My wife and I are getting close to pulling the trigger to buy a Porsche 914. As you can see from my signature line, I'm not scared to buy cars from that era. We love fun to drive small "value" sports cars from the late 60's-early 70's.
I'm currently studying 3 cars. 2 are local (which I strongly prefer) and 1 is not (I'm not scared to ship, after all I imported 2 of my current fleet and others have come from Arizona and New York). The car that is not local is quite frankly over our budget and I think overpriced. However, it is a color that my wife loves deeply and if it could be negotiated down a little bit and if it really is a great car, I may be willing. I'm going to be going to look at and drive the two local cars soon. Is it okay Forum Etiquette to post links and solicit input? I would love to see all the comments criticizing and tearing up the cars. They don't belong to me so you won't be insulting me and if I buy one of them, at least I know how bad they are. The VIN numbers don't show up in the databases here so I assume I won't be insulting members. Our current desire (but willing to consider others) Excellent Condition (2, may 3+) 1973 2.0 We don't care about A/C at all. None of our old (pre 2000) cars have A/C and we don't mind driving them in Atlanta summer (both my wife & I grew up in Georgia without Air Conditioning) Color - needs to be interesting - Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, prefer not Gray-scale (but again, great condition may overcome that) My original budget was <20k but I'm considering increasing that a little bit (again, great condition can overcome that) I thought about posting this in the WTB Classified but since I'm soliciting discussion on specific cars, thought this would get attention. (Moderators - if you want to move to that forum, fine by me) Thanks |

PS - I realized I didn't do any kind of link above for that C.H.O.M.P.S. movie with the white/light ivory 914 as the lead Valerie Bertonelli's car in several scenes, so here is one, & there are several U-tubers out there of trailers & scenes, but I'm not going to search them all.
It's not a great movie, as you can tell from the link below, but it does feature a 914 in scenes throughout the movie, & perhaps the or one of the most featured 914s in any movie. If you watch it all the way through, then you'll notice in one or more scenes that they could've used one of Mark/Mikey914/914Rubber's rear bumper top pads on it!
