How could that car have possibly been voted the worst at the ramble ? Donald said it was the nicest 914 he has ever owned

Are the 2.0 Fuchs original or repops? If they are real, PM me if you want to sell them. I've got a customer looking for a set.
Real, Not For Sale

Damn it
Now your just pissing me off T.C I have yet to find my real 914-6 
If you decided to sell the Badge off the car formerly known as 'Betsy' I would be interested??
No I'm keeping the PCA Badge - been a Member for 25 Years. Hate it sometimes, but I've been around too long to quit
Nice score T.C.. Looking forward to seeing it progress.
I thought T.C. meant Teener Collector.

Bueller.... Bueller (914-6 info?)
Still working on that!
Went to the Paint Shop today. The Body Work is Done, except I forgot to tell him to Weld Up the 4 Four Holes for the Rear Lense. It will be sprayed this week! 
Looks like when the PS Front Fender was replaced they put on a 75-76 Fender

That's correct. That piece is spot welded on and easily removed.

I knew it wasn't correct for a 73 and I told my Guy to remove it.
Just a Heads Up - After I get this one Back, I'm going to Test the Waters to see if someone wants to pick her up. After seeing the 73 1.7 Appearance Group Car go for $29,990 on FleaBay, I know this is a better car.
The Old Adage that once you go to a Six, you can't go back to a Four is True for me. I didn't think it would apply as this is such a Nice car, but!
I gave some thought about putting my spare 2.5 Twin-Plug in her, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with her except the Paint which I'm fixing. Plus I don't want to be That Person that Fuch'd up a Low Mileage 73 2.0 Appearance Group Car. It's Carb'd, but I'm getting a FI System from Garold.
I'm called a Flipper by Some, but it was not my intention with this one ( I'm Really Camp 914 Craig & JRust mysterious Triplet- We don't flip, we save & resurrect). I LOVE the Color, she runs Great, has all the Good Shit, etc.

LOL! I think to be a flipper you have to actually make money doing it
. That sure as hell doesn't apply to me 
What can I say I'm a sucker for 914's. I think I have managed to make a buck every once in a while. Never makes it anywhere but another 914 though. It's a vicious cycle 
Once you buy it, it's yours to keep or sell as you wish. Donald certainly gave everyone a chance to buy it if they wished.
Unless you remove every picture you posted to the thread and claim it has origional paint....

It's a vicious cycle So True, It's like a 401K that gets rolled over - in this case, rolled into another Teener. At one point we will have owned all of them at least once!

Yer not getting' my car, TC.
I Hate Painters!
WTF, I've know this guy for years (He was the Painter at the Porsche Dealership I worked at) and he did a Great job on my Spyder.
He took this job 3 Months ago and saw that it was just a Paint Strip, Take care of little Dings & Paint. He told me 7 Weeks Max, that way when he finished early, we would both be happy. He was well on his way (look at the earlier pictures) to having it down at 4-5 Weeks. Then some personal shit in his life (isn't always?), then he decided to Hook Up with some Wanna-be Reality TV "Monster Garage" Clone so he is working there 6 Days a week. In the meantime my car sits. He told me today, he will have it done in 3 weeks

The Weather has been so bad the last couple of days, that I didn't hitch up the Trailer and instead called AAA. Of Course it finally stopped raining!

It is so nice that I might have to re-think my options
I was going to sell it, so I could still do that.
I could just keep it as a low mile Original Style Appearance Group
I could put that 2.5 Twin-Plug in it

The new paint looks great, TC! That car is very nice, whether you keep it or sell it...
Nice!
Looks Damn good TC...Sorry I couldnt call you back th is evening. I will catch up with ya tomorrow.
Damn, Betsy sure looks purty! 
TC that 914 looks terrific. If that clean little baby were mine, it would remain the stock 2.0. But I don't have a spare 6 lying around either.....
Dang that paint looks nice! Almost like that 1980's 911 color. I say keep it a 2.0 and sell it for $30's in a couple years but it's yours. Not gonna whine if you convert it since it was for sale for like a year when you bought it. Bet it sounds good with that triad on there.
6 it.
If it still has the original engine, I believe you should put the fuel injection back on it, get it back as close as possible to factory original condition and sell it for no less than $25K.
I gonna start at the back putting her back together (& it will help me with the wiring on the Spyder!), so I pulled her out in the Driveway. I had to do a little work on the F-150 (as I'm selling it) and I didn't even finish that so back in the Garage went the 914. It gave me the opportunity to grab most of the Parts out of my Storage
Looks nice T.C. Not sure it was worth the wait, but the guy did do a good job. Glad to see he color sanded and buffed it too.
Let me know when you're ready to do the valves and carbs. I'm a little busy with my car at the moment but I should be able to swing by for a bit.
What's the asking price on the truck?
