I've mentioned my interest in the past year to find another pristine car. I realize just how hard the search may be but I'm actually quite patient. Realize there are a few of these cars around but they just don't come up very often. Some of you know that I did find a beautiful '73 survivor. Love the car but my wife and I are both fanatics about survivor cars and we've come to love the 914's.
Not looking for restorations or repaints. Looking for a Sahara Beige Steve-type car. Even better if it is a unique color like Steve's or the classic 70's green's and orange cars. And even better if it is an original owner car. I hear Pat Garvey may have a really nice car but not the time to sell apparently. I'm patient and in fact buying one one in 6-12 months is a bit better for me than today but I'd like to start the search and if one came up quickly I'll give it some real hard thought as to pulling the trigger. The next interesting question is what a pristine car would go for these days. Have not seen anything like this being sold in the past 12+ months. I have some thoughts but hard to say. Always interested if anyone here knows of one out here..... Thanks Steve |

Pretty, what color is that? This one's for sale locally. It's a '73 2.0 with 38K. I can PM you the seller's contact info if you're interested. Unless it's a 98 or 99 paint code - & never repainted - then it's not an original color/paint job. It looks too dark to be Aubergine #98 (paint to another Porsche color), but that could be camera &/or display color differences. I can't think of any other purple-ish colors like that in the Porsche colors up to the md-70's - but maybe there is something. So otherwise, I think it would probably have to be a #99 "paint to customer sample" color. If that seller has the original documentation from new &/or COA which gives the 98 or 99 paint info, then it would be a good one to add to the 914 info. I'm pretty sure Steve is looking for an all original 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
