My current project car is now available for sale. I've owned this car for 8 years and I've enjoyed the restoration.

It is a '74 2.0 original Bahia Red. It's a special car that has a VIN ending in 914 - 4742905914.

All rust has been repaired and the car has been repainted the original Bahia Red. Most of the rubber body seals have been replaced. Tires are in good condition.

The engine has been rebuilt to original condition with original FI and SS heat exchangers. The displacement has been increased to 2056 cc. The heads have been rebuilt, new P&C, I've installed a new Jake Raby 86a cam kit, all new bearings and new vacuum lines. All new rubber fuel lines with a new FI fuel pump. Only ethanol-free gas has been used since the rebuild. Engine was recently tuned up by Frank Eibell a local Porsche expert. The car has been driven about 500 miles since the rebuild.

Uncracked original dash pad, interior is in excellent original condition.

The brake calipers were rebuilt by Eric Shea.

Everything electrical works (except for the fresh air fan).

I've attached a link to my website showing the work I've done or had done to the car: http://www.tampabay914.com/SN_4742905914.html

If you have any questions, please e-mail to: watsonrx13@gmail.com.

Asking price: $18,000 $17,000/OBO $16,000/OBO

buy it while your GT gets done and sell it later. Prices seem to be ticking up.

Very nice.
Humm, let's see:
March 23, $18,000
April 6, $17,000
May 12, $16,000

I calculate that I will be able to afford this car in approximately 10 more months. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)


The motor and trans are so clean, are you sure they have oil in them?

Seriously good luck with the sale. But maybe with a car like that the best luck is you wind up keeping it.

Thanks for the compliments Jonathan. I do have my bottom limit and if it does reach that then I will keep it. You never know what your car's worth until someone offers you CASH.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Wow, nice build and great documentation. Congrats as well for being pragmatic about the value of a car (any car) that you have put so much work into. It sure looks well worth it to me.

SOLD, headed to Michigan.

Thanks to everyone that made the nice comments and especially to whomever nominated my ad to Bring-A-Trailer. I received several offers, cash, one for the car and cash for some land in NC and an offer from Australia.
