I have pictures but for some reason it's not allowing me to add them to the post. Car is a beautiful metalic blue so if you want to see it let me know and I'll email them until I can figure out how to get them loaded. In the mean time you try this link for the photos:

Military Move so I have to sell QUICKLY. I'll answer any and all questions so don't be afraid to ask. I am the second owner. I bought it from the original owner who purchased the car brand new in 1975 in Norfolk, VA. The car has never left the state. More than $23,000 invested.

No radio, no backpad light, trunk light, or coat hooks but everything else is there. As you can see from the pics the steering wheel is original~ horn works!

I will deliver the car for free with full price offer. I have to move so the car has to go to help with other expenses. You can buy a project car and spend twice what you can get this one for and still not have as nice a car. OR, you can buy this one and drive it across the country. It's located in King George, VA so if you're close you're welcome to come see it and take a drive. I'll give you the mechanics info and you're welcome to talk to him about the car and everything he's done to it. Feel free to email me, Kevin, at preacheranav@yahoo.com or give me a call at 216-789-7222.

I am asking $12,400 OBO. That means if you don't want to pay $12,400 then you need to make me an offer~ not ask me what I'll let the car go for. I'll let it go for $12,400 unless you make me an acceptable offer. And, I'm telling you that no reasonable offer will be refused so don't be afraid to ask. I have one offer on the table and I'll take it if someone doesn't come in higher. I have to move by April so car must be gone prior to then. Thanks!

Beautiful car, good luck with the sale. One question I have: with your 5 lug conversion, do you have an emergency brake? If so, how was it done?

I do have an emergency brake. I kept the stock 914 rear calipers and had them rebuilt by Automobile Atlanta. I put on new 916 rear rotors which are five lug and had the original hubs drilled to accept the five bolt pattern. So, it kept the original calipers and the original parking brake~ which is adjusted and holds great. The front has the complete 911 front suspension with the vented rotors. Car brakes really well which is nice. Thanks... Kevin
