Needle in a Haystack, Interested in an all original 914 - '73 - '74 Options

[914Next]

I've mentioned my interest in the past year to find another pristine car. I realize just how hard the search may be but I'm actually quite patient. Realize there are a few of these cars around but they just don't come up very often. Some of you know that I did find a beautiful '73 survivor. Love the car but my wife and I are both fanatics about survivor cars and we've come to love the 914's.

Not looking for restorations or repaints. Looking for a Sahara Beige Steve-type car. Even better if it is a unique color like Steve's or the classic 70's green's and orange cars. And even better if it is an original owner car. I hear Pat Garvey may have a really nice car but not the time to sell apparently.

I'm patient and in fact buying one one in 6-12 months is a bit better for me than today but I'd like to start the search and if one came up quickly I'll give it some real hard thought as to pulling the trigger.

The next interesting question is what a pristine car would go for these days. Have not seen anything like this being sold in the past 12+ months. I have some thoughts but hard to say.

Always interested if anyone here knows of one out here.....

Thanks

Steve

Mike,

Steve is looking for another all original - with original paint - car.

Both of those links are of repainted 914s, & I misread on the Sepia one FS by a member on here, thinking it was original paint, & sent it to Steve. Apparently Steve read that one better than I did, & corrected me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I agree with you on definition of "many" - there really are very few all original Porsches of any type out there at 20+ years, as evidenced by the paltry numbers of entrants in our PCA Zone 8 Concours - & the rules allow up to 25% paint &/or interior/upholstery to be not original.

I think Steve is looking for 99-100% original 914. VERY few of those out there indeed!
