This 914 was for sale a few years ago and the post got over 16,000 views and went to 4 pages. It's a bit overwhelming so I thought I'd start over. I'm having a weak moment and want to "test the waters" for a potential buyer. Looking at $15K.

I have owned this 914 since 1982. I am sure there is more that I have forgotten. She's well sorted and ready to take you to your first FTD.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I would be happy to provide technical assistance after the sale if needed. This is my Baby and she has brought much joy over the years.

I had some nice conversations about my car with potential buyers. She's not sold yet though.
I'm trying to ignore this post. looks like quite a track car. Do I need another car...?
Santa needs a Hot Rod.
Cool car...well sorted, seasoned and experienced. Any videos of it in action?
Auto-x season is right around the corner. Make plans now to start taking your share of FTD's.
Engine photo. Obviously it's installed.

I realize this is a specialized 914 and the "target buyers group" is narrow. That being said, it's a smokin deal at $15K. Any thoughts from this 914 group on a price point? I may regret asking
Just curious what the masses think. I spend a lot of time on the Early S Registry and Pelican and have come to know that many folks here are on the....lets say thrifty side.
Cheers.
I think the price is right.
unfortunately a majority of drivers want to race and drive their car on the street in between. I think this is your main issue.
SOLD!!!!!!!
Tell us more!
I bet your missing her already.
