Have mentioned my purchase of this car several times on this forum. Its an extremely original car with one owner until July of last year. 45k miles and 100% original with the exception of tires, muffler and a partial repaint of the front left quarter due to a parking garage scrape in 1990.

There are many pics in the link. I was going to wait until I had the car completely detailed on the underside but that will take a while so decided to share these. Some day will share the completely detailed car.

I bought this car because I'm a fiend for originality. Love this car. Paid north of 30 and well worth it in my opinion. Car is well documented. I plan to keep it just as it is.

Well now you went & spoiled it!!!! .... it's no longer a one owner car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Very nice & you have some time to finish up the detailing for your Peachtree Region Concours!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

You may also want to take it to the Parade in Indiana this year too - it's at a nice park up there.

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That is one sweet teener! Is it an east coast car?

It must have been in a pretty large time capsule... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Excellent...excellent...excellent. Only the third car I have seen with the dealer prep labels intact.

I see its a late 1973 model year, and it has the 1974 black plastic thresholds. Tailbadges plastic too? Are the engine lid letters chrome plastic or metal?

Are you going to leave the undercoating intact?

Is your Bumblebee just as nice and is it on the LE Registry?

Very nice. Reminds me of my first 914. 74 2.0. Not as nice even when I had it, but boy do I wish I still had it. Congrats. I'm local so I hope to see it out at some PCA events next year.

Thanks for the nice comments. I'll need to check the engine lid letters and tail badges. The car is i my storage so will be a few days before I can do that. I do know that the the thresholds are original...discussed with original owner and also are attached with the original rivets.

As for the undercoating, right now the plan is to clean it up but ;eave the undercoating. Seems like a huge job to remove it. Why do you ask?

As for the bumblebee, that is not my car. Some of the pics were taken hy the previous owner and it is his car. Would love to have it.

Thanks for the comments. We just joined PCA and will try to make a few of the events. I also have a '96 Twin turbo and my wife has a 2011 Cayman. Most likely will do a few of the shows just for fun.

Actually is was a Minneapolis car! Owned by a Dr. there who drive it carefully in summers and took very good care of it. A real nice guy who was very helpful with helping me understand its history.

Keeping the undercoating is a tough call. Not original from the factory but dealer installed, and usually haphazardly and difficult to remove. Looks much better without it and I doubt you will ever drive this in the rain so it does not need it. I understand the dilemma.

If you can put me in touch with the Bumblebee owner I would appreciate it.

If you still have his contact information, could you ask him to register it with Jeff B? You might have noticed that he has a positive obsession with the LE cars... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

VERY nice.

Similar in condition to my 74 2.0 which is also a low mileage survivor with all records. Only paint work on mine is a documented respray of the rear decklid in 1974. Even the door rubbers are still soft. I have AC but I did ditch the York boat anchor for a Sanden figuring that the system was aftermarket anyway.

I bought mine approx 5 years ago and, while have no plans to sell her, I am glad to see that the price of teh very best 914's has risen so dramatically since then.

Gotta love original cars.

Amphicar... I assume by your name you have one. So as not to divert this thread, would you mind making a thread and posting some pix?. Would love to see it. I think amphicars are one of the coolest vehicles ever built, would love to own one.
