New owner picked it up today.. feels very strange to not own a 914 any more after 22 years.

====

Well, another year went by since posting this thread:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=296939

I think I drove it 250 miles, so I think it is time to entertain sending it onto a new home. Float me some numbers and/or questions/comments.

Original California car, records going back to 1986.

Conversion with mostly factory parts:
911SC front end with Bilstein inserts
914-6 stub axles
914-6 oil tank
914-6 heat exchangers (restored ~2 years ago)
16x6" genuine Fuchs wheels under slightly rolled fenders, 225-50 tires

Engine:
Otto's Rebuilt 2.7L with modified cams, machined case, etc. Receipts over $18,000+ back in the late 90s. Compression 175 across all 6, ~10,000 miles on it
Added Carrera hydraulic tensionsers ~2 years ago
40IDA3C Weber Carbs
Crane ignition
New Bosch alternator ~3 years ago

Cosmetic:
Non-stock metallic blue over original Olympic blue, from the late 90s.
Repro polished stainless steel early-style bumpers, undrilled front bumper, new factory chromed fog grills
New bumper tops
GT style engine deck lid
Center reflector insert
Fresh wiper arms and nuts
Rust bubbles from bad windshield install, jackpoints should be ground off and replaced
Hell hole is solid, as is the rest of the car

Interior:
Remanufactured dash top with ashtray delete
German loop carpet in cinnamon
Brown vinyl interior 9/10
Restored gauges + custom 4 gauge (oil, temp, volts, fuel)
Momo prototipo steering wheel + offset spacer for more leg room
6" round speaker pods
8" fiberglass subwoofer in passenger footrest location
Factory leather shift gaitor
New aluminum door sills
Lots of fresh gaskets and other bits

Others:
Brakes & suspension gone through - replated & rebuilt rear calipers, rebuilt front calipers and new MC, Bilstein HD shocks + Ground Control coilovers
Optima Redtop AGM battery
Many many other small details I'm sure I've forgotten

Stuff todo:
Oil leaks - protecting itself from rust
Fresh air blower doesn't work
Fog lights disconnected
Tires are flat spotted from storage but may loosen up with regular driving!

Price?

Oh, oops. I don't actually know, I've been out of the market. $25K in cash would probably convince me if it goes to an enthusiast.

Think this one will sell in a matter of hours.
Time and distance are once again against me ...

cheers

looks more like a $35-40K car. Good luck with the sale.

Wow, that sounds crazy for a daily driver condition non-original color 914-6 conversion.. certainly I would not turn down *more* money.

I'll update the thread with level of interest - you never know with a non-stock car, maybe they hate my carpet choice.

I'm sure the PMs are coming in at $25k... Good Luck!

Dang, wonder how much my paypal monthly payments would be if I used their credit?

GLWS!

So far I have 1 person seriously interested, so not quite a feeding frenzy.
