Hi all,

I've decided to sell my 1972 914. It's been a hard decision but I just don't drive it anymore. About 3 years ago we rebuilt the 1.7 engine and I haven't driven it a 1000 miles since then and I'm looking clear some space. to give you a little background on this car my Dad bought it for me on a trip to Tucson AZ back in 1992 when I turned 16, I'm 38 now. we brought it back to Illinois and he checked on insurance for a 16 yr old boy. After he found out how much it was going to cost he parked the car inside for 10 years until I moved out and got a garage of my own. I restored it, we repainted the outside only. When you look at the pics all of the inside shots of the sheetmetal are original. This is a rust free car. When we rebuilt the engine a few years back we also replaced the "hell hole". This car has never been wrecked. I have all service records from the previous owner. I even has the original window sticker. It is on it's 3 engine now and I this will one will run for a long time. it probably has 300,000 miles on the car but it runs excellent. the only thing it needs is a refreshed transmission. it works but leaks transmission fluid and 1st is a little hard to get into but nothing to serious.

I also have ALOT of extra parts, including a full set of Fuch wheels and a new interior carpet kit that needs installed. all the extra parts will go with the car. I probably have over a 1000 in extra parts alone. I'm not going to lie, the existing carpet is nice but it is really indoor/outdoor carpet that we have put in. The gas tank has been redone, cleaned and sealed. I rebuilt the brakes and it stops real good.

I'm asking $15,000 obo for this beauty. Serious offers only. This car is like another child for me and I have always taken care of it. Of course we have snow and rain here in the Midwest but it has never seen it. This a garage only car and it has been since it's been in the Midwest. If you would like more pictures of anything let me know. I have nothing to hide on this car. Thanks for looking.



btw I have lot of pics but some files are too large to post. I will post all I can. let me know if you want pics of anything in particular.

I turn 17 in a few weeks, been saving for several years to buy a beauty like this. Wish I had the money for this one!

Don't do it! Worth every bit of asking price if it's truly clean. Get it out to a bigger audience. Hold out, you'll regret not

Posted by: Chris H. Jul 4 2014, 07:50 AM

Don't drop it again man. Maybe Craig at Camp914 could help you sell it... Otherwise e-bay it. A lot of people are looking for clean 914s and this one is nice.

Saw you listed the car on EBAY but no mention or pictures of the Fuchs wheels. Would you consider selling them separate? If so or if you are waiting for the car to sell I would be very interested in the wheels.

Posted by: silverteener Jul 5 2014, 02:48 PM

for now the fuchs wheels will sell with the car. I will keep you in mind if I decide to part with them.

thanks

Scott
