Restoration was completed in 2001.
Car has been driven approximately 6,500 miles over past 10 years since restoration. Paint still very nice but there are a few minor scratches. Odometer showed 69,014 miles when I purchased the car but it was not working. Odometer was repaired and now shows approximately 75,600 miles but actual mileage is not correct because I do not know how many miles the car was driven with broken odometer prior to my purchase. Speedometer registers approx 10 mph fast due to lower profile tires currently installed on car.
Needs: Rear Targa top seal is worn. Small split in back pad near seat belts on both sides (see photos). One small dent in quarter panel above left tail light (see photo), good candidate for paint-less dent removal.
Valve adjustment, tune up, oil & filter change, new battery in Feb 2011. Car had been sitting in garage previous 2 years. Started up and driven 250 miles 2/20/11. Runs excellent. 30 MPG. I have enjoyed this 914 for years and have owned Porsches since 1980. Work now requires more travel and interests have changed. Time to find it a good home.
