1970 Motor Trend Import Car of the Year
Stage 2 – Getting the car running.
"1970 Import Car Of The Year" by MotorTrend. June 1970. Read the reprint article here. This car was awarded to Mr. Crump in 1970. Automobile Atlanta currently owns this car and is preparing it for our collection in our museum.


Our plan for this special 914 is to restore this car to concourse perfection duplicate (with Motor Trends permission!) the original door stickers as seen in the picture, and park this car in our show room for one and all to see.


However we are going to go about this one a little differently than our regular comprehensive restorations as the car needs more of a freshening than a full restoration.

We begin as we would with any 914 that is still an assembled car by getting it running first so we can check all systems. Pulling and cleaning the gas tank is a necessity as well as blowing the gas line clean, and installing new lower fuel lines, strainer sock fuel filter, and bench testing the fuel pump.

Our excellent gas tank cleaning/restoration kit does a great job on the tank. You can instantly tell if the gas is bad because it will smell like shellac. Next, Lower fuel line kit, Strainer sock, Fuel filter, Por 15 gas tank restoration kit.
