Doc up the street from me is moving. He's a real Porsche guy. had a C4, downgraded (?) to a C2, and then to one of the nicest '83 SC's I've ever seen.

So, late this afternoon, I'm underneath the 914 & he knocks on the the wall of the garage. Pleasantries pass - then he says he wants to buy my 914! What? Yeah, he's serious & offers 15.5! Well, it's on jackstands & he can easily see it a nice 914. And he has seen it in the "hood".

So, flashback. 1982 or 1983, I'm stil living the Cininnati area & another Doc, (a tooth pounder) sees my 914 at a concours & offers $10K for it. I was tempted until he told me it was for his son's 16 birthday!

Well, I asked this doc what he would do with it & he said "drive it". His oldest son will get the 911 in 8 years, but this would be for his pesonal use.

So, what do I do?

For thse of you who are uninformed, I've had this 914 from new. It's been a member of the family for 35 years. Never had a garage that this car wasn't in. Other Porsches have come & gone, but this is the "baby"

What would you do? Need to make a decision by Sunday!

Tempting, butwhat would I relpace it with for $17K (my counter offer). Would go a long way towards a real six (if they still exist).
