I bought me a 914 i found on Craigslist in Boulder, Co. It was delivered yesterday. It needs a new paint job and some little things here and there. But its a nice car none the less. 1970 dated 11/69 paint code L041. rare (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The motor was rebuild to a 2056 buy a Porsche shop in Denver, has 8k miles on it now. The driver front caliper was blown when it was delivered. Looked like it was a small leak that got progressively worse, then went out on my first drive.
