I've moved on to other projects, but I have a complete 914 ('73-2.0) and several boxes of spares in my garage.

I would be willing to sell them to the right person at the right price. Just not to the poster on CraigsList that thinks Rich Bontempi builds "junk".

I'm 1/2 way between San Francisco and San Jose. Pictures will be tough - there's a LOT of spare parts. (FWIW, it look like every other Alaska Blue 914 that needs a re-spray.)

Interesting that the poster is member 196 and only had one post from 2004. Looks like he takes a while to post....

True; I no longer eat/sleep/breathe 914's, and I check this site less than once a month. I can be contacted via email through this site.

To answer some of the questions: It's rust free; all rusted panels were replaced with new (galvanized) panels from either RD or AA. The motor and X-axle were rebuilt at HPH. It runs. It has almost all of the "sane" upgrades (ie. phosphor-bronze bushings for the engine lid and pedal cluster, SS brake lines, etc., etc). It was my daily driver for most of the time I've had it, but has been parked for several years while I work on other stuff. I'm on the San Francisco Peninsula.

The reason for "testing the waters" is that I have little time to deal with people that can't understand why a rust-free car with a spec-class motor should sell for more than that roller in front of Pick-n-Pull. I'm guessing that very few have driven a 914 with absolutely no "1st-gear-crunch", or can appreciate what it takes for that to happen.

One person in the area that tried to tell me that HPH motors were "junk". I have neither the time for that nonsense, nor the desire to deal with that sort of person. And I find comments like "here we go again" when "we" is someone I've never met, and "again" when I've been away for almost 10 years very annoying.

If you're serious, I'm easy to find.

Regards,
