Someone had asked about the Porsche stripes on the rocker panel covers. They are original dealer installed when new and are in a similar condition as the rest of the car. Very, very original.
Open to offers. Would prefer to sell before winter sets in. |

In the early 70’s the European Union and the US EPA were cracking down on solvents in paints and clear coat finishes. Car companies were trying to come up with alternatives. Many cars in the early 70’s that were painted with metallic silver failed within the first few years… Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, GM. The replacement for solvent based clear coat just did not hold up. Most if not all of these cars required a repaint within the first 5 years.
If you see a silver 911 or 914 of that vintage in excellent shape it has been repainted. The fact that this car was not ever repainted throughout its entire life is what attracted me to it. I knew with absolute 100% certainty that this car has never been in an accident, never been hit, never been rusted. If you buy a 50 year old car with a shiny paint job, you just have no idea of what has been done to the car over the last 50 years… could have rust repair, could have panel replacements, could have bondo… you just never know. With this car, you know exactly what you have.The car is solid. It is also mechanically sound and structurally perfect. It is the perfect driver as is. In my opinion it has two values. The first as a survivor. To the collector who wants a car they can drive, not just own… and know that it is perfectly 100% original with no damage or rust history, and mechanically sound… this is the car. The second is the owner who wants to know with 100% certainty that if he invests in his car, he has a rock solid original car that has a pristine body and is mechanically sound. An already painted/restored car can hide many imperfections and/or previous damage/rust repair. In addition, this car has no defects in the ‘hell hole’ or the rocker panels or other areas 914’s are known for corrosion. This car is mechanically and 100% structurally perfect. |

Hey Jeff, it's Paul. Thought I'd chime in and thank you for the help you gave me when I bought my 1974 1.8 Phoenix Red car back in 2008.
For those of you looking at this car I can vouch that jagalyn really knows his stuff, he's a long time multiple 914 owner and if he says it's good, it's good! GLWS Paul |
