Really nice car, looks like a great purchase. It has the look of a 63K car that has not been abused. Congrats!

Great looking car, congratulations! How does it run? Put some 4 lug Fuchs on it with the biggest rubber you can fit on them, adjust the stance, and drive it!!

very very nice.

lucky you.

if its not too much bother, when you have time take some photos of the charcoal can in the engine bay and post them.
in particular - hoses and where they go at both ends.
research purposes.
the engine bay looks very unmolested.

Sweet find, how is she running? any plans for upgrades? Everyday the number of these clean "low" mileage cars is getting les and less.

Plenty of time left. Do it so we can see your lovely find. Also, put in VIN database if not already there.

Thanks all...

So I have 4 fun car spots in my garage..Three were taken with my 1974 Yellow 2.0 that I restored down to the bare metal...a 1974 GTV 2000 in red, a 1971 911S in Gemini blue...and I had one spot open...and as we know, the hunt is the fun part. I wasn't looking for another 914. But then I received a call from Kent at ARI in Stratford, CT. He told me he had seen an all original 914 that I should go and see. I wasn't going to, but he told me it was the nicest one he had seen in a long time. I also wasn't sure I wanted a white car...So off I went to Southport CT to a garage where it was on consignment from an Estate. The first and only owner had passed last year. She was a retired school teacher and had owned the car since day one. Always garaged, but driven often. The shop where the car was located had serviced the car for almost the last 20 years.

He opened the garage and there it was. In a few minutes I could also tell that this was the real deal. 63,000 miles seemed right. Hardly any inside wear. All original, bar perhaps the radio? Some very minor surface rust where you would expect. All panels read about 3.5. Hell hole? What hell hole! clean as a whistle. runs like a charm and very quiet inside. A bit different than my 74. No appearance package, no fog lights - but what are those deep inserts in the front bumper for? Big heavy rubber bumpers..where are all the gauges? and no Fuchs....But wow....what a nice car and the white really looks good in the sun and with all the black. ARI did a full PPI and except for some maintenance items...nothing. Leakdown tests at about 4-5%. Smooth gear changes and everything works.

We made the deal and then I asked my wife if I could buy another car....
