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

Hi Ken,

There are two small photos of your car at www.mikes914.com. There are two additional links to photos but the links are broken.

So there are very few photos of your car available, though 3 weeks ago you said more photos would be posted.

My suggestion is for you to take several dozen large, high quality close up images of your car showing all the usual areas that prospective 914 buyers have questions about: front and rear trunk floors with pads and carpets remove to show the actual floor, engine from above and below, battery tray, hell holes, underbody, front and rear bumpers, fenders, doors, roof, and all aspects of the interior.

It looks like you have a nice car but you're not showing much of it. Taking digital photos costs you nothing but your time and there is no limit to how many photos you can post in your ad. Lots of photos will help you sell your car.

You could also take the time to provide a much more detailed description of the car. Is there anything on the car that does not work properly? Lights, instruments, controls, heat, fan, seat adjustments, hood hinges, etc.

What is the history of the car that you know from previous owners? How long have you owned it? What are the dates of the various repairs you have had done?

Questions:

You advertise the car as a "1974 2.0L" but your ad says you replaced a 1.8 engine with a 2.0, and there is no rear script on the car stating the engine size. Was the car built as 1.8? And why no rear engine size script?

Also, if the car is a '74 it should have the front and rear bumperettes but I don't see them in the photos. Were they removed? Are the bumpers on the car from an earlier model year?

Is the paint the original color? Has the car been repainted? If so, when? What is the paint code number on the driver side plaque visible when the door is open?

Providing lots of detailed information and photos will help sell your car.

Good luck with your sale.

Best regards,

Barry
