How many 1.7 Aubergine cars were made in 1971?, Just bought one..... Options

[Twystd1]

Hi fellas,

I was wondering if anyone knew about this color.

The exterior of the car is now painted green. The trunks are factory Aubergine over factory primer. As are the door jams and such.

No rust that I can see so far, cept a quarter size hole in the hell hole.

Jack points look perfect. Longs are perfect. Zip rust anywhere so far.

Shifter needs bushings. Came with Weterns and old tires. Seats and backpad are toasted.

1.7b runs pretty good. And the car came with all the tune up and mechanical receipts since 1986... Sweet...!!!!!

Also has the factory PORSCHE service card and folder for writing down what and when you did work to the car.

Since I am going to sell this car. Do you think the color will improve the value? Even though it's painted green now?

The car is Kali tagged till November next year.

I am trying to get a sense of price.

I was thinking 2500 bucks as is. or 3-35 hundred if I start putting time and parts into it.

I would appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Clayton

I am only buying the 9eleben for the engine, trans, brakes, front end and wheels.....

(8s & 9s..3 piece)

The tub will go to someone I hope.

The 9eleben tranny is a sporto or a tiptronic. I dunno which.

Will know more later this week.

On another note.....

Just got back from Long Beach, Cali to look at a Craig's list 914.

What a POS...... Rusted out longs, unknown tail shifter, rust under paint...etc.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

POS luxury 914

The fella wanted 1600 bucks. I offered 300 bucks. He declined.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Oh well... Have 3 more to look at this week.... If I B lucky.. I will find a good one.

I am bound and determined to find another Aubergine car like the one I sold Rusty.

Maybe I will wait till late at night and permanently borrow one of Thomas's Aubergine cars.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I will post in this forum on what I find. I like this place. I kinda feel like I am hiding out... In plain sight.

Cheers,

Clayton
