Hello,
New here.. I have been looking for a 914 for some years now. I finally found somewhat of what I'm looking for. Wondering if anyone has seen this car or knows anything about the build? Thanks Rob. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284647991768?_trkp...c0c46%7Ciid%3A1 |

This was my fathers car and I'm gonna say right off the bat - I don't think this is a good buy. And that's coming from a guy who spent the better part of three years trying to track down this exact vehicle.
It was originally a red four cylinder. My dad bored out the block for displacement and then mounted webber carbs. He sold it out of New Jersey in 1996, it was register in New Jersey as late as 2011 (my own title checking research) and then dropped off the radar until it has now suddenly appeared in Texas. Now they want 30K + and are already anticipating you'll need to pull the motor? God knows what's been done to it that led to the carbs being dismounted and sitting in the trunk. Not to mention it's got a mismatch of custom parts, non 914 suspension, the original wheels are gone (these may be Porsche wheels but they aren't the wheels my dad got when he bought it), etc. This thing has probably seen some $#!& and needs a hell of a lot of money and labor to get it back to where it should be. I would expect to pay 5 to 10K for a project like this. And honestly given what's been done to it, I'm not sure I'd even want it back at that price. |
