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 |

There are several low mile cars on e bay now, and that boston car is certainly original enough, but even I think that 29 is a bit too much for a 1.7.
Of course you purchase a car like this and you are now the automatic caretaker of your own personal 914 museum and can not drive the car much at all or you will drive the value off. That is why I now like the lesser cars. Fix them up, and they are great to drive in bliss not having to worry about a nick or scratch. Steve and I now between us have 16 914s that we really cannot drive and enjoy as we did when we were young. HOWEVER, the best thing is that we constantly have 914s around that we can drive and have fun with, respectable, but not too nice! |
