Hello everyone,

My credentials are a slew of early 911s and 912s. Now I'm ready to enjoy the 914 knowing that it's in many ways a superior car. I would like the 6 so I can keep up with my 911 brethren, and because I would like to know that a future restoration would not neccessarily put me upside-down financially. Plus I think they're cool and I want one (nuff said?).

As an educated newbie here I'd like to ask your help in locating me a nice, driver quality 914-6. Although I like them, I am not interested right now in a conversion, only a correct car. I will not be entering any car shows so concours quality cars need not apply. What I am looking for is a nice, clean, maintained car that is a turn key driver.

If you have (or know of) such a car please contact me.

Much obliged, and thanks to all for such a great resource!

-Mike

You're off to a very good start.

Mike -

I just came across this one here in OC Cal last night after posting you in your WTB -
http://www.carparc-usa.com/detail.php?id=147
(no affilliation myself - but Jim Hoyland on here knows the shop's owners I think, if you want to PM him.)

IMHO it should go back to the OE Adriatic Blue (eventually) - esp. for a -6 since the value is so much better/higher in original color (perhaps a negotiating tool here?), but then I'm really a Blue 914 type of guy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mike, You should look at Elliot Cannon's Zonker. It has a Sheridan narrow kit and a stockish 3.2 and a roll bar but is very well sorted... and gorgeous...

the 914-6 conversions aren't all bad. If you get one that is "correct" it will likely be smaller displacement than your 911 friends have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

There are many things that make this a much-than-less 40K six! May be a turnkey car, but not for long (no pun intended).

Agree there is something going on there and I hope it is not rust. I would love to see that car go back to Adriatic Blue - terrific color.

All that being said, this is, in my humble opinion a $25K car unless that door gap is just (hopefully) a bad adjustment. If there is truly no rust I would possibly stretch to $30K if there is history/documentation for the work done and parts used, what with the matching numbers and all...
