Noticed this on Atlanta Craigslist. Did not see a forum for southeast CL ads so putting it here. Anyone know this car? Again not mine but not that far from me.

Full Version: 1974 914 2.0- Not mine
Holy Cow! 
Below is a quote from the listing:
"I bought this car from "Dr 914" at Auto Atlanta almost a year ago. I paid his asking price ($24,500) for the car which was a small fortune based on his established reputation with all things 914. A year later, I find that I am not driving the car due to the bitterness I feel about my buying experience. In short, I feel that the seller "puffed" the car to the point of shameless. I will list the Sellers original description of car and then add my thoughts at the end. I consider myself "experienced", but in this case, my education was expensive. I believe I paid thousands more than the car is really worth. I want to hit the reset button and enjoy cars again, but know that many parts are only sourced through Auto Atlanta and I refuse to give this man another nickel of my money."
...and the fan club grows. Wow!
I speak of my ex-wife better. ...well maybe not.
I wonder if she was from Atlanta.

Yes, I'm interested. Would you give it a really great glance for me, please. Let me know it that is possible. Thanks

I'm leaving around noon today. If you make contact with the seller and arrange the details I can take a look before I leave! Better to PM me.... I won't be on the forum until this evening.

Believe these words came from that seller (green conversion) not sure how it got posted in southeast but too close to be coincidence

I looked at the 914 in question. Did not get it up in the air nor did I crawl under it.
Owner has only driven the car 200 or 300 miles. He bought it for the engine for a sand rail (a very nice one...I saw it) but has decided to change direction.
Car has some race history at Road Atlanta. Has a roll cage, ventilated rotors, FIBERGLASS flares. etc. VERY strong engine. Seller thinks it is a stock 2.0; however, it felt stronger. Exhaust is very loud. Suspension is very stiff. Needs new bushings for shift linkage.
Trunks looks fair, hell hole decent, some rust in pans.
Here is a quick video and pictures:

Thank you for posting!
Hmm, Aircooled Classics is up here in Knoxville. Wonder if the guys there would have more details as far as engine, suspension, etc? 
They used to build and race 914s several years ago.
