ANYONE SEEN THIS ON EBAY?, '73 2.0 RED Options

[JC 914]

Good deal or what????? Comments????


You are looking at a 1973 Porsche 914. 73 is the best year as the 2.0L model had all the options standard like full gauges and center console.

This is a red car with black interior. It has just over 100,000 miles on it. New parts have all been installed within the last couple hundred miles. New performance exhaust, NEW Michilen Pilot XGT4 tires - 5 total, new clutch and clutch cable, front brake pads, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, valve cover gaskets and valves adjusted, oil change, Koni Adjustable performance shocks and new rear sway bar. The parts value alone of this stuff is about $2000 or more, NOT including installation!!! Car does move and stop under it's own power and you could potentially take it home without a trailer.

The car looks good. It has been repainted once and the paint job is okay. Nothing too nice, but certainly not a super bad job. Good ten footer for sure. The reason this car is in parts cars is that the pass side longitudinal needs replacement. The area under the battery is not rusted nor is the long under the battery, just mainly the rocker panel area is rusted out badly. The rear section of the floor will probably need replacement also as it is rusted at the firewall. I currently have the interior apart as I plan on working on this repair this winter. The pass taillight is broken as something fell on it during winter storage. It could easily go back together in minutes. It will easily sell for $5000-6000 or more with repair to the pass side long and I saw a very similar '73 sell for $9,000 last summer.

Top is in nice shape. Fuch wheels(5 of them) are good with only a little curb rash on a few of them. The car drove out real well last summer. I have not driven it much since then but I did put a new used fuel pump in it recently to fix the old one that was leaking.

I have a few manual sthat will go with the car also. Pretty much all the ones you would ever need for this car.

I just have too many project(currently have four restorations going along with normal customer work) and would like to pass this one on to a new owner so I can concentrate on other projects and reclaim some of my storage space.

really have to watch the frame rust damage. Easily but expensively repaired. Can turn a "good deal" 2000 dollare 2.0 into a $10,000 nightmare!

What George said!

If the passenger side has rust you just know it is lurking on the drivers side. If not outside then inside. Figure $1000/side if you are going to have the outers done professionally. + floor + firewall ...

Treat it as a parts car unless you can see it yourself and poke and prod it.

That car has been in that guys ebay store / list for well over a year now. One of these days I am going to take a drive and see just how bad the rust is. I have asked for pictures, but he never sent any. YMMV (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
