914World.com _ FS/WANTED: 914 Cars and Rollers _ WTB : 914 2.0 for export

Posted by: dax1969 Jul 14 2017, 02:32 AM

Ok guys,

After a few "near misses" I still did not find the right car. The world has been very helpful with a few guys performing PPI's for me. Big thanks to them.

In the meantime I kicked out the 2008 HD Roadking classic which increases my budget a bit. Still looking for the same :

* as from 1973
* chrome or normal bumpers, don't like the big bumpers
* 2.0 or more
* prefer flashy colors (olympia or arctic blue, tangerine orange etc)
* still allergic to rust and mechanical issues biggrin.gif
* like the appearance package especially fuchs wheels
* budget around 20K (depending on location of the car this can still be stretched a bit)
* no projects, car should be ready to enjoy

PM me but expect a list with a million questions fm me and a PPI by a 914world guru biggrin.gif

Bye for now
Dax


Greetings fm Belgium,
I’m once again on the market to find a nice and honest 914. My wife thinks I’m crazy after the issue I had with buying overseas but I’m convinced that the best 914’s are on your side of the pool smile.gif

Last year I made the mistake to buy a 73 914 2.0 with appearance package in Olympia blue fm Ebay sight unseen. Spoke with the seller several times, pictures looked nice and the real owner was “a dentist” and the car was only used to make trips to his cabin by the lake blablabla. When deposit was placed, shipper and pickup was arranged I found out that the seller/builder was a guy banned on this forum and Pelican for being dishonest.

When the car arrived Rotterdam and I had my first look I felt sick to my stomach as the car was dripping oil, paintjob was crap, crunching 2nd gear, engine was not performing well on the single carb etc etc. In his description the car was restored (new shocks, new paint, no rust, strong engine etc) but stupid enough I did no PPI and did the payment outside Ebay. Tried to contact ebay but soon after his account disappeared, phonecalls left unanswered (old lady on the phone saying that she didn’t know any Danny H…. – just google)

Anyway I invested some money but still the car wasn’t good enough for me and sold it with a loss (informed the new owner about the flaws of the car).
Perhaps being a fool I’m on the hunt once again but it is stronger than myself. I will now only buy from longtime forummembers, will arrange PPI etc. Perhaps still not 100% watertight but ok, will see.

If anyone has for sale a nice 1973 2.0 in good condition pls let me know. I like the flashy colors like Olympia blue, orange and red but would consider other ones as well (no black). Prefer the fuchs wheels and centerconsole. Rips in seats, no problem I can re-upholster myself. Allergic to rust and mechanical issues so that part should be sorted. Don’t care much about originality as long as it is done properly. Seller has to be patience cause I need to arrange PPI, get a shipper, make payment etc . I’m an honest buyer but I can’t get it all done in one day.

The car I like very much is the red one fm Ontario/Canada but price is a bit too high (need to ship it, import etc). Don’t want to make an offer as I perhaps offend the seller (if the car is really as good as he describes then he will get it sold local). Budget about 15 K (with a little stretch for the right car). I don’t expect concours condition (ofcourse not) but I sometimes see cars sell really quick within my budget which I like.

If somebody out here has one for sale which is not advertised yet, or can assist somehow I would highly appreciate. No links to craiglist ads of sellers you don't know pls.

Final note: like the 944 s2 convertible (had one years ago but sold it to finance another project) as well but I don’t think that anybody of the aircooled lovers here has one smile.gif

Thks in advance
Dax

Msg sent as I don't see the car on their website.


Also contacted the owner of the sepia brown one on ebay (thks Mike in Munich) and even placed a few cautious bids (damn doing it again) but have a strong feeling that the car will score high smile.gif

Should that 15k be your all in to include shipping or 15 without.

Without shipping/import taxes. Shippingcost itself can be a huge difference if the car is located close to a port or not. Washington for instance is also more expensive than LA.

