WANTED pampered original 914 any year, any color, Zambe Options

[RennTiger]

Hello all.

I currently own a '74 1.8 and would like to acquire a second car.
I am looking for the best example I can find.

Originality and retention of factory equipment is a priority.
Mechanically tired cars are fine but would like to avoid body work or rust repair.

Will consider any color, any year but a pre 75 2.0 liter car in
Zambezi green, Delphi Green, Ravenna Green, Alaska Blue, or Olympic Blue, is preferred.

Budget is reasonably flexible if the right car is available.
Will consider cars in North America or Europe

Please PM or email me if you have ideas.


Thanks,

Dean

I agree the Yellow car is amazing.

From a price perspective our 73 2.0 Delphi car in highly restored condition has a Hagerty replacement value of $93k and our 75 Palma 2.0 has a similar level of restoration and it is insured to $85k. In both cases the cars are valued below the restoration costs. These cars in either stock/low miles or highly restored condition are expensive, but good luck looking for the best example, might end up being the cheapest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I believe so. I have had cars restored and learned my lesson. A straight, never wrecked original with mileage related blemishes, and no rust, is the desire. Also, A car needing full mechanicals is fine if all original guts present. FI, matching etc.
Thank you.
I am not in a rush as I have a car to enjoy while I search. But hopefully a fish will rise.

Oh btw as you mentioned your Delphi, there is a car in Paramus NJ with a price of 62K. Does anyone know this car or have info on it? I feel like I saw it years ago in a hemmings article. Lamborghini dship has it.
