I'm listing my 72 914 V8. I bought this car from a forum member here a couple years ago. It has an all aluminum Buick 215 V8 paired with a fresh rebuilt Dr. Evil side shift trans. The trans has been built to run with a V8. First gear is locked out and it has custom ratios. 70 MPH runs 2800 RPM. The car is complete, running and can be driven home.

When I purchased the car the trans and shift kit came with but were not installed. Since, I removed the engine and trans. I had new rings and seals/gaskets installed. ($800) When we removed the trans we discovered the 8" clutch was shot. I called Kennedy Engineering and we decided to order a brand new 9" flywheel, clutch assembly and throw-out bearing. ($750) This new set up is rated for 450 HP! Then we installed the Rennshift and JWest shift kit. ($1000)

Since re=installing everything I've put on a couple hundred miles but with the long winters here haven't had a chance to do anymore. My original plan when purchasing the car was to replace the front fenders with 916 style fenders as I prefer that look. I have all the pieces to convert the front end but it has not been done. These are high quality fiberglass pieces from QRS. At this point these will be included in the sale but can be removed and the price adjusted accordingly if a buyer does not want them.

Here is a list of modifications done to the car. These were not done by me but by prior owner.

Since I hadn't finished this project there are some things still needed. The headlight motors on not working. Headlights work but motors dont. Have to be raised manually. Passenger side tail light not lighting. In the interior the console by the shifter needs finished so you don't see the shift tower. Needs carpet. Targa seals are in poor condition. Tires, while they look brand new are old and should be replaced. The paint is in OK condition but could be better and please remember it is a 42 year old car and as such is not perfect. Asking $9,000 O.B.O.
