I've got to let it go. $20,000 firm (and that is a steal).

72 rust free (really) 914/4
82 911SC 3.0 professionally built, under 10,000 miles.
Car was done around 12 or 13 years ago (my how time flies).
This is an AWESOME car, fast, nimble, reliable, and a real head turner.
Tires look brand new (as I said, under 10,000 miles on car since built) but aged.

Frankly I feel it's getting a bad reputation since it hasn't sold over the last few years... but NO ONE has looked at it, yet I have had many low-ball offers (welcome to the arm-chair cyber shopping era (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) ).

The car speaks for itself (obviously I am not doing it justice), the only problem with it being harbored under a car cover in a garage, it is in desperate need of someone who will at least let it outdoors once in a while!

beautiful car! i especially like the rear flares. if i'd the cash, i'd totally buy this. why no responses? i suspect some of us have no cash and others are afraid to spend. perhaps a trade?

how about posting up a video so we could hear her?

hope you don't mind, i've posted a link to this ad on another forum (yikes! there are other forums?!). blackbird guy's asking about vette vs. z...

ps. nonesense, you've posted some beautiful pics.

I point at your car often when people start nit picking the $2300 914 I'm trying to sell.

Honestly I think people expect to be able to buy a car as nice as yours for what I'm asking.

I have long thought this one of the most attractive and appealing builds around. Good luck. Its worth every penny of the asking price.

$20k for a buttoned up 3.0/6? Absolute steal. Someone is getting in cheap.

Yes, when the Yellow Zonker sold (or should I say was given away) at such a low price, in my opinion it set a very bad precedent. Now cars with 35k+ invested are going just a paltry smidge over a bone stock 4. Not that I have anything against that, it just shows now is the right time to buy the dream cars (hint, hint), or the right time to sell the pristine originals (though I think they are going overseas).

Dang, I've always had bad timing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )

Are you advertising on other sites? 914world has a lot of enthusiasts but there are car buyers who don't know this site. If you haven't already, I would suggest pelican, the samba and craigslist among others.

More pictures... This helps show the amount of work involved (this car was completely soda stripped, dash out, tank out) which I think gives you some idea of what went into this; There was also a question about the rotors (I can only find pictures of the front).

Thanks,
Anthony

OK - I don't know how to use my camera (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) - it shut off before you could hear me rev it up. Back to the tech manual for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) .

Consider this a teaser, I guess...

Beautiful car.

Evidently it never rains where you drive. Wipers?

I love Colorado for the weather, we get plenty of nice days per year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

This car is not a daily driver for me.
However, when I do get caught in some rain, I just keep the speed up and the Rain-X applied, no troubles at all! Obviously if the rain were bad enough I would pull over anyway (any convenient shelter), Safety first and I wouldn't dare let any rain enter the engine compartment, you know, it's my duty to keep that hell hole pristine!

It took 2 years to "give the Yellow Zonker away". Good luck.
