FS 1973 2.0 Appearance Group - SOLD, "Betsy" Options

[carr914]

Many of you know Betsy (hotshoe names his cars not me) - she is techinally a 3 owner car, but shoe owned her for under a year and I've hads her for 15 months. She is a low mileage (4x,xxx) documented with an inch thick folder.

Donald (hotshoe) put new Bilsteins, New Tires, rebuilt the carbs and drove her the RRC in Utah, Hershey Swap Meet in PA and the Tropical Ramble in Daytona from Tennessee. Here is his Thread;

I've only driven her about 100 miles but she screams down the road. There is repair sheet from the Original Owner with outragious Dyno numbers that I don't believe, but she is faster than any other 2.0 that I've driven besides my 2.0 racer back in the 90's.I've owned close to 30 914s

When I got her she was in need of paint. This is what I've done

Purchased the car from shoe for $10,500
Had her painted to the tune of $5,000 by a Nationally known painter. Exterior stripped, any small ding worked, Tornado Mirrors removed, rear center reflector removed, holes filled, blocked for ever, painted Base Coat Clear Coat in original Alaska Blue Metallic.
Install Triad Muffler & Custom Rear Valance - $500
Purchased Fuel Injection system from Garold Shaffer $500-600. This is not installed and I never intended to, I just wanted it to go with the car. Len914 has Tested the most important components
ThePaintedMan has synched & worked the carbs over. I put different Air Cleaners with Rain Shields and I improved the Carb Linkage
I purchased just about everything 914 Rubber has - Every Seal (some I didn't need), full carpet set.Over $1,000
I purchased S/S Fuel Lines from Chris at Tangerine
Purchased Original Exterior Mirror

Overall, she is very nice, very pretty, probably has the nicest (5) original Fuchs I've ever seen.

The downsides - Betsy was hit in the PS front quarter at one point, A new outer Fender was put on and the Inner panels were hammered back into shape (in the VIN area) so in my opinion she won't be a Concour Queen even though nobody will see it without you pointing it out.
The car is almost completely put back together - ThePaintedMan is coming over today to help me finish the Fuel Lines and Alt Belt. I'm not a Concours type of guy and not all the Trim is on but I've got it all. I've gone Blind in the last few weeks, so you might want to put some pieces on vs. me

I've had this car Sold twice for more money to people that never came through. hotshoe wanted her back too but we couldn't make that work.

As Detaled above, I have about $18,000 into her. With my Medical Bills mounting, I'd like to make a quick good deal for someone. So

SOLD!

Actually no, while I might get a car & store it for awhile, the Spyder is getting finished in the next 2 months guaranteed!
