I guess I'm not a real 914 lover. blink.gif

Or maybe he meant to say Mazda RX7?

it does look a little JDM now that you mention it...

I particularly like that jack or whatever carefully positioned in front of the rear passenger side wheel. What's that doing, standing in for a collapsed suspension? Surely there won't be any structural problems with this dream machine... shades.gif

That things HOT!

Lift kit? (note to self... maybe a huge market for 914 lift kits) idea.gif

I'm wondering about the cinder blocks on the other side of the rear. It looks like that wheel is just propped up there. dry.gif I've been mistaken thinking I was a real 914 fan. After all those dollars waisted on all those frivolous goodies like rear suspension members, what I really should've been doing is letting my 914 sit out among the weeds and gravel and not washing it for 5 years! slap.gif
I won't even start on the body work.

The advert just got better:

This weekend is someones lucky weekend. - $1000 (bremerton area)

Leaving my dream. For this weekend only. I am offering my 1973 porsche 914 for half my asking price. This car would be great for someones project. Bucause I guarantee that there is not another 914 porsche anywhere that looks like this one. At the moment it has a froze motor. But the car comes with a 2.0 motor, A spare transmission, The car has a wide body kit so it weighs about 300 lbs lighter than stock, Aftermarket wheels, The fuel injection has been replaced with 2 webber stacks, It has electronic ignition, And a monza exh system. It has been sitting for about 3 years. needs interior work, (was pulled to do autocross) Needs door panels. And needs some minor fiberglass work (body kit)
The title was lost in my last move but I do have the full name of the original owner. Must go this weekind.


My favorite part is that the title was lost, but you can contact the original owner to confirm..... that he sold it, I guess. screwy.gif

The 'someone' would be him if he found anybody to buy it.

He also forgot to mention he painted it with a broom.
