I've mentioned my interest in the past year to find another pristine car. I realize just how hard the search may be but I'm actually quite patient. Realize there are a few of these cars around but they just don't come up very often. Some of you know that I did find a beautiful '73 survivor. Love the car but my wife and I are both fanatics about survivor cars and we've come to love the 914's.
Not looking for restorations or repaints. Looking for a Sahara Beige Steve-type car. Even better if it is a unique color like Steve's or the classic 70's green's and orange cars. And even better if it is an original owner car. I hear Pat Garvey may have a really nice car but not the time to sell apparently. I'm patient and in fact buying one one in 6-12 months is a bit better for me than today but I'd like to start the search and if one came up quickly I'll give it some real hard thought as to pulling the trigger. The next interesting question is what a pristine car would go for these days. Have not seen anything like this being sold in the past 12+ months. I have some thoughts but hard to say. Always interested if anyone here knows of one out here..... Thanks Steve |

Yes, hard to find. Last year I sold an all original 71 for $17.5. Today that would be a $22k + car. 2 years ago I sold an all original 74 1.8 for $22. That same car is for sale in Germany now for $45k. It was. 22,000 mile survivor in perfect showroom condition.
A less than perfect but rust free car is going to be $15-20k now. |

I'm fully expecting that the right car is north of $30k.....how far north just depends upon how original and pristine it is. I'd prefer a '73 or "74 2.0 which narrows the pool of cars even more. But as I said, I'm willing to take the time to find the right one. |

Pretty, what color is that? This one's for sale locally. It's a '73 2.0 with 38K. I can PM you the seller's contact info if you're interested. Unless it's a 98 or 99 paint code - & never repainted - then it's not an original color/paint job. It looks too dark to be Aubergine #98 (paint to another Porsche color), but that could be camera &/or display color differences. I can't think of any other purple-ish colors like that in the Porsche colors up to the md-70's - but maybe there is something. So otherwise, I think it would probably have to be a #99 "paint to customer sample" color. If that seller has the original documentation from new &/or COA which gives the 98 or 99 paint info, then it would be a good one to add to the 914 info. I'm pretty sure Steve is looking for an all original 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

This car looks awesome. If it came from the factory with that color / it has a 99 paint code, then it's one of a kind. Would like to know the seller's asking price, and the paint code.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Porsche-914-2...Y7R&vxp=mtr http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=313248 Mike, Steve is looking for another all original - with original paint - car. Both of those links are of repainted 914s, & I misread on the Sepia one FS by a member on here, thinking it was original paint, & sent it to Steve. Apparently Steve read that one better than I did, & corrected me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I agree with you on definition of "many" - there really are very few all original Porsches of any type out there at 20+ years, as evidenced by the paltry numbers of entrants in our PCA Zone 8 Concours - & the rules allow up to 25% paint &/or interior/upholstery to be not original. I think Steve is looking for 99-100% original 914. VERY few of those out there indeed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

If any of you have seen Steve's 73 2.0, then you would know what he is looking for. Okteenerfest stock class and best of show winner.
All original. Nicest example of an all original car that you would ever see in a life time. |
