1969 PORSCHE 914-FLAT 8 - $90000 (CLACKAMAS)


1969 914-8 odometer: 54 manual transmission automatic transmission

PORSCHE 914 with rotisserie restoration, Porsche 901 flat 8 cylinder engine, only 2 built, TRIBUTE CAR.
69 914-6 from Germany, totally restored, PRISTINE CONDITION, with 901-8 cylinder engine and 6
speed paddle shift transaxle. SERIOUS ONLY PLEASE!

Paddle shift huh?

Pics.

Not a lot of 908 motors floating around out there, and they're probably worth significantly more than $90K apiece .........................

This one has the lower priced 901 motor.

I can only imagine a 908 motor is easily a large six-figure number.

Well, let's see, if I use Porsche Factory Pictures and tell somebody there is an 8 in there, some sucker might come along

It's craigslist. It must be real.

Not to mention being on the internet ................ Must be doubly real.

WTF is a "54 manual transmission automatic transmission"? Is it automatically manual or manually automatic?

It's a 914-6 with an 8 and a 6 speed paddle shift. So, it has 3 transmissions?

WTF is up lately with "Tribute" cars? Tribute aka wannabe aka POS???

That's odd. There were only two 8's produced and both had 5 speed manual transmission. So why would you mess with such a rare car. One wasn't street legal ( although I guess you could make it so ) and the other had a welded on tin top. It would be interesting to see if this is one of these but I doubt it.

Maybe it has the sportomatic gearbox from the 911? Looks like the ad says 54miles on the odo.

Definitely a tribute/fake. BUT it would be really cool to actually see some pics and a vin.

One word: SCAM.

Then again, if you like sending your hard earned money to Nigerian princes, then knock yourself out.

definitely not

both original 914-8 are owned by Porsche and frequently on display at the Museum

I got him down to $45,000. Just sent Western Union!

That could be a typo; they could be an olde truck driver. Semis used to have a 5 speed transmission and a 4 speed auxiliary transmission. Aka 5 and 4.

I'm waiting for reply, I used Brant's email.

Oregyn...

Is a French model selling it by chance? He's pretty smooth...

Way kewl! Are you going to put a Subie in it?

I live not too far away since I'm in Portland. My curiosity is burning so I want to go check it out and get some photos. And casually question the seller with subterfuge while letting it be known that I'm the kind of guy that likes to drop $90K on scams.

I'll report back.
