After an encouraging PPI by Jeff Gamroth, I bought 9140431482 in 2020. The seller’s advertisement was very positive. Before being shipped across country to me, I had Rothsport perform work totaling $11,766 on the car. Now, well into retirement, I don’t have time, resources, or motivation to deal with fixing ‘1482. Resources, especially time is / are now way too precious.

$99,500 $99,000 $98,250 $98,000 $97,700 $96,914 $96,125 $95,777 $95,253 $94,999 $94.000 $93,250 $92,050 $90,850 $89,500 $88,000 $86,500 $85,900 $83,500 $81,800 $76,543 $72,880 $71,750 $69,975 $68,570 $67,400 $65,900 $62,999 $59,000
or best offer. As described and shown in my Garage thread:

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=368857

and in the 2020 advert link I bought it from:

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...&hl=Genuine

Sold as is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Driven only 376 miles on dry pavement during my ownership.

Complete running driving car before starting work last October to address recurring carb debris problems, then SS braid fuel line leak, and then exploring rust issues. Carbs cleaned and reinstalled, but remainder of fuel system is not installed.

In addition to the work done by Rothsport before my receipt, other work performed during my ownership (while not trying to complete reinstallation after rebuilding my ‘66 Corvette’s rear end; ‘1482 and the Corvette are garaged 60+ miles apart): new spark plugs, air filter elements, parking brake adjustment, rear caliper venting clearances checked & adjusted, removed spiral groove in gas tank outlet fitting sealing surface (like this from factory?), electric short in license light diagnosed & repaired, RF turn signal bucket replaced to restore function, low / high beam headlight malfunction repaired, Tangerine parking brake handle spring kit installed, all exterior lighting (except maybe license light?) changed over to LED’s, under dash wiring changed to isolate fog light operation from low beams, installed wiring & switch for hidden fuel pump shutoff, steering wheel shown in 2020 advert plus 380mm thick wrap (by Dallas Custom Steering Wheel) Porsche wheel included. New carb cross shaft bearing brackets included.

Tangerine Racing shift linkage included but not installed. Gates Barricade fuel hose & F.I. clamps to complete fuel line installation included. Other misc included but not installed: 3rd brake light and strobe unit.

Car is due for oil change and new brake fluid, the steering column mast jacket’s broken & held on with duct tape, and a clip’s missing from the LR caliper venting adjustment shaft.

Clear NC title in my name in hand.

Selling with my word of honor; no disappointments or surprises.

PM if interested.

Maybe well played, Sir!

I was wondering about the strange pricing changes and after looking at this I think I see a pattern.

You decide you want to be out of the car...

You start up a STRANGE thread where it looks like you are trying to blame others for your plight. The guys who did the PI are partially at fault in my book!

You piss everyone off.

During the process you make everyone VERY AWARE of the car.

The car really is quite decent and many on the forum might be interested in ownership.

You start a for sale thread and price it SKY HIGH!

Piss everyone off again!

Then you start dropping the price...

All of us are going to watch this add just to see how it comes out!

Guys, he's dropped the price more than 4K in less than 24 hours...

At this rate I'm damn interested in exactly when he's going to get "PMd you" as a response.

Wouldn't surprise me if he gets close to what he has in it using this method!

3 or 4 days from now is my guess at the current time/discount rate.

Hell of a way to make you "for sale" add really POP!

Sell the car and "burn your bridges" at the same time...
