2 weeks ago I placed a wtb for an early 914 with low rust and low price. Yesterday I bought the blue car. Low rust, 70k total miles, rebuilt engine, terrible paint job, $2,500. Super nice seller. I think he was surprised when I said yes to his price without any negotiation. Car comes with refinished wheels, a second engine, the original one, partially rebuilt and a bunch of extras.

I may daily drive the car a bit until it goes into the shop for a GT build.o

Damn! Score! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I can't believe you got something that clean for 2.5K.

I also bit the bullet and bought a cali car so add in 1k for transportation.
But no, not selling just yet. I'm planning a GT build at my shop. Flares, six, ect. We weld, paint, rebuild engines on 911's every day so this shouldn't be a stretch. Probably a pretty high end build when all is done.

Score on the purchase! $2500 leaves lots of room.

But dd it for a while. Nothing like cheapskate miles and lots of smiles.

What's with the wipers? Did you reverse the photo?

What year?.

Its a 71 - I wanted an early car
The po just replaced the windshield so I think he switched the wipers to park on the other side.

I was wondering when that would come up.

After driving so many 6's at the shop, I'm really spoiled. My favorite shop car is a lightweight '69-911. 2000lbs and almost 300 hp. From 5k-8k it's an E ticket ride. I want to build a high revving 2.8 short stroke for this car. And I like flares so...

Owner wants to do a monster 3.6 or 3.8 mfi build. We'll see...
