Hello everyone,

My credentials are a slew of early 911s and 912s. Now I'm ready to enjoy the 914 knowing that it's in many ways a superior car. I would like the 6 so I can keep up with my 911 brethren, and because I would like to know that a future restoration would not neccessarily put me upside-down financially. Plus I think they're cool and I want one (nuff said?).

As an educated newbie here I'd like to ask your help in locating me a nice, driver quality 914-6. Although I like them, I am not interested right now in a conversion, only a correct car. I will not be entering any car shows so concours quality cars need not apply. What I am looking for is a nice, clean, maintained car that is a turn key driver.

If you have (or know of) such a car please contact me.

Much obliged, and thanks to all for such a great resource!

or PM me.

They are still available, good luck on your search. Have your checked the classified section here?

You're off to a very good start.

Mike -

I just came across this one here in OC Cal last night after posting you in your WTB -

(no affilliation myself - but Jim Hoyland on here knows the shop's owners I think, if you want to PM him.)

IMHO it should go back to the OE Adriatic Blue (eventually) - esp. for a -6 since the value is so much better/higher in original color (perhaps a negotiating tool here?), but then I'm really a Blue 914 type of guy!

Wooo-hoooo! post #1 !!!!
... well you're "official" now! Giggles-n-grins!

Cheers!

Mike, You should look at Elliot Cannon's Zonker. It has a Sheridan narrow kit and a stockish 3.2 and a roll bar but is very well sorted... and gorgeous...

RUN from this one! Looks like a problem in the Long!

mike. good luck with the search.

Welcome and good luck with the search. I remember the 88 from the Bird. you helped me deciced to go with the earlier dash in my backdate. (W21055 on Pelican)

the 914-6 conversions aren't all bad. If you get one that is "correct" it will likely be smaller displacement than your 911 friends have.

You might be able to keep up with your 911 buddies in this one. Send me an email address if your interested and I'll send pics and info.
Cheers, Elliot

There are many things that make this a much-than-less 40K six! May be a turnkey car, but not for long (no pun intended).

Agree there is something going on there and I hope it is not rust. I would love to see that car go back to Adriatic Blue - terrific color.

All that being said, this is, in my humble opinion a $25K car unless that door gap is just (hopefully) a bad adjustment. If there is truly no rust I would possibly stretch to $30K if there is history/documentation for the work done and parts used, what with the matching numbers and all...
