I know this isn't possible, but with all that detritus, looks like the car could be from Pompeii or maybe Herculaneum. The only reason I say it isn't possible is because we all know Romans drove Fiats.

I did.

Couldn't see the longs; but, both trunks are clean (front trunk cut for a/c), floor pan's look good and battery tray looks rough but hell hole looks good.

Car has Fuchs (that steelie is the spare).

Also came with two more 914 rollers ('74 2.0 and a '72...both are probably parts cars...hell holes look pretty bad) along with a complete GA 2.0 and another 1.8 plus spare transmissions.

Seller has some other Porsche cars. However, out of courtesy I did not take pictures.

Addiction is a state characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences.[7] It can be thought of as a disease or biological process leading to such behaviors.[1][8] The two properties that characterize all addictive stimuli are that they are (positively) reinforcing (i.e., they increase the likelihood that a person will seek repeated exposure to them) and intrinsically rewarding (i.e., they activate the brain's "reward pathways", and are therefore perceived as being something positive or desirable).[1][3][6] ΔFosB, a gene transcription factor, is now known to be a critical component and common factor in the development of virtually all forms of behavioral and drug addictions.[9][10][11]
Addiction exacts a high toll on individuals and society as a whole through the direct adverse effects of drugs and associated healthcare costs, the functional consequences of altered neuroplasticity in the brain, and the loss of productivity.[12] Classic hallmarks of addiction include impaired control over substances or behavior, preoccupation with substance or behavior, continued use despite consequences, and denial.[13] Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by immediate gratification (short-term reward), coupled with delayed deleterious effects (long-term costs).[14]
Potential addictions can include, but are not limited to, exercise addiction, food addiction, drug addiction, computer addiction, sex addiction and gambling addiction. Currently, only substance addictions and gambling addiction are recognized by the DSM-5, which uses physical dependence and the associated withdrawal syndrome to identify an addictive state. Physical dependence occurs when the body has adjusted by incorporating the substance into its "normal" functioning – i.e., attains homeostasis – and therefore physical withdrawal symptoms occur upon cessation of use.[15] Tolerance is the process by which the body continually adapts to the substance and requires increasingly larger amounts to achieve the original effects. Withdrawal refers to physical and psychological symptoms experienced when reducing or discontinuing a substance that the body has become dependent on. Symptoms of withdrawal generally include but are not limited to anxiety, irritability, intense cravings for the substance, nausea, hallucinations, headaches, cold sweats, and tremors.

Now, Scott..you know I am down to only one 914. I can't have that and be a member of this forum! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have been wanting a marathon blue car...this may be the one! I'm thinking a 2056 would go good in here. Of course, I have to get the 'possum skeleton off the top of the engine. Did I forget to mention that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

The PO was having trouble with the FI so he had the FI replaced with a single carb. He didn't like that so he pulled it in to one of his buildings and was going to replace that with a set of dual webers (which are still in the trunk). He never went back to it....

well we all know how that can happen, life gets in the way and then we move on-
its nice to "unearth" these so that they can be returned to working order and enjoyed by someone rather than rotting away. Atleast he put it inside.

Coincidence! My '74 1.8 was stored since '86 when I bought it as well. Mine had a car cover on it however. I love "finds". Very cool.
