After much contemplation, soul searching, and a reality check I have come to the conclusion that I am going to sell my 914-6.

The short, been in the family since 1976-77? I was 9 or 10 when it came into my life! It was the car that made me fall in love with mid engine cars. I have been fortunate enough to own a few 914s, but also a few other mid engine wonder cars. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for a 914. Here is the rub, I am not a keep a car stock sort of person.

Long story can be found in my sig.

I have found no rust that would keep me from building the car the way it is. There is a bit of surface rust in the shift tunnel. Floors, logs, door posts everything looks solid. You can open both doors, and they shut with that nice German car precision. The good, most of the original parts are here. I some how misplaced the master cylinder (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Original wheels where steelies, long gone. It is rolling on a set of fake Mahle gas burners. Easy cheap wheel to keep it so it can roll. It is ready to roll out and up onto your trailer.

PM me if you are interested and want access to the entire set of pictures, I will also take more if you wish. It is on the lift so underside or th odd shot is not terribly hard.

VINs - did not find the one stamped in the rear trunk floor, I also did not go at it hard to find it.

Door sticker gone in the repaint back in the 70s

Hood is presently on the car. There are some shots with it off the car.

Sorry for the random finger in the picture.

It has its scars from years of being around the shops, always stored inside in climate controlled shop. Rear deck lid faired the worst, when a shelf full of 914-6 parts broke loose and dumped them on the trunk. Good was it had a Garold's Mom's Service cover. The bad is it picked up a few dents and a couple of scrapes. That still make my stomach churn when I see it.

Have number matching engine and transmission, this car will need some work but it is the best one I have seen as a starting point. $40,000 obo

Hi 914forme,
I am not a buyer for the 914-6, but I am interested on that jack/lift under it. What brand is that? How high does it go?
Good luck with selling the car.
Thanks.
Bill.

I looked at Stephen's car on Memorial Day. Amazingly non-rusted -6 chassis. All parts, plus a lot of extras, are all there, clean, and well organized. (Except no M/C).

I'm hesitant to write this information here because I want the car. Unfortunately, I had to decline buying it for other reasons. My wife brings up the fact that I'm not quite finished with my -6 GT conversion. If Stephen's car is still available at the end of summer, I will go get it. Timing is often everything.

26", great lift, love it, I would go on a tour and promote it. Only down side is it can not lift my wife's X5M, or the parts fetcher Silverado. Wish he would build a larger capacity unit.

apologies for continuing to hijack your sale thread with questions about the lift. I don't have an engine to measure, if this enough room to remove/install the engine/trans?

thanks and stay safe

To the 914world community and experts: Is there anyone you would recommend I can hire to restore this car? You can PM me with your recommendations. I wrench 928s, but not really much info in wrenching 914 out there and I don't want to be the next "Longest Restoration Project" record holder :-)

thanks so much
