I purchased her in Half Moon Bay as a parts car with damage. Since the completion of the repairs We drove her from MN to Moab last fall for the Red Rocks event. The spring we escaped MN in a snow storm and ended up in Palm Springs for the Route 66 event. The car is currently in Palm Springs tucked away in a garage for safe keeping. Sandy and I fly in the end of the month to pick up the car, drive to San Simeon for the WCR and then back to MN.

We were talking about all the cars we have the other day and the fact that we are kind of out of garage space. Sandy said to sell her 7 of 9 and put the money into one of our other cars. I said, Ya.. sure.. you betcha.. Rolling my eyes as I walked away.

Then I thought, Hey, If I price the car around what you could purchase a rust repaired car for I bet I would get some interest anyway. Then I thought let's see where this journey takes her.

So, some of you have seen the car. Some of you will see her at the WCR coming up. Your comments are welcome.

About the car. This is a rust free chassis. Seriously, Rust free. You will not find a cleaner chassis. Check the build thread for the jack points. Really! I took the time to strip the 2 bad repaints off the car and have the original color made in single stage urethane. The car retains the fuel injection and runs good.

What it needs: I have a set of tan seat that are nice that I will install before the sale. The black seats belong to another project. I purchased and scrounged 4 sets of tan seats to get a good original set.

As we were driving around Palm Springs the speedo quit. It's either a cable or the speedo head. I will replace both before the sale.

The ignition switch failed on the way to Palm Springs. I have one to install but with the car in PS and me in MN it's a little tough to do. So I will change it before the sale.

As you can see the car is nice but as with all old cars there are always a few bugs to work out. But hey if you know us we roll with it and fix it as we go.

The price is 17k. let's make a deal.

I attached a link to the build thread. So there is nothing hidden here. You can see it all.

Beautiful car, Rick!

Thanks,

I hate to even post it. I never sell anything. And actually you couldn't build this car for 27k. The first problem is finding a rust free chassis, Start there.

I'm already having sellers remorse just for listing it. Sure, there are several little project to improve the car. That's part of the fun of ownership.

NOOOOO!!! Don't sell it Rick! If you want, pay me a few bucks plus food along the way and one way airplane ticket and I will drive your car back to your place.

We were coming out for the WCR anyway for vacation. This just kind of came up in conversation the other day. My hope is no one will really pay any attention to this ad and not take it seriously. I really should just build another garage for the cars that are finished.

meh, just sell me the six and you would free up both time and garage space.

Rich

Ah ya.. no

slacker....sending slacker messages via scotty is a slacker move....

too lazy to call it like it is on your own.....

Rich

Here is the solution to your problem right here! No more welding!

I love this car, especially the black hood with the green. Wish I had the funds. Good luck with the sale!

Love the color. I want it bad.


Just need to sell my 6 conversion first.

This car is a steal for $17K. Not many around like this anymore...

Rob I agree. I have seen this car in Moab. Perfect example - plus a very cool original color.

If I had room I would buy it store it and sell it later. Prices on 914's are not going down. You can put your money in a mutual fund or in a classic car - both are investments and this would be a good one - probably less volatile than the market.

We know what a perfectionist Rick is - this car is solid.

Good luck Rick and Sandy.

What is the status of the Raspberry?

Thanks Mike, if Sandy's car sells I am going to build the Raspberry car for her. I would not sell 7 of 9 if I had another garage. I guess two garages and a tent building isn't enough.

Rick, do you have another front hood that's painted green? Just remembered you were planning to do that but not sure if you got around to it.

Never enough garage space.

I saw this today and thought of you:

Love the vehicle, PM sent

Sad day at our house. I'm really having a problem with this. I don't sell stuff. It's weird.

But a happy new owner. That's important too. Delivery in three weeks.

I'm more envious of your skills than the car. You can always build another.
The children grow up. You need to be ok with setting them free.

After meeting Rick in the parking garage of Mall of America for a quick inspection and test run, I can assure anyone that Area51Werks did a seriously magical job on this 914! Thanks Rick and your Team Area51Werks!!!

You truly got a great example of a 914. It will give you many many years of reliable service.

Congratulations!

Mike,

Rick is indeed a super easy and honest guy to be with, and patient while I rowed and shoveled my way to the next gear! Click to view attachment

Ya boys. And it sounds like there is a deal cooking for the original engine. We located it and it's currently out of the car. Ready for rebuild.