Thks for responding

dax, I would sell you mine, but I think it is out of your Price Range.

It is the current Car of the Month (Voted in, but yet to be put on the Homepage poke.gif )

I'm going to have my Knee Replaced within the next Month which means I won't be able to play with it for 6 months (not like I have ever driven it much). I have other projects to work on anyway!

I have a friend who has a 73 2.0 - all the "S" components. Phoenix Red. Paint is rough in a couple spots, but mostly fine in others. The car has an upgraded sway bar likely Weltmeister, and I believe Konis. Momo steering wheel. Runs great and is fun to drive. He doesn't want to sell it right away, but likely would in the upper teens.

Good luck with your search!

btw, every single PM has been replied and some cars were pretty close to what I'm looking for. A pity that some cars offered (by mainly "newbie") showed higher prices then advertised local (some I found back on craigslist and other sites) ...

It appears that the "ready to enjoy" 73/74 2.0L have surpassed the $20K mark. Though I'm sure that there are some out there.

Good luck.

agree.gif owned by a former seller that I would buy the car sight unseen. I’m surprised someone hasn’t jumped on it. It’s so much cheaper to buy an almost perfect car up front.

Posted by: Cal Dec 7 2017, 09:04 PM

You might also want to look at this '73 2.0L....it's currently listed on EBay and Craigslist. I considered buying it 3 years ago from the previous owner when it was in Utah. It's a rare black on black 2.0L with matching numbers. the previous owner was a Porsche fanatic. Here are several photos that I had on file.....

Hi Jeff.
Matt Hasara restored the majority of the Richins 1973 914 2.0. You are more than welcome to call him. His phone number is 801-735-7817 we have nothing to hide.
The car was owned by a family in Dear Valley, Utah and they also own a home in Monterey, California which is where the car lived most of its life.
Barry Richins bought this car almost two years ago, he is a Porsche lover and has owned over a 100 Porsches. He showed this car to me and gave me an open check book to restore this car. I believe he had no idea what this car needed and I didn't either until I started to look this car over closely.
I have known Barry since 1997 and have sold him around 18 Porsches which he drives and sells usually within a couple of years. He has never restored cars in the past to my knowledge except a 1969 911 T Coupe that has gone under a major restoration which I have over seen and is close to completion. Barry doesn't have the time to deal with restoring cars, his business is building and meeting customers needs regarding Mechanics trucks.
I am more than happy to chat with you at any time, please feel free to call.

$30K is relatively cheap for a pristine original or restored 73 2.0. I can’t seem to completely restore one for under $50K.

This looks like a really impressive build! Guessing it might go out of budget near the end though. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-porsche-914-12/

Think this car was offered to me by a wellknown member. Price was above my budget but still for a good price.
Curious for how much it sells.

Hi Dax,

There was a black 73 2.0 for sale in the Los Angeles Craigslist a week or two ago for 21k. It looked in good shape and very original. I would recommend looking into it. Take care and hope you find your dream car!

Hi,

Just to let you guys know that my search is over. Found a beautiful 1976 sunflower yellow car in original paint. Got a lot of help fm forum members and I would like to
thank you all. Actually the story ended in a way I never expected ...

It all started with a few emails with burton73 and it ended by buying two of his nice
cars. Between start and end a lot of emails, pics, videos, ppi’s (man he was patient) over a period of 3 months or so...

The cars, a 1986 911 convertible with 70k miles and a 1976 914 are currently loaded into a seacontainer for shipping out of LA in the next day or two.
Changed my mind and I’ll keep the 911 and the 914 will be sold to a friend. Once the budget is there again I will be back as a 914 is still on my bucketlist. In the meantime I will monitor this amazing platform in silence.

Thank you all once again and keep up the good work with this forum !!

Oh yes, my advise to (foreign) buyers... be patient, the right cars and sellers are here to find.. my advise to sellers, remain honest and fair...

Greetings fm Belgium

Dax
