Well, the economy has taken it's toll on me, and I have to let go of the Red Car after 12 years of ownership. Here's the basics:

72 body, painted Metallic red, including the top & Mahles. Hell hole de-rusted a couple of years ago, replaced the engine shelf & battery tray. Trunks painted black. 2.0 FI'd engine with about 35k miles on the rebuild. Sideshift conversion, gone thru a few years back. Calipers rebuilt a while back by PMB. I would not be afraid to drive this car coast to coast. H4 headlights with Pilot driving lights. Tan interior, Getty dash, Momo wheel. This is daily driver, so if you're looking for a CW car, this would not be it. I can send a write-up I did with a ton of details about the car if you're interested. I've got about 14k in it (20 if the Cap'n would have charged me labor). I have lots & lots of pics from thruout my ownership. I'm asking $6,500.00 OBO. Here's a few of the pics:

Thanks. I'm hoping it goes to someone who can appreciate all that's gone into it. It's been a labor of love for a long time.

I think you are mistaking me for the guy in costa mesa. However,
in Howard's memory I had to try (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Good Luck with the sale, I know you put alot of work into it.

Possibly.
Thanks, I'm taking a bath on selling, but the economy has me by the short hairs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

More pics.
1st is the Hellhole. It's not easy to get a pic of the area when everything is in place, but you can see that it's been taken care of. It's dirty, but not rusty.

Next is an engine pic. Looks just like a standard 2.0. Which it is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Attached Image

The drivers seat is showing it's age, and I planned on replacing it with this, which is included with the car:

This is a Monaco seat, in tan leather.

The car is a daily driver, so it's not perfect. I inadvertently dented the rear fender when I was working on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Dent-Pro's could probably pull it out without a problem.

Attached Image

It's also starting to get some surface rust, which I can't afford to have fixed, which is one of the main reasons I'm selling it now, rather than later. No garage on the ranch, so it won't get any better on it's own. Better to send it on to someone who will take care of the problem before it gets bad. The paint on the drivers side fender also has an issue, I don't think it was prepped well, the paint has an adhesion problem where the side marker used to be.

The car will also have a few extras, like a 5th Mahle, painted to match, but needs to be straightened. I also have a matching electric passenger mirror to the painted drivers side one, and the wiring harness for the heated power mirrors, which is also included.

The gauges in the Getty dash are, left to right:

CHT/Volts, by New Vintage, 904 style triple gauge with tank, oil pressure & oil temp, standard tach, speedo rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer, zero'd and installed when this engine was installed, and clock, rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer, with the modern guts and a vintage face.

The bumpers are a rechromed early (70) style front, from bdstone914, and an original early (70) rear, which is showing a little discoloration in spots.

The front and side valences were repainted, and came out glossier than expected, but look good to me, so I left them alone. There is no rear valence.

I took some pics of the trunks, but I'll need to crop before I post them.

I also remembered that most of the rubber on the car (including the bumper tops) was replaced with NOS when the car was painted in 06. The non-NOS rubber was replaced with new aftermarket rubber.

Thanks. I really hate to sell it, and can't really drop the price, so I'm just waiting. At least if I keep treading water, I won't drown. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey Mark,

I also have a '72 with a 2.0 and FI. Exhaust is Monza. My car has some cosmetic issues (terrible re-paint by PO) but it SCREAMS when I drive her. VERY strong pulling beast - and it sounds just as good as it runs! I was wondering if that's your impression of yours too? I have a somewhat limited 914 experience of driving other cars.

Your car looks to be a very good deal for someone. Sorry you are forced to sell her. I did the same thing with a wonderful early 911 last fall so you are not alone, mate.

Thanks,
Baz (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes, this pulls well. It'll do even better with the exhaust changed from the 76 heat exchangers. Mine has a Bursch, and it's a little loud for my taste, but others really like the sound. All I've had up to now were 1.7's, and this is a big difference.

Is your car still for sale? I would have a few follow up questions, but I guess they can wait until I find that out first! I'm in Monterey (so not too far), and am interested in your car. If you are still selling the car, let me know, and if you have sold it, congratulations.
