Hey there,

I closed the deal for that 74 and it's being loaded onto the carrier as I type!

Thanks to everyone who responded to my WTB in the classifieds over the past 6 months. Very cool to know there was an army out there searching for my next 914 (and one that makes the wife happy too).

Special thanks to iwanta914-6 for the lead which ended up in the sale. Ironic, since he's yet to buy one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Also mbseto for driving over an hour to meet the seller, do a thorough PPI, and report back. Rgalla helped evaluate the photos, and tscrihfield vouched for the seller. Thanks also to everyone who responded to my thread about how to do this deal. Apparently, it takes a village.

Here are the vital stats...

74 2.0 in Ravenna Green (L65K) with COA confirming color and engine.
Original FI
Recent paint
Solid longs
Lots of originality.

Not a fan of the luggage rack, but at least it's correct. Will post more pics once it arrives early next week!

I love to read things like this. I was also fortunate enough to be turned on to my Six by a fellow member, actually I believe it was SirAndy. This is a terrific club with members who watch out for each other. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Awesome score! Leave the luggage rack for a bit. It'll grow on you.

Congrats and enjoy!

Nice job Ian,

I'd been meaning to ask what happened with the car, and here it is...

Beautiful, best of luck with it.

cary...so far yes. gotta wait till it gets here for full wife approval.
do you think it's a coincidence that she sent me a pic of diamond studs today with the caption "hint hint"?

76-914 thanks again for doing the PPI on that crazy car in the OC. You're a part of this story, too!

Congratulations on finding a fantastic car!

I think luggage racks look fantastic on 914s.

Looking forward to seeing more photos.
