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 |

Hi, I own the car currently.
I got some interesting history on the car from the second owner in the last day or so. It seems this this car was originally purchased by his brother from Circle Porsche in Long Beach, CA by his brother Thad Bosley in 1975. Thad Bosley is a former MLB star that played for the California Angels. He purchased the car right after signing his rookie contract with the Angels. He went on to have a long major league career with multiple major league teams. He was a celebrated out fielder for the Angels and after doing some research on him, it appears that he had a lifetime batting average over .300! That's awfully rare to be able to say that. Thad has a bio listed at www.ThadBosley.com if you are interested in learning more about him. Thad is alive and doing well in California I am happy to say. Well, his brother bought the car from him in 1976 and owned the car for about 32 years till about 1998 or so when I believe 914world member SCV purchased it. Don told me that he was the one that had the car repainted in Sun Flower yellow and performed many of the mechanical/cosmetic modes to suit his taste. I thinks it a really cool back story behind this car and have hopes that Don will possibly buy it back to complete its full circle life from Circle Porsche. Anyway, I do have to sell it and hopefully if Don does not purchase it, a fellow 914world member will. Thanks Russ |
