Aside from someone getting abit slap happy with the silver paint, car looks real nice.

Wow - a very nice car indeed.

The transmission was repaired with a spray can!
I hope they used the factory original color.
The paint is nice but I doubt it's original. Also there is a picture of a front doughnut that doesn't look original to me but I may be wrong on that.

Yeah Tod,

I have to agree that the silver denotes more work & I doubt that this is really a 31k mile 914, with the extensive silver repainting of the fan shroud, engine case, transaxle case, etc.

Maybe a nice resto or refresh of a 131k or more miles?

It seems to me that lately all of the "survivors" are 1.7 and 1.8 cars. Where are the 2.0 cars?

They're being driven!

Too much fun to let it sit in the garage and rack up all those non-miles.

Sure its not perfect but it is hard to fault- gallery pointing out paint flaws shows some respect for potential buyers.

Mayabe Scott. Unless the seller thinks it makes it look like new. @ Tom, I'm leaning towards the miles being correct. Minimal wear on the carpets. No indication of red overspray. Hope he gets a good buck for it.
