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.


Those WTB ads actually work? Especially when you request "low price" in the ad? Everyone usually wants top dollar for everything...

Nice score!

I was looking for a tub a couple of years ago and called a guy on CL in Virginia.
He said "I just got off the phone with a guy named Mark". He told me it was still available so I passed on it.

Next I called about a tub in Elizabeth City, NC...same thing, "I just hung up with Mark!"
Then he said "Mark" was interested.
I bought it quickly... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Thanks Mark! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

LOL Funny.

I think the one on pelican in Florida is in pretty nice condition and price for a possible 6 conversion/GT. George/painted man, took a look at it and said its a good east coast roller that needs a few touch ups. He has pics. If you do buy it make sure to return the favor to George.

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?.


It's a 1971, the only year that had a different pattern vinyl interior.
Sometimes referred to as 'Elephant hyde'

I think you should feel guilty and give the seller a few more grand because you stole that at $2500! lol

I wouldn't change a damn thing about that car.
Except: tires, mild type 4 build, and good suspension upgrades.
Just make it cheap and fun.

That would be the smart thing to do.

Finally got around to getting the car registered.
Tax was $30 - because all my cars cost $500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
Lifetime antique tag registration is $75
Title is $50
Service fee $40

Insurance is $75 since it's just added onto my other 914 and I guess they figure I won't drive either car very much?

6 goes in next week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I say narrow, yellow, 6.

Edit: I just realized I'm late to the color debate. Nice find.
