Bought a 66 912 ago 9 yrs ago, same story. Guy was 2nd owner, bought it in 68 or 69 drove it for about 10yrs then life got in the way (wife, kids, .....).
My FIL was out to breakfast one Saturday and was wearing a 914 hat I gave him. Owner of 912 ask if he had a 914 and they got talking about cars, my sickness for anything Porsche. Guy said he was ready to sell the 912. Kids & grandkids didn't want it, hadn't ran in 25+yrs. FIL called me and we went to look at it. Took us about 2hrs to remove all the stuff stored around it. It was very complete with tool kit, original spare, paperwork, dull original green paint....... I was able to turn the engine by hand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Made him what I felt was a fair offer at the time and it was mine. I should have kept it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) but a few weeks after I brought it home a friend of a friend made me a cash offer I couldn't refuse and well I sold it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) They are out there. I know of a few other lost early Porsche cars in my area, but owners are not ready to sell. |
