FS / 1974 2.0L Toronto Options

[*kennyd*914]

Hello all:

It seems appropriate to post this on Easter weekend.

The time has come for me to reduce my car count, it has been brought to my attention that 2 is company and 3 is a crowd when it comes to cars (I’m not quoting directly, but close).

Anyway, I have an exceptionally nice, well maintained 1974 2.0L. I have replaced pretty much everything that is to be expected including brakes, clutch, engine (as the 1.8L was getting a bit tired). I have spared no expense on maintaining her, as I’m sure Mike Galloway of Mike’s 914 will confirm.

I’m looking for $13K.

Let me know if you are interested in seeing additional photo’s.

Thanks,

Ken

Nice looking car Ken. I'm not in the market but since you asked :-)

The market is a little dead right now so it going to be difficult to move a premium priced teener. Without knowing the state of rust on the machine it is difficult to offer an opinion on the price. Some pictures of the engine bay, hell hole, underside ... will help dispell the fear that it is a typical northeastern rust bucket.

Consider this. Mike Galloway has (had?) a totally solid LE creamsicle that he was offering for $12K unassembled but complete. That is admittedly premium price but it is an indication (been on the market for a very long time). Your car needs to be really solid and complete to command $11K. Having said that, if it is a prime sample I hope it does sell in that range. You will just need to be patient.

Another Kingstion guy (longarm) sold a 73 2.0 with original paint, really strong motor, and near perfect interior. I don't know what he got for it but I think he was asking $8K This was before the crash.

As to colour? everyone has there own tastes. That blue is not at the top of the list of my favorites at the moment. Funny thing how taste in colour is cyclic. In this mornings Wheels section of the Star there is a Ford Fiesta in really nice looking bright green. I was attracted to it then realized it was almost identical to Ravena Green - the original colour of my car. Back in the day I disliked that colour so much I had the car repainted.

I don't think the colour will prevent a sale if the car is good enough.

Prospective buyers: Mike Galloway is probably the best 914 professional restorer in southern Ontario. If you contact him and he gives the car a good review you can trust his opinion.
