Hi,

I have a light green 1973 2.0L 914 I bought used in 1974. It has about 80k miles on it but it has been in storage and on blocks for over 20 years. I recently looked at it and the interior looks show room perfect but the exterior suffered some small dents and the disk rotors are complete rust. I fogged the motor when I parked it there so many years ago and it had zero gas in it but it was not running well at the time, I am thinking it needed new points. I removed the battery when I parked it but it already had a small amount of acid burn on the battery tray which I spray canned to stop further damage. The transmission feels like a brand new car, if fact, it still smells like a brand new car. The reason I am considering doing something with this car is because I have had it stored in my dad's barn all this time and my dad is getting old and soon I will have to pay to store the car.

I love this car, good power, great gas mileage, and drives like a go-cart. I especially like the transmission configuration with first gear being the odd ball instead of fifth gear like so many Porsches.

I also have a 1976 911S Targa which I rebuilt the motor and completely disassembled the body for repainting and am currently re-assembling (not easy to install a Targa window) so I am not anxious about tearing into another big project right away.

I like my Porsches but do not have a desire to garage two weekend drivers and I have been considering changing to a 12 cylinder Ferrari.

The picture below is exactly what my car looks like except the first owner painted the hood black, I don't know why.

Anyway, I am not sure what to do with my 914. Any suggestions?
