This is the best unassembled 914 you are likely to run across. I bought the car several years ago as a restoration project. As all the 914 club guys know those types of projects grow and grow. Unfortunately life dictates that I try to get some of my $$$ back out of it. I have been posting a progress thread on line here too , and many of you may have seen it.

LOOKING FOR $16,200 $10000 OBO. please read on before thinking "this guy is CRAZY!" I am Open to any resonable offer, and may be able to help with delivery within a reasonable distance. thanks for looking

The PO told me the car had a recently rebuilt 2.0 liter engine, and it has DellOrto DRLA 36 carbs, stockish looking HEs and a manta type muffler.



So far here is a (partial) list of things done:
1) Full restoration shop body rejuvenation. Includes
a. Factory repro flares butt welded
b. Deleted eyebrow at headlights
c. Deleted targa bar bright trim by seam welding the rear lip
d. Added a custom high mounted stop light in targa bar
e. New rear floor pan
f. New seat hinges
g. New right side engine shelf
h. New battery tray ad support
i. Hell hole area totally remade
j. Door sill rust replaced
k. Reapaired minor front floor pan rust
l. New 916 style fr and rr bumpers professionally fit, with flared ends
m. New FG rocker panels professionally fit, with flared ends
n. Car is in primer, and 80% block sanded and second prime coat done
2) Interior totally reupholstered by Dr. Evil including new Getty designs FG dash. Seat cushions, back pad and door panels replaced with better quality ones.
3) 15 x 6 and 15 x 7 Fuchs wheels could use reconditioning, good tires ( new on rear)
4) unknown early 911 front end (eBay purchase) PLUS
a. turbo tie rods
b. new ball joints
c. weltmeister torsion bars
d. weltmeister anti sway bar with backing plates
e. Elephant racing poly bronze bushings
f. Elephant racing spherical front strut mounts
g. 911 brake calipers, pads and new bearings etc
5) Eric Shea 5 lug rear conversion PLUS
a. Beilstein shocks (new)
b. 180 lb springs
6) Porsche rear reflector medium condition
7) New clutch, installed just before the restoration began
8) Lots of new and used bits and pieces necessary to put a car back on the road

Here is the best reckoning I have of what I have spent so far….
Bought car $1700
looked up all old pelican parts purchases $4273
struts from 911 $323
rear 5 lug conversion (eric shea) $430
wheels on the samba $750
bought guages for instrument panel $191
bought parts car $450
steering wheel from ebay $35
Dash getty designs $500
reupholster entire interior $1400
bodyshop soda blasting $1000
ordered f/g rockers from performance products $230
Del Sol high mounted stop light $35
restoration designs for sheet metal $500
fiberglass 916 front and rear bumpers $600
4/1 paid bodyshop additional $3000
5/15 paid bodyshop additional $5000
9/15 paid bodyshop final $7200

TOTAL……………………………………………………..$27617


Looking for $16200, which is the cost of the restoration shop work ALONE. tons of photos at photobucket, search for gopack42 and you will see all the pics I took and the body shop took. this restoration has been FULLY documented.

Sad to see you're selling. You may find it easier to get the 16K if you part it out. Good luck with the sale.

I noticed in the pics that there is a pair of fiberglass bumpers on the top of the shelf. Are those the ones on the car or are they a different pair? I may be interested in those.

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Oct 9 2012, 09:30 PM

Dibbs on the Bilstiens and the 180lb springs.

Posted by: gopack Oct 10 2012, 02:37 PM

those on the shelf were the ones from my parts car, and they were in such bad shape the body shop had me buy new ones. they were tossed in the last move.

Posted by: silver74insocal Oct 11 2012, 08:36 PM

interested in your rear targa pad. let me know thanks.

Posted by: shoguneagle Oct 13 2012, 12:56 AM

I reviewed the entire package and I see nothing but quality in the way the car is put together and the parts you have purchased.

I would be interested in the Weltmeister torsion bars (hoping 19mm) and the spherical front strut mounts. The Weltmeister sway bar could be of interest (hoping 19mm) and the front suspension. If you have a stock set of 19mm torsion bars (19mm) I would buy them from you.

I remember reading about how and the length of time to have the front and rear bumpers fitted to the car body. I would be interested in both the front and the rear bumpers.

I am only interested in these items if and only if you decide to part everything out.

Lets talk

Robert

Posted by: roblav1 Oct 28 2012, 04:27 PM

I'd be willing to talk too. There are some things I want and some things I don't. Perhaps there's a deal somewhere in the middle.

Posted by: Nürburg Nomad Oct 28 2012, 08:35 PM

This car is a deal for everything done to it! Very surprised no one has snatched this up yet!!!

Posted by: charliew Oct 30 2012, 09:51 AM

If this car was available before I bought my car and started collecting parts it would have saved me a bunch even including freight. You have some very desirable suspension parts I don't have. yet

Posted by: jersey914 Oct 30 2012, 11:31 AM
