Sold The turbo Options

[Evill Ed]

Hey all, I sold my Turbocharged 914. I delivered it to the new owner yesterday afternoon. The new owner, who I believe lurks here, is a gentleman that I have known for a few years now. We used to talk regularly about Turbo 914's because he was basically trying to duplicate my car. He had decided to buy my 914 and sell his project, this gets him to his goal a little sooner.

The new owner John, is in my opinion, the "right" owner for this car. He knows what it is and has a true appreciation for it. It was great to see the grin on his face when he test drove it and got onto boost. He said that the car was what he expected it to be. He has plans to make it even nicer with the addition of some nice interior upgrades.

I feel good about John having the car and he said that my boys and I could visit and drive it when we wanted. My older son, 8yrs. old, is still really upset about me selling it. I never thought I would sell it, it was special to me. My dad had bought it for me in 1988 and he and I spent alot of time with it. I was at a point where I was able to let it go, so I did.

As for me, I picked up my 1977 911S track car last night. This will be my new project. The engine and trans are fresh and so it the suspension with brand new Weltmeister bars and bushings front and rear, adj. rear plates and new Bilsteins. Got a roll cage in there too.

I plan to remain on the list, I like it here.

Best to all,
Ed
