FS 1974 914 2.0L Sunflower Yellow Fully Restored, 1974 Rotisserie Restoration 2.0L Options

[hotlanta914]

Greetings All,

I am selling my 1974 914 2.0L that I have spent the last 9 years restoring. I began this project like so many of us with the intent to do the job right and to enjoy the car a long time. Life had other plans so I am putting it up for sale. I am not able to add more than a single picture due to file size, so I have included a link to my photo bucket album. Below is the add copy that I will be using elsewhere in the coming weeks, but I thought that I would start here.

1974 Porsche 914 2.0L – Sunflower Yellow

This 1974 Porsche 914 2.0L is a numbers-matching example that has been refinished in its factory Sunflower Yellow over black upholstery and has undergone a nine-year, rotisserie restoration. Power is provided by its rebuilt 2.0-liter flat-four paired with a freshly rebuilt five-speed manual transaxle. The car is equipped with fuel injection, front and rear sway bars, front fog lights, rare Bilstein front struts, and refinished 2.0L Fuchs wheels. Nearly every mechanical and cosmetic system has been refurbished, rebuilt, or replaced. This 914 is offered with a detailed record of the restoration and a clean title.

Love to view your pics, but I'm not going to pay for a photobucket membership to do so...

Try loading 1 or 2 pics at a time.

BTW, if your 914 is as nice as you say, I think you're underpriced by quite a bit.

Bring a Trailer (BaT) would be your best venue, if you have the time to wait.

Yikes - I did not count on the photobucket restriction. Let me see what I can come up with. Thanks for the heads-up! All of my photos are in the 5-8MB range

I would email a half dozen photos to yourself, using the option to reduce photo size. Post them here and put the rest in an accessible file. You want at least a few teaser photos if you are selling a car. GLWTS.
