This is exactly the kind of 914 I'm looking for. I hope it lasts another 4-5 weeks, so that I can snap it up!
Would you forsee this car having any problem driving me back to Utah after I flew there to pick it up? Does the heater work? It's cold here in Utah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Oops, I missed this the first time I read the add "I would not be afraid to drive this car coast to coast." So I guess it would'nt even break a sweat on it's way to Utah.
This really is a beautiful car and I hope it lasts till I have the cash. (Fingers crossed) The interior is done in the same color I would have done it. The tan interior looks really good with the red paint. |

Where in central California are you? I've got family in Fresno. I always stop in Fresno on my way to the moto gp races in Monterey while on my motorcycle road trips.

Temporarily off the market. I loaned the car to a 914 buddy, who has had a minor fender bender with the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Soooo, while the car is being fixed, I'm pulling it off. Some, if not all, of the rust is going to be dealt with while it's being fixed, so this is a mixed blessing.

I'm in Bakersfield, and am interested in knowing when you anticipate having "The Red Car" back on the market. Thanks.

I'm dropping off parts to the body shop tomorrow. I'm waiting to find a really good chrome bumper, but I have everything else.

Thanks Mark. I'm looking for a market correct priced, honest, no issues driver ... Hope you're also able to get the rust & paint blems, and the quarter panel dent, fixed while the car's in the shop.

Talked with the body shop, and they think they can repair it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I took the last of the parts (except for a new early chrome front bumper, still looking for one of those) to the body shop today. The body shop guy is one of those guys that seems to know what he's doing when it comes to metal. There was a fair amount of bondo that is no longer going to be there. He's also going to take care of the peeling paint on the drivers side where the side marker used to be. Unfortunately, I can't afford to have the rust issues dealt with, I really wish I could. Of course, then I'd be more tempted to keep the car.

They're putting it back together today. I've been told the paint match is exceptional. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I found a very nice newly rechromed front bumper, and bought a 914rubber bumper top. I had them take care of the driver's side paint adhesion problem while they were there. I can't afford to do the surface rust, unfortunately. Steve said the battery died, so he got a cheap replacement, and the front tires look like there was an alignment issue, so I'll most likely get a new battery and replace all the tires, and get an alignment. |

After a bunch of drama, I'll be picking up the car from the body shop this week, delivering it to Cap'n Crusty for a good going over, and will be back up for sale.

Car looks pretty darn nice. Glad this chapter is over for all concerned.
