1973 sunflower yellow 914 2.0 150,000 original miles, everyone gets taken now and then Options

[dr914@autoatlanta.com]

Here is what I originally posted: 1973 Porsche 914 2.0 the one everyone wants, 50,000 original miles
Everyone wants the 73 2.0 because it had the highest horsepower engine along with all of the factory options: center console with gauges, front and rear sway bars, leather wheel dual horns, chrome bumpers, Fuchs alloy wheels, and this one even has a rear window defroster and Blaupunkt cassette. One owner, all records, original window sticker and tool kit, spent its whole life in Washington State until recently being acquired by us. Never damaged one repaint for some reason. This car has been sitting since 1993 so will be fully serviced by our award winning shop before delivery. You can take it from there. $15,000 (will be more if we finish the car before having a deal on it)

here is what I found out: George, I’m terribly chagrinned at these developments. Since the car had been sitting for 30 years and the good condition of the upholstery and the clutch and brake pedal rubbers I figured the mileage was correct. But then, I’m a novice at the nuances of used cars. I hope there are no other surprises and that a profit can be made on your behalf. Bob

Hi Bob, just thought that I would give you some feedback on the car:
You said: Looking for advice. A friend of a friend inherited this 2.0 from his mother 15 years ago and the car hasn't run since he parked it in his garage. He attempted to get it running but has suffered serious health problems and doesn't have the wherewithal to complete it. The car has 50,000 original miles. All the parts are there including a new gas tank to replace the original that was leaking. The interior is excellent. The hell-hole, while covered in dust and dirt seems solid. I don't see any rust around the usual places. The vinyl is pealing up from the lower part of the sails but that's about as bad as it gets. He has many receipts for work done on it as well as a clear title in his name. His mom was the second owner. FWIW, the original owner was an MD. The car even has the original tool kit. I would buy the car but my garage has 3 Porsches and a Lexus coupe. So the owner has asked me to figure out what a legitimate price is and, perhaps, a new owner who will do the car justice and not just try to flip it. Suggestions?






Well the car has 150, 000 plus miles on it, and has been totally repainted with overspray. Have not put it on the rack yet, but there is a big rat hole behind the passenger seat where the rodent ate through the back pad, so not so great after all. Please do not get me wrong, I am not complaining because I am the one who bought it sight unseen, but thought at least that the miles would be correct, but just an old worn 914 this one., Will have to recondition it and sell it, no where good enough for me to keep! Such is life. Cost 1400 to get it here

Still a good car and being sold to a guy who knows exactly what the car is now
