Drove all day to pick up another one. '71 with 36K miles on it. 10 foot repaint from orange to red - shiny. Has hellhole issues. The car is pretty much unmolested and the original interior is mostly pristine. I think it needs shocks and rear springs. My teenage daughter said it would be acceptable for her to be seen in the car. Car is to be a driver for at least the summer and then we'll decide where to go from there.

Congrats! Looks like a good car....

Now what's with the human jackstand? I've seen alot of stashed parts, tools, and golden collectibles in people's garages. This is my favorite. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Sorry, it made me laugh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Reminds me that my kids will someday have to put me into a home and I too should buy them a 914 to drive as well.

Umm, Bill, I think there is a footer/signature maximum.

Once you hit Too Many Cars Listed, it starts adding mileage automatically to the 914s that aren't rollers.

Obviously, I don't have that concern (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well, I'm not really in the market for any projects.

Geez Louise! .... these kids today! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

My son was "iffy" at best, at the prospect of getting my hopefully completed project by the time I can't drive it anymore! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

When I was in HS or College I would've died if my Dad bought/gave me a 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

... of course they were new then, Dad wasn't rich & I was a struggling student working my way through college - ergo a 3 year old used 73 2L a year+ out of school was the best I could swing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Ergo, my irrational reasons for holding onto to her non-drivable since 85, and current inane willingness to over-spend to restore here now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
... as you said somewhere else on here Mark - spending $100k to get a perfect $25k 914 - or something along those lines! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I wanted a 914 to drive this summer and this one should keep me off Scotty B's back until the 6 is done. This one has it's issues but the inside is very clean, neat and doesn't smell like gas. Came with a bunch of extra parts and a front valance. If I had to part it, I would make my money back and then some. Owner was a great guy and took "best offer".

I wanted to see what might be hiding behind the seats...

Backpad looks good and just needs a little touch up where the glue is coming loose. Attached Image

Little black screw is the plug for the 3rd seat belt. I might have to find an old belt from the back of a 911. Checked out cracks in floor tar and everything seems to be solid so far. Attached Image

Seat belt holster and rubber boot for e-brake. Attached Image

Dash, steering wheel, ect. show almost no wear. Attached Image

Crack free dash might have too much armor all. Attached Image

Original AM radioAttached Image

Yours is very nice. This one was originally signal orange and I would like to take it back to that color one day. Paging Scotty B....

I love Signal Orange too! When I bought mine new, one of my friends had a signal orange one and I did not want to be copy cat so I decided on Bahia Red.
