I'm listing my 72 914 V8. I bought this car from a forum member here a couple years ago. It has an all aluminum Buick 215 V8 paired with a fresh rebuilt Dr. Evil side shift trans. The trans has been built to run with a V8. First gear is locked out and it has custom ratios. 70 MPH runs 2800 RPM. The car is complete, running and can be driven home.

When I purchased the car the trans and shift kit came with but were not installed. Since, I removed the engine and trans. I had new rings and seals/gaskets installed. ($800) When we removed the trans we discovered the 8" clutch was shot. I called Kennedy Engineering and we decided to order a brand new 9" flywheel, clutch assembly and throw-out bearing. ($750) This new set up is rated for 450 HP! Then we installed the Rennshift and JWest shift kit. ($1000)

Since re=installing everything I've put on a couple hundred miles but with the long winters here haven't had a chance to do anymore. My original plan when purchasing the car was to replace the front fenders with 916 style fenders as I prefer that look. I have all the pieces to convert the front end but it has not been done. These are high quality fiberglass pieces from QRS. At this point these will be included in the sale but can be removed and the price adjusted accordingly if a buyer does not want them.

Here is a list of modifications done to the car. These were not done by me but by prior owner.

Since I hadn't finished this project there are some things still needed. The headlight motors on not working. Headlights work but motors dont. Have to be raised manually. Passenger side tail light not lighting. In the interior the console by the shifter needs finished so you don't see the shift tower. Needs carpet. Targa seals are in poor condition. Tires, while they look brand new are old and should be replaced. The paint is in OK condition but could be better and please remember it is a 42 year old car and as such is not perfect. Asking $9,000 O.B.O.

And a few more pics....





















Sorry about all the pics. Not sure if you can post too many per forum etiquette. Feel free to ask questions. The car runs strong and is fun to drive. Thanks for looking!

That's a lot of car for the money! GLWS

Wanted to add that this car is located in northern Minnesota.

I agree!!! Looks under-priced to me. Someone will be getting a smokin' deal here!

Bumping this up. Price drop to $8500. Open to offers!

My 993 arrives this Friday and I'm tight on garage space.

Hey folks, I listed the car on Ebay. It's going to sell to the highest bid.

Thought I'd update this thread in case anyone had been considering it. 6 days left on the auction.

Thanks!!

You mentioned some rust....where is rust?

Dang this car is tempting!! If it was closer I'd most likely be throwing my wallet at you.

There are small areas of rust at the base of the doors as seen in this pic and also on the passenger side jack point (just ahead of wheel well) you can see where it was lifted and cracked the metal/ body coating and has begun to rust some. It's actually very small area but it's there.

Please post pictures of:

"also on the passenger side jack point (just ahead of wheel well)"

It would be great to have pictures from behind and below the original battery tray area and the 'longs' on both sides.

Drivers side:












Passenger side (Hell Hole)

Thanks. Your last picture shows rust just forward of the passenger side engine mount at the end of the "long" which would be the bottom side of said "hellhole". This is one of the most 'infamous' 914 spots where rust leads to structural sagging. Please post more photos of that area.

I work out of town during the week and that's all the pics I took when I had the car on the lift. Sorry. I was thinking that when I took all the pics it might be overkill vs not enough. lol

I did get a video link of the car start up and idle though.
