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. https://imgur.com/a/e0hXE huge gallery of pictures and super sized images 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!

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.

Wow, that sounds crazy for a daily driver condition non-original color 914-6 conversion.. certainly I would not turn down *more* money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'll update the thread with level of interest - you never know with a non-stock car, maybe they hate my carpet choice. |

Borrow from a 401k or bank line of credit. |

So far I have 1 person seriously interested, so not quite a feeding frenzy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Here's a video I took testing out my GoPro: https://vimeo.com/22372371 |
