Any interest or offers?

I really think, from the pictures and history thread, that "Casper" is truly an exceptional 914. I can only dream of owning a 914 again for now, but some day I hope to find one as awesome as yours.

You would probably generate some renewed interest with some new pictures, especially of the interior. Also, for the 2 photographs you've posted in this thread, the red stripe is confusing. In one picture it is there, but then for the picture of the opposite side, it is not.

Posted by: DanT Jun 13 2011, 08:38 PM

Thanks,
If you read the later portion of the restoration thread, you will find when the red stripes were put on. Of the pics that are in the FS ad, one was before and one was after.
In the restoration thread there are pics of all angles with and without the stripes, which are just 3M tape and can be removed easily.

Posted by: scrz914 Jun 14 2011, 09:35 PM

Dan you keep producing high quality restorations. Can you do a six or six conversion next so that I can buy it off you after a year or so?

If I hadn't just dumped 10k into mine, I would buy Casper.

Good luck.

Thanks....it is a disease with no apparent cure!

Posted by: Tom_T Jun 15 2011, 07:16 PM

Have you tried electroshock therapy Dan?

Really surprised you're not getting any action on this!

Posted by: Tom_T Jun 15 2011, 07:18 PM

Oh .... and ...... .... for a great 914-2.0!

.... that reminds me of a Ruck or a Maul - but then I'm in Rugby mode now with Churchill Cup Finals on this weekend!

Posted by: DanT Jun 16 2011, 07:29 PM

Actually have had some action, all through PMs and email.
Just takes the right combination of car and buyer, it will happen all in good time. I am in no hurry, although I should be driving my next project home this Sunday

Dan always does an outstanding job building/ restoring cars. And he doesn't stop with just cosmetics, it is everything that needs to be done is done right. Capers is a great car, well worth the price, actually more IMHO.

Posted by: Slick914 Jun 17 2011, 08:18 PM

Bump for a sharp looking car!

Congrats on the sale, and kudos to the new owner. Ok, now I can't wait to see the new project. I hope you start a thread in the garage.

Posted by: KJW Aug 17 2011, 08:03 PM

Well here some news. Casper is a great car, handles like a slot car and I have fixed a coupe of things in the past weeks, but I need to sell it. Things just didn't work out with the plans that I had for it.

$8,500 OBO

Posted by: KJW Sep 4 2011, 09:58 AM

Casper is for sale!

Posted by: KJW Sep 14 2011, 12:28 PM

New Price, I will sell the car for $8,000.

Posted by: tod914 Sep 14 2011, 12:35 PM

Put it on Ebay... you'll get a ton of exposure. And likely sell it!

Posted by: PegasoMex Sep 19 2011, 03:06 PM

I am looking for a reasonable 914.
Is your car still on sale?
How may I contact you?
All the Best
