I finally reached the big 40 on January 26th. For this milestone, my wife gave me a 1973 914 2.0 last Friday. I guess I need another toy to help me through my midlife crisis.
It has an older repaint in the original color and although not perfect, it is pretty nice. The interior needs cleaning, but otherwise in excellent condition. The car included a set of workshop manuals, as well as several other 914 books and manuals. The orginal warranty book shows the car was delivered in June 2003 from Commonwealth Porsche-Audi in Boston, Massachusetts. The car has black bumpers which look like the correct type, but I have never seen them on a 2.0 that had the apperance group otherwise. I once owned another 1973 2.0 that had the black bumpers, but it was a non-appearance group car without sail panel vinyl and the sail trim was black. I hope to order the C of A from Porsche soon to answer some questions. Do these bumpers look correct? Attached image(s) |

Why was it delivered 30 years late? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
Nice looking car. It should have chrome bumpers if it was the appearance group. (easy enough to change out if that's what you want to do) After 30 some years, very few are all (completely) original. Drive it and be happy. |
