I need to sell my car and I am looking to get a fair price for it. I need to sell it soon. Send any serious offers to me and I'll get back as soon as possible. Included one photo and a link to view all photos.
I purchased this car 5 years ago from another 914 World member. It spent most of its life in the mid-west and south United States so it shows no signs of any rust. The car has undergone a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration in the past 6 months. Car was mechanically stripped to bare metal, etch primed, epoxy primed, any dents repaired, and painted original color (paint code L 95K) with 7 coats of PPG Palma Green metallic, followed by 3 coats of clear, then sanded and buffed to a perfect shine. Paint looks amazing. Minor cosmetic changes have been made to this very original car that suited my taste and I believe most Porsche enthusiast would not object to. Modifications: 1. Front bumper has been replaced with an early chrome 914-6 style bumper with matching front valance. 2. Front side markers removed and filled solid. 3. A 911S rear reflector was incorporated in the rear between the tail light and a remote deck release also installed. 4. The original 4 lug wheels have been replaced with real Fuchs 5 lug wheels that have been powder coated satin black. 5. Installed Porsche graphics in gold to lower side valances. 6. Replaced original steering wheel with Momo with Porsche center cap along with a Sony stereo. Mechanically the car has all the brakes system parts replaced including rebuilt PMB calipers, pads, and hoses. Engine runs fine and has had a recent tune up. Starts and idles as it should and runs out well in all gears. Details: 1. Body – Solid, no rust that has been mechanically stripped to bare metal and etch primed, epoxy primed, and painted correct factory color Palma Green (paint code L 95 K). Sanded and polished. 2. Engine – Original 1.8 liter fuel injected engine. L-jet fuel injection. Runs perfectly, recent tune up. 3. Transmission – Original 5 speed manual transmission. 4. Wheels/Tires – Wheels are 5 lug Fuchs that have been powder coated satin black to match the paint scheme of the car. Tires are brand new Falken Ziex 205/50R 16 5. Interior – Stock interior in great condition. New light weight carpet set installed. Momo steering wheel and Sony stereo. My Webpage - Craigslist ad |

I have gotten some good feedback and some not so good feedback on my car. The not so good is only that the purist does not like the fact that I changed out the front bumper to the early style and that I had the Fuchs wheels powder coated to match the paint scheme I chose to go with.
That being said, those are things that can be changed at a relatively low cost to the new owner. This is an extremely nice car that has not been mistreated and had very little rust to start with. I have photos of the car in bare metal so there are no surprises to be had. I also went with quality parts like PMB brakes and such during the rebuild. The good news is that the car is straight and solid and has a great paint job done to it in the correct factory color. It retains the original fuel injection system and runs excellent. It has brand new Falken tires on it mounted to real 5 lug Fuchs wheels. The interior is in excellent condition and has new carpeting as well. I myself did not enjoy the look of the original front bumper. I feel the early style is much more appealing on the nose. Someone had plated the original Fuchs prior to me buying it and it was a poor plating job that had to be stripped. Small defects in thee wheels meant it was not possible to replate them. That's why I decided to go with powder coating as the best surface finish on them. Thanks Russ |
