Fellow 914 owners,
Having owned a 914 since 1971 you might say I'm committed to the design. That said I plan on furthering that commitment by purchasing this car. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=341050 The owner is located in Vacaville, California I believe and because I am located in New England I will be unable to actually see the car before I purchase and was wondering if a fellow member would be willing to look at the car for me. Thanks, Mark |

I would normally help since this is fairly close to me but i pulled a muscle in my lower back on Saturday and i can't walk (or drive) let alone crawl under a car to inspect it.

Thanks, Mark Forget the PPI. if you have the means, and a 914-6 with this kind of documented history and restoration is for sale within your budget, buy it. buy it all day. |

wow I would say that in today's market that car is a hell of a buy and with the meticulous care that it has been given in its construction and maintenance, someone should immediately jump on it.

Dominic's name comes up on here pretty often and it looks like he's been a member for 16 years.

You need a pen to write the check. Last I saw this car it was parked in front of my business in Sonoma. It is pretty fuchin’ immaculate... That’s not enough money... it would cost that to build it. |

How much could a r/t flight cost out Sat morning and inspect the car then flight back Sunday, for an $80000 investment sounds reasonable to me. You could even pay in person. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Is your weekend really that booked? Babysitters too expensive? You're buyin an $80000 pleasure car.

I would want to see in person. I guess $80K means more to me than it does to others. |

This is not a defense of my decision just an explanation why I am not venturing from the east coast to the west and back to view Dominic's 914-6.. I'm 70 years old and still work 40 hours per week including 12 hour night shifts on the weekends in a hospital boiler room /chiller plant /RO-DI water treatment / emergency generator / engineering facility. I'm a blue collar individual with a penchant for Porsche's (914's specifically) and European motorcycle of Italian and German descent. The sum of money we are discussing is by no means minor at my income level and I will be robbing from Peter to pay Paul (depleting my retirement account) realizing it will postpone my retirement several years. Well worth the sacrifice in my opinion looking at the spec's of this car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

You have a better history of the GT than most do, When I owned it it had never been in a major crash, I think a front fender was replaced..maybe not , long time ago,,
the flares were on it and there was a bubble at the weld in a couple spots..other than the mice infestation ,,It was a great -6, I know all the people from Wa. that played with it. Untill Brooke sold it.... Conrad the painter was used by alot of the crowd in the Seattle area.. you can check out Brooke on pelican and a few posts here ,, RSwannabe ...there was some of the resto paint on pelican, but Ithink he deleted it,He is a 911 guy..Akers who built the engine has been in downtown Seattle for ever..Good Luck Also Redmond Euro did the trans, as they did the 3.o install, It had the factory -6 tailshift trans when I had it. The main harness behind the brake fluid reservoir, was missing the tape wrap when I bought it, I assumed the mice ate it... brooke had The transmission was rebuilt by Bernie Buschen with custom short gears (A, F, Ka, Q, X) and a GT torsion limited slip differential. |
