Comes with original manuals, tools, keys, bra, spare tire, documentation, etc. Most everything is original on this car. All four original 914 steel sport wheels are also included (see pics). Runs perfectly. I've mostly driven to and from work -- plus a f 300 mile few 300 mile trips. Nearly all highway miles. Only gets driven in good weather.

Asking $28,000 -- cashier's check preferred.

Located in southeastern Washington. I'm reluctantly selling because I have two kids now and I just don't have many excuses to drive it anymore. It was passed down to me by my dad who died later that year (2009). It's a legendary car in my family, but it could be put to better use as college funds for my kids and niece and nephew.

Known Problems:

* Very slow oil leak coming from the passenger side valve cover.
* The windshield wiper turns on once from time to time when I turn on the blinker.
* Fog lights don't work. Not sure if it's just the bulbs. I've never looked in to it.
* Cracks in dash and seat leather (see pics).
* Rips in the seats (see pics).
* Broken passenger seat adjustment handle.
* Some rust, obviously (see pics).

Not original:

* 4 tip exhaust (installed circa 2012)
* Rocker panel paint
* Door speakers and 8-track player/radio
* Aftermarket interior plastic light cover
* CB radio/antenna

History:

I'm the third owner. My dad bought it from an acquaintance with ~10k miles on it in the late 70s. He put ~35k miles on it. He parked it in 1985 because it developed a bad leak from the oil filter pedestal and he couldn't afford the repair (his first kid was born that year).

He passed it on to me when I graduated high school and I paid for the gasket repair and to get it running again. Richard Buechler at Apline Motors in Hayden, ID did the work and has performed most major maintenance. Service invoices are available upon request.

In 2015, Northwest Radiators in Spokane, WA applied a liner to the fuel tank. The fuel filter was needing regular changes from rust in the tank from sitting for so long. Unbeknownst to me, they also unnecessarily applied this liner to the exterior of the tank. You can see this in some frunk pics.

In 2021, I had a painter friend sandblast and repaint the rocker panels, since they were considerably faded. The targa top and exterior plastic side panels also got a few coats of black plastic restorer.
