Since RUF Auto Group in Texas is selling a 914, (first time I can recall them having a stock 914 for sale) does that help legitimize our beloved mid-engine NARP?

"This 914 LE has been fully restored (body off restoration)" Ok, I'll bite, how the hell do you take the body off a 914 to "restore" it?

I chuckled at that too. Theyre a top notch Porsche shop, only RUF shop in the US, and they used the term "body off"? Thats a big oops.
WOuld like to see them get that price for the LE though.

"Body off" has come to be a generic term for complete restoration. In the case of the 914 though wouldn't "suspension off" be more appropriate? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

That's right, 914's are so bad-ass that to us, a Lamborghini is just a backdrop for a photo of a 914.

For that money you would think they would repair the split in the left bolster. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Yeah, $26k seems crazy high, but I could see someone paying that for it.

The engine sound pad is missing and the heater blower is not connected (hoses missing, what else is?)

According to the email i got back from Ryan at RUF, they didn't do the restoration.

We have acquired this from a client, he has the documentation on the restoration and has restored this vehicle from scratch.

Please let me know if you have any further questions in regards to the purchase.

Cheap way to cover up a cracked dash.
I guess it goes along with the cracked and bubbling backpad...
