-old German wiring harness that I can’t locate and/or fix. So, connect the battery first. Good luck finding the engine cover release. Or the engine, for that matter...

    I suppose 914s aren’t on anyone’s Most Stolen list.

    Funny article, although these cars are really worth getting sorted at this point. Not sure why his driver’s side window remains inoperable in a car with no a/c… Time to maintain your car?

    One of our local PCA judges has a 914/6 and drives it often. These cars are cool — very retro, especially in their ‘70s colors.
