You are looking for the cream of the crop 914 and are selective about engine size and color. These don't become available very often frankly, most 914s are drivers and have been modified. Maybe 1-3 cars for sale a year meet your requirements, be prepared for a long patient wait, turn over every rock, chase every lead, and be ready with cash in hand at a moments notice to get on a plane to go inspect it personally.

Understand what Im looking for, and thanks Jeff. Been around a long time with P cars - my first E Production car in SCCA in the 80's was a 914 but the 356's dominated...so went racing after second season in a 356. Actually the 14 handled much better with the mid engine and the extra gear was a big help...but the motors just mushroomed out the lifters and the engine went away fast...GCR prohibited a lot of the engine technology in the VW world like roller rockers etc that would have made it a more competitive car. Ran a GT2 914 also..now THAT was a race car!!!!

Cash is at hand. Dog never ate my checkbook in all these decades and I dont need anyone's permission to have what I want. Know full well about PPI's; done some for friends and was bent over the table once for NOT having one done. Nice thing about retirement is I can run off and go see a car...but can be particular still...and patient.

So whats out there? Thanks Y'all. G
