Is That awesome ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-914...=item19d76647af Have a look at the front trunk pic. Everything is overpainted. Looks like a sell paintjob (must be cheap) |

That actually seems to be a pretty straight 914. Unfortunately, the painter, and it may not be the present owner's fault, was stupid and painted everything under the hood. That is a shame and would be a bit of work to remedy.
Aside from that, that seems to be a nice 2.0 |

Shame on the painter. |

 Take a close look at the driver side heat exchanger shield. Owner's confirmed that the photo appears to show a crack or hole & added that he'll take a closer look later today ... likely after the auction ends. |

That is my old Casper...
The heat exchangers were marginal at best when I sold the car... Yes the painter didn't do a real great job on the trunk....I had all the pieces to make it look right. The good part was that when I sold the car, every thing worked as good or better than new. Complete suspension with Koni adjustables front and rear along with 140# rear springs and 19mm front sway bar. See here 1975 For the complete thread Very good car.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Dan, do you know the story behind the salvage title? When the current owner had the car up on ebay earlier in the year it was listed with a salvage title. The owner's ad stated then that he couldn't find any evidence of any major repair. |

The car had been hit on the right side when I bought it....I am sure that is what got the salvage title back in the '80s when 914s were dirt cheap.
Now the ad says clear title so I don't know how that happened...when I sold it it was with the salvage title.... Maybe he knows someone? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) at DMV |

It's still a salvage ... owner relisted it based on ebay's definition of title, at least that's what he stated. But your statement makes sense ... it's too bad that 914-4 values are so depressed. To think that a '75 sold new for around $7,000 and yet only a rare few truly pristine concourse cars go for even close to $25000. Which doesn't even keep up with inflation. $7,000 in '75 dollars is over $28,000 in 2011 dollars. |
