Bought a beautiful original 914-6 tonight, Still can't believe I have one. Options

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.
