I was just casually looking at this car and before I knew what was happening, I started making offers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Now it's on the way to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) 1973 signal orange. 1 owner the last 29 years. Original radio..everything works except cigarette lighter and washer squiters. This was the non original engine that I posted a question about "value". It was upgraded to a 1911 back in 01. Dual 34ICT Weber carbs - 1911cc w/96mm pistons & liners - hydraulic lifters, (no valve clearance adjusting) - street performance cam - hardened valve seats - high volume oil pump - auxiliary oil cooler w/fan -Pertronix breakerless ignition, (never change points again) - 911 turbo tie rods - Bilstein struts & shocks - Bursch muffler - hybrid hi-torque starter - rebuilt front calipers - German rebuilt ATE rear calipers - parking brake works - virtually all rubber has been replaced - carpet replaced - vinyl on seats & back panel as well as fuzzy strip in windows replaced - original radio still works - flawless dash. Turn signal/dimmer & wiper/washer mechanisms have been replaced - factory Pedrini alloys w/correct center caps. I will probably engage the good Dr. to refresh the 901; 1st and 2nd are sensitive on downshifting. All shifter bushings have been replaced. I will update the VIN Registry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) ; it's not in there currently. All southern car it's entire life, so very dry (I know, I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ). 1 respray, but that was way back in 01. Everyone always asks for pictures, so here is what I have so far. [attachmentid=473 704][attachmentid =473710][attachme ntid=473714][atta chmentid=473718][ attachmentid=473722][attachmentid=4737 25] Attached image(s) |

Dan you may have a problem. Not a bad one to have with a car like that one. Do I get to be first in line when you sell? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This PO reminds me of your passion with the 914. The level of care and detail is just great to see from this owner of 26 years. He sent a dozen boxes of spare parts, extras, replaced parts, etc. He labeled everything. He even sent a note saying the car only has had one kind of oil for 26 years and he outlined what it was. The job the PO did and the care he showed is amazing and makes me want to step up. I only wish I had this dedication. Such a great experience buying a car like this from a guy like that. You know he was in love with the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |
