New 914 Rubber front trunk seal (not glued in)
Longs are in great shape. Hell hole and battery box were repaired/replaced by Milt Becker (Zeke) several years ago
Fiberglass rocker panels.
No rust in either trunk, but front trunk floor was cut out for an AC condenser (AC condenser included). There is a carbon-kevlar plate screwed in to cover the opening at present
Tan leather seats upgraded with 914 Rubber seat adjuster handles, center console with gauges (clock doesn't work), leather shifter boot and a tan dash cover
Center armrest with custom-made cup holder, and fairly new Appbiz tan carpet (, front trunk bulkhead and floor panel pieces, rear trunk carpet and targa-top headliner)

Reconditioned heads with new guides and stainless exhaust valves

Shocks and springs are still good (unk make & unk mileage)
--------------------------------------------
THE 'BAD', if you want to call it that ...
I installed a Wilwood hydraulic clutch system because there is a problem with the clutch cable tube, but haven't had the opportunity to try it out with all the other priorities on my plate.
The car has not been started since mid-2016, so the fuel tank will need drained and the carbs will probably need a good cleaning. A set of rebuild kits are included.
Will probably also need a new battery.
------------------------------------------------------
Pretty good condition for a 43 year old car. Priced for a quick sale ... $10,000.

I'm prepping for a remodel on a couple more rooms at the CA house to start on Thursday. My wife & I spent all day cleaning everything out the rooms (glad I brought my trailer back with me). I need to do the electrical upgrades before the contractor to steps in to do the carpentry, insulation and drywall work, so I'll be kind of busy again tomorrow 
I'll try to run down to the Interstate dealer and get a new battery for the 'BB', put some fresh fuel in the tank and start her up sometime this weekend ... maybe shoot some video? 
If I have to do a lot of work on her, the price will have to go up 
Posted by: billh1963 Jun 27 2018, 04:49 AM
I'll take the car as is...all you have to do is say ok

Bill, is this so that you will actually have a running driving 914 for Okteenerfest?
Posted by: billh1963 Jun 28 2018, 12:50 PM
Bill, is this so that you will actually have a running driving 914 for Okteenerfest?
Actually, yes! I just committed to buying it.

excellent- I was going to say maybe I would borrow it if I don't have mine back together by then, since you have a couple other candidates to have ready as well. --- nice looking car , - if I were looking for a second 914 it would be at the top of the list!

More underside pan pix ...
Hell hole (passenger side)
Driver side
Driver's door bottom (passenger side is good too, but the door was locked when I snapped these pix) 
Posted by: billh1963 Jun 28 2018, 03:34 PM
Looking forward to getting this to the East Coast in time for Okteenerfest! 
Posted by: euro911 Jun 28 2018, 08:41 PM
Well, looks like Bill is the 'BB's new caretaker 
I'll get her ready for transport shortly ...
Gonna miss her, but the reality is that at my age, I need to focus my attention on a few other projects if I ever want to see them through to fruition.

Congrats! I guess you need to fill up that new garage(s).

While looking for an errant piece of the carpet kit (the driver's side kick panel), I found some more carpet pieces to go with the car. In addition to the front trunk tan carpet kit, I totally forgot that I had also purchased a tan rear trunk carpet and matching tan headliner for the targa top
Still looking for the kick panel piece - where the F did I put it
Also, including the flexible sheath and pulley assembly for the original clutch cable in case Bill wants to convert back from the hydraulic system
Posted by: billh1963 Jun 30 2018, 07:37 PM
I'm going to try out the hydraulic system. This car has some great upgrades from stock and is an excellent platform to try new technologies on. I may have to experiment with A/C as well!
Posted by: euro911 Jun 30 2018, 08:59 PM
Well then, I'll toss box with the condenser/fan unit in the trunk ... it's the only component I still have from the old A/C system.
Posted by: Blue6 Jun 30 2018, 11:15 PM
Mark, Mark, Mark. Your going to miss her.
Posted by: euro911 Jun 30 2018, 11:33 PM
Yeah, I know ... but just like breaking up with old girlfriends, I'll survive.
We still have the '71, and although it won't be as much of a hot rod as the 'BB', it'll be another great car when it's all back together.

Hey Mark, What brand of 4 post lift is that? Looks like it would work with low ceilings..

I sold it to Mark but I do not have anymore.
Company is in Moorpark CA.

Posted by: ndfrigi Jul 1 2018, 10:05 PM
wow sir Mark no more 914 for you also! hope both of us can get one again later!
ooops wait your wife still have her white 914!
Posted by: euro911 Jul 1 2018, 11:01 PM
No worries, Noel ... we still have this one

Posted by: euro911 Jul 31 2018, 02:17 PM
Well, we've got an empty nest here now. Danny from the transport carrier came by a half-hour ago and the 'BB' is on the way to SC as we speak
A bittersweet moment for sure, watching it being driven away 
But on the bright side, now I can go pick up 'Eileen' (Westfalia) with her new 2.1L Wasserboxer motor ... I'll temporarily park her up on the lift and have AAA transport my wife's '99 Beetle here (park it on the lower rung), so's I can work on the overheating issue before taking it to AZ to live out the rest of it's life.

Now I have a car to take to Okteenerfest!
I'll be sure to post pictures of BB's arrival.

Bill, enjoy the hell out of that car. The BB will always be the BB. Nice to keep names so we all know what car it is.

... ... I imagine it'll be even dirtier than when it left here 
I almost took some video of Danny driving off in it, but my phone battery was dead

With all the rain we have here it will get washed just passing through the state on its way to me!
