ALASKAN BLUE 2.0L, and a '73 model which is the arguably most desirable year. Its spent its life in CA and Colorado. Nice dry climates, and had an original color repaint and full rebuild of the engine (documented) less than 10K miles ago. Car just turned 105K.

When I bought the car, I had a local Porsche Concours judge, and 914 owner/afficianado look the car over for nearly 5 hours as my pre-purchase inspection . He was going bonkers over the car! Loved it, so I bought it from the owner here in Denver. (I have previously owned a couple Ferrari 308's, and may be looking to get back into that arena).

Nice car,

Do you have the PPI done before you purchased it?
Why selling it so quickly?
Could have interested me but too far from Toronto (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Plane tix and shipping is cheap as compared to buying the wrong car !

My PPI was done by a local Porsche Concours judge who spent 5 hours pulling stuff off and inspecting this and that. Car was inspected for all the 914 typical issues, and passed with flying colors with the exception of the couple of items which I had to take care of after the purchase (eg. brakes, shocks/springs, rear bearings).

I am not forcing the sale in any way. I like the car, drive it weekly, and enjoy it. Its my first Porsche, after BMW's and a couple Ferrari's. My hobby continues to be helping local Ferrari guys find/sell their cars, and I just can't get the FCar outta my blood. (www.scuderiaautosport.com). I just took an FCar maintenance holiday for a bit. <smile>

If I have to keep the 914 2.0, no problem. I will make it the best one out there...thats my nature..... its just not a Ferrari 308 which I guess is my passion/hobby). If I can turn this car over to someone else for what I have into it, fine. Then it goes, and I move on. If not, I show up to the local events in a very, very nice 'teener with the targa top off and the stereo blasting.

Toronto is not too far. This car could be driven there without issue.

If you want a nice one, this is it. Otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it to begin with. I made sure that it checked out fully. Look at all the receipts, the prior owner really cared. Its all there. Someone will get the benefit of my due dilligence, inspection, and fixing of the couple of remaining items since the car has had very low miles in the past 10 years. But its all good now. The photos and records tell the story. Find another with full history, and receipts for all the restoration work done for under Mid-teens, and buy it. Comparatively, I think this is a very fair deal.

I'd be happy to share all the relevant details. Its a very clean car, for a reasonable price. Make an offer, and I'll deliver. :-)
