I may have finally sold the 914. I will be looking at a '69 Ossi blue 912 this Friday or Saturday, and if things check out, I do believe the 914 will head off to its new home. It is being sold to a friend, with the guarantee that it will either be sold back to myself, or sold to another good friend, until I have a stable enough life to purchase it back.
The car is a matching numbers 912, almost zero rust, one owner, 82,000 original miles, and full service records since new. No, I won't feel any guilt converting it to a 912-6, as My dream car has always been a 1969 911S. Still not sure what to think about the thought of not seeing the 914 every day, but I can't afford to have both, and have wanted to get into 911/912's for a long time. Now to find a cheap 2.0/2.2L 6 and make the conversion, and a set of cheap 15x6 fuchs.. I certainly won't be saying goodbye to the 914 community, as I'm still taking care of my dad's car, but I may be even less active than I have been, due to my hectic school schedule..

very nice, I say don't feel bad, but you will be drawn back to 914's no doubt. but that is a really nice car!! get the 912 for sure.
I just passed up a chance at an almost mint 74 911 targa that was rust free and nicely partly restored, but the 2.7 was smoking , probably from worn valve guides and I didn't pull the trigger- I think I screwed up!! it was only $19k. - confushus say "he who hesitates will be lost" - or will loose. - so I say don't hesitate. Good Luck and that s a great way to go, you hav the option to buy back at some point!! |
