Picked it up in San Jose this evening and drove it home about 60 miles to San Juan Bautista on the backroads. Much, much different than my 2.0 four. Only took about 20 miles to get the hang of the tail shifter. Was thinking about swaping in a side shifter but don't think so now. May have to keep the '74 so my wife can drive that one.

Original 914-6 with 73,650 documented miles. About as original as they come. 2.0 with top end rebuild about 5,000 miles ago. Rebuilt transmission. All original interior including radio. Paint job looks new. I asked the PO when he had it repainted. Replied that it was repainted by the owner prior to him. Looked brand new to me (I have had four neighbors ask about the new paint job already)

Bumpers were rechromed, seals are all new. Carpet in new. Guages were sent out and redone. Everything works. Came with and additional set of polished 6 x 15 Fuchs.

Only thing keeping it from being a full concors car is the motor is not original to the car. Still a 914-6 motor but not numbers matching. And the tool kit has some Sears screw drivers.

Time to go out and have a beer and just enjoy looking at it.


Enjoy the photos.

Just a small development of 30 new homes that the town forced the architects to match the local character. Only 1,400 residents. Just a small mission town.

Paid exactly $20,000 for it. Down slightly from the asking price of $23,000.

Thanks Rob. Been reading previous listings about differences between 4's and 6's while I was waiting for the deal to go through. Mabye it's just the newness of it all but to me the 6 is a pretty big step above the 4. I always parked the 4 after a run with a grin on my face. Now the grin lasts a whole lot longer.

Unfortunately I have to go out of town for the weekend so tonights ride will have to do until next weekend.

Contact me if you get down for the historics. Kathy and I would love to see you (and Linda if the wedding cancels)
