Looking to MAYBE move on to a new project. Had this car for 2 years and loved every second of it. Recently moved to the east coast and it sits garaged and is really unhappy. Below is the previous listing when i bought it. $15K

1974 Porsche 914 v8, signal orange with black interior. Let me start by saying that an incredible amount of time, effort and money has been spent on building this car into what it is today. It is an amazing combination of agility and performance with a nostalgic 1970's flair.

I feel like I saw this car in the Bay Area CA this past summer. Was it ever in CA?

It was, bought in San Diego lived in Sacramento. We did a drive together, one of the best days driving ever. Flying thru San Jose with that Audi conversion. Do you still have that tiny gas tank and huge rev light?

Are the flares steel or fiberglass?

I knew it! Yes that is me, however my car is now in Florida.

I can personally comment that this car is very clean and well executed. I remember it ran really smooth and was not over aggressively loud.
