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

If any of you have seen Steve's 73 2.0, then you would know what he is looking for. Okteenerfest stock class and best of show winner.
All original. Nicest example of an all original car that you would ever see in a life time.


Thanks for the nice comments. And yes, if I'm buying another, I really do want it to be about as nice as the one we have. I don't have room for much more but one more nice 914 would be fun to have.

To George's comments below concerning having pristine cars that one cannot realistically drive, I do agree that it is the love/hate part of owning all original cars. But, I personally will drive my cars minimally because I enjoy it and I'm not in it just for the investment. I know I won't lose money long term and 750-1,000 miles per year is a good thing in my view. I just need a couple so that I can drive several thousand miles a year between them!

Smokey, I did respond to your pm. Sounds like it may be a really nice car. As mentioned though, if I'm going to get just one more, I may just hold out for a really interesting one....right year ('73-73) right engine (2.0) and right color (orange or green or PTS.....as I said....needle in a haystack.

It only took me thirty years to find my lil car. I am not selling it.
