This was supposed to post as a poll!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
Poll answers would have been: Sell as a driver Sell engine & trans & then part the rest Raffle at 60 $100.00 tickets. Here's what we've got. We took a bunch of misc stuff we had here at GPR & built a car. We have more $$ in it than we'll ever get out of it (duh, it's a 914). The economy is taking it's toll & we don't want to put anything more into it. It drives well (brakes still don't feel quite right to Jonathan, but stop the car fine). What do we do with this? Here are the particulars: 1972 body, clear title in hand, took a hit in the passenger front at some point & has been "fixed" (pop rivets instead of welds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ) The top fits slightly off, so we know something is wrong somewhere, but it tracks OK & drives OK. Take the top off & it looks fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The red paint sucks. Lights/signals all work. The hell hole & engine shelf were repaired by sww914 (Steve Willie at Proton Motor Sports). There isn't any other problem rust on the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Engine was a 1.8 & has been gone thru to be a 1911, with 20k miles on the bottom end, and: AA 96mm P&C's (Big Bore Kit for a 1.8). Completely rebuilt heads (2.0 heads with new valves & seats, no bad cracks in the "wrong" places). Completely rebuilt Delorto's with new CB Performance hexbar linkage. They have a whistle, which we are told can be fixed with the proper carb base gaskets, but we don't want to take the time/effort to do it. Dr Evil rebuilt the trans with M S X gears, a billet int plate, new syncros & new 1st gear slider. New clutch cable. The interior is mostly there, but is mix and match. Brown carpet, black seats are good, but one has the black corduroy & one is basketweave, no drivers door panel, backpad has a "burn" hole just below the light, retractable seat belts work fine, stock steering wheel & horn pad. Stock gauges all work (except E brake light). No radio. The buyer will need to bring wheels & tires, because I'm not giving up my widened stock rear wheels. We rough guestimate we have more than 6K invested in the car. What are your opinions? Jonathan will post some pics shortly. |

$1000 offer
Sounds like major work even though you sunk some money in it. It will sell for more on the east coast. Too may 914's here |

Question: Will the car make a cross country trip? I mean a guy could fly in and drive it home. If so raffle it. I will buy a couple tickets easy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Oh, and... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) |

Well, I was about to hit you up for free swag for the MUSR 12 but I believe this would do nicely plus it gets it out of your way. Winner can be responsible for picking it up. Thanks in advance for your kind generosity! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

I say "...Raffle at 60 $100.00 tickets..."
I'm in for $100 if it's road worthy and will do a west to east coast roadtrip. |
