I haven't been hanging out on 914world much these past few years. You guys were always such a great resource and so friendly when I was more active. I met some really generous and *good* people. Life has changed a lot since I saw this car of mine for sale in a field south of Livingston MT back in 2005. I've got a lot of heart invested in this car and it will be bitter/sweet when it leaves. Time to let it go. Thanks for the kind wishes, all.

One more pic of the instrumentation I've added: Cylinder Head Temperature, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature and Fuel Level. Lights for Low Oil Pressure, Low Voltage, Low Fuel and Brake Fail. All gauges are fully functional.

Yes, the car is located in Montana. Raby 2270 has about 9000 miles on it. Runs as strong as ever with no oil consumption. It does leak engine oil, about a quarter-sized puddle over 3-4 days, but that's not uncommon with these engines.

I live just on the other side of the mountain in the first pic, so have a rough idea where this is. I would be happy to take a look if anyone wants a second set of eyes.

Cool. I hope it works out for all of you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Weird to learn there are a number of nice teeners around here and I never see them.

Hi all - I've decided to take the car off the market for the time being. Need to do some soul searching on why I'm selling it, possibly correct some things with the car. Thanks to all for your compliments, encouragement and feedback.

How do I remove or otherwise de-activate this ad?
