I was just casually looking at this car and before I knew what was happening, I started making offers.
Now it's on the way to me.
1973 signal orange. 1 owner the last 29 years. Original radio..everything works except cigarette lighter and washer squiters.
This was the non original engine that I posted a question about "value". It was upgraded to a 1911 back in 01.
Dual 34ICT Weber carbs - 1911cc w/96mm pistons & liners - hydraulic lifters, (no valve clearance adjusting) - street performance cam - hardened valve seats - high volume oil pump - auxiliary oil cooler w/fan -Pertronix breakerless ignition, (never change points again) - 911 turbo tie rods - Bilstein struts & shocks - Bursch muffler - hybrid hi-torque starter - rebuilt front calipers - German rebuilt ATE rear calipers - parking brake works - virtually all rubber has been replaced - carpet replaced - vinyl on seats & back panel as well as fuzzy strip in windows replaced - original radio still works - flawless dash. Turn signal/dimmer & wiper/washer mechanisms have been replaced - factory Pedrini alloys w/correct center caps.
I will probably engage the good Dr. to refresh the 901; 1st and 2nd are sensitive on downshifting. All shifter bushings have been replaced.
I will update the VIN Registry ; it's not in there currently.
All southern car it's entire life, so very dry (I know, I know ). 1 respray, but that was way back in 01.
Everyone always asks for pictures, so here is what I have so far.

Looks like there's just one thing missing....................a driver.
Nice looking car, enjoy.
True; I just pasted in the description from the seller. I am assuming 25% of what I believe to be perfect actually needs work and some love.
But since nothing has been touched since 01, I'm hopeful it is as solid as it appears.
With those floor mats check to see if a relief cut has been made so the gas pedal stop sticks thru. Had those in a car, no top end, made the cut and there was much improvement.
I will. Appreciate the tip.
Great looking car. Enjoy it!
Very nice....best of luck with it.
Nice looking car. Have fun.
Your car & my car were possibly built on the same day - my VIN is 4732915447 - there is a photo in the registry. However, your engine bay is very different, as is your cockpit. Mine are bog standard for a 2.0l with a centre console.
Very nice looking car!
Nice one! Enjoy!
Wow! Nice car!
I prefer the Momo wheel. It also gives a bit more room for entry & exit which I need at my age!. Love the car - took it out for a 30 mile drive today & drove it like I stole it - the first time that I've had the confidence to do that. Very satisfying!
Kind regards, John.
Hats off to owners of 914s who keep such good records. I just got the car delivered today. Put on new tires and then started looking it over, including the paperwork.
Every record from day one in a huge folder, along with original owners booklet and "leather like" folder which even has the original lady owner from Dallas "service card".
Dan you may have a problem. Not a bad one to have with a car like that one. Do I get to be first in line when you sell?
3m adhesive remover
Thanks for your tips. Anything must be better than what I'm using at the moment - Evostick Adhesive Remover. This adhesive is really baked on from the engine heat. If I fit new sound deadening I think I'll secure it with Velcro instead of glue.
Nice freaken car! Well done
That's a very nice car! Your firewall looks like mine - crusty.
