I am sorry to hear that.
Does anyone know what became of the 914?
Any suggestions on how to increase my efforts? Other resources?
Thanks to all.

^Mark has Jim's wife's contact info. I know she had 2 of Jim's cars she was selling, but I don't remember either being Ravenna Green, doesn't mean they didn't get a color change. Maybe she could have insight into if Jim sold it.

Jim owned two white cars and an orange one. He might have owned the green one at one time but it isn’t his garage now.

I appreciate all of you fellows helping me on my quest. Might there be someone who knows Jim’s wife (or Mark) that could contact her to see where the 914 is/or went? Obviously I feel uncomfortable contacting his widow as I don’t know her and don’t want to make her uncomfortable.

I am currently searching for a Ravenna Green car myself, scouring various sources, etc. If I come across your car, I will contact you - I’m in no hurry to buy and will probably look for the next year before I buy. Plus, I’m looking for a 2.0 liter car, anyway. Good luck!
