1973 Porsche 914 2.0 Appearance Group 4X,xxx Actual Miles
I bought "Betsy" from Hot_Shoe914 a few months ago with the Idea of Keeping her, but I learned quickly that the Old Adage that once you Six, you can't go back , is right for Me! This was a Wonderful Car when, that I really haven't driven much (probably a couple Hundred Miles - Non Ethanol Fuel) since the Ramble. Here is Hot_Shoes Ad and a Link to when he found;

The car was needing Paint and a look at a dimplde PS Inner Fender when I got her. It is about to come out of Paint (Original Color, Alaska Blue Met), the previous Paint Job had failed to a Lacquer over a not cured Primer. The Inner Fender (outer was replaced) looks like a minor Fender Dust-up) The Dimples were from hand-hammered the Inner back into shape ( actually looked like a Hand-Hammered Cymbal - for you Drummers out there). The Car has No alignment problems - I had this car at Speed on I95 & it felt great. The area dimpled was worked a bit by my guys, but they were hampered a bit by the VIN Stamp up there ( I want that Visible) The car was stripped to the Trunks & Jams (Still Original), Body, Trunk Lids, Doors Blocked. She is due out of Paint any day. Should be Stunning!
Other things I Addressed since Buying are Installing a Triad getting rid of a Monza, purchased a $900 914 Rubber Kit (Every Body Seal) and Carpet Kit which will be arriving any day ( I think Mark left for a Vacation), Original Mirrors, a Custom Set of Carb Linkage (Rod-Ends), Carb Rain-Hats, A Complete F/I System for the Purist.
Weve seen so-so 914 2.0 hit my Pre-Auction Deal, Hot_shoe914 & I believed this was $20,000+ Car when Prepped up. I then saw that 37,000mile 73 1.7 Appearance Group car sell for $29,990 that had a Dent in it. This car belongs in a $25,000-$30,000 Category easily.
If someone here wants to Step-Up before I send her to eBay ( for a Higher Reserve), I will let her go for $18,990. The Amount of Re-assembly ( Seals, Trim) will depend on how soon you get here!
$18,990 - You Know how to get a hold of me!
