I have a clean title and have been over every nut and bolt of this car
This is the most rust free 914 I've ever owned and that includes going back the 25 years and about a dozen cars. This car is turn-key, ready to drive and enjoy. Car presents and drives well, a head turner. battery tray is in great shape, longs are in great shape, rear trunk is in great shape... literally rust free. I'll send more pictures, and be happy to discuss details with people. If you know much about these cars you know how "just a little rust" really means the longs need work... I'm happy to say this one does not.

It's a 1975 1.7 carbed car. It has been converted to 5 bolt wheels and has polished cookie cutters mounted with new tires. The body is very stock and its been repainted it's original color. There are a few minor blemishes in the paint (5) and I can send pictures of each. The interior is very modified. The current gauges are digital and the current seats/back pad are custom also. Transmission shifts well, although I still try to go into 1st before coming to a stand still.

The car is a great driver and I put 5000 trouble free miles on it in the last year. It never fails to start, never broke down or died on me. All maintenance is up to date. It is in Longmont, Colorado. $6700.00

I've changed the muffler and the rear balance is included but not mounted. The muffler outlet needs to either be cut and welded to clear the valance, or the valance recut... neither of which I have done.

apparently I don't have a decent picture of the oil cooler under rear trunk (with thermostatically controlled fan)

Wow! That seems like a really good deal. It looks so clean!

Posted by: Ferg Jun 7 2011, 11:53 AM

It is a great deal, I can vouch for this one... I've driven it, and have been all though it. It's a great car at the price!

brant, I saw this in the background of your inspiring racecar build thread

Anyways, wish you would have waited another year for me to finish my engineering degree. I'd eat this up!

Good luck with the sale. If you have it in a year, you know where to find a buyer

I've seen this car in person at a local group get together. It's a great car for the price. Even thought about buying it my self as a driver since it's taking me forever to get mine reassembled from a repaint. The description is accurate as Brant is probably the most honest person I've ever met.

I've been driving and enjoying the car
I know the market is more than soft
lots of offers, and sorry I'm not moving a lot of price
but its been a real pleasure to have a running car
