Matt I just found your listing. You know this is probably an Creamsicle right? Its within the 914 LE VIN and all it takes is a call to 1800PORSCHE x5 to verify, unless you already have a COA.

The plot thickens!

That would be interesting..... Take some paint off the bumper in an inconspicuous place?

Bill is right. Case in point. I just sold this engine for $20K. Buyer will spend another $15 - 20K at our shop having it rebuilt. It is the correct year and model (69S) for the buyers car but not number matching to the coa.

Your correct. It is an LE.

Front bumper has a small chip in the corner with orange paint under it.





Matt

Yea but mine is missing the MFI and the MFI shroud though...which is like $6k +/- of value.

Cool...another found. Can you send me the chassis number from the drivers door jamb front plate for the 914 LE Registry?

Thanks and GLWTS.

339537

I do have an mfi pump for a '70S engine if your buyer decides they need one.

I think you mean 0839537?

Oops. your correct.

839537

$23,650 and 12 hours to go....

Do we place bets now on how long the 2.2S engine will stay in Matt's car...?

If that happens what are the odds that the car gets restored to it's creamsicle glory?

It's a double win for the buyer. Someone gets an S engine (judging by the price it may be someone with the car it came from) and they are left with a pretty solid creamsicle roller. Looks like the original BIN of $20k was too low. Bet the early bidders are kicking themselves now!

I doubt it. Not much left of the creamsicle now.

Yea, my thoughts exactly. Still bittersweet for me, but my hope is the car gets a new lease on life in some fashion.

It has Creamsicle DNA...nothing can ever change that. Someone could at least bring back the color scheme, and leave the mods intact and call it a "Screamsicle".

Nice.

Lol lol lol

Matt,
I sent you a message.
Bill.

Sold, pending payment.

This was a fun one to watch. Congrats on the sale!

Congrats on the sale!

Thanks all. The new owner is a 914world member, so maybe he will surface back here as the new owner.


Matt

That's cool that it will stay in the '914world' family!

Congratulations Matt !

Looks like everybody made out just fine!

So what's next Matt?

Good question. I had planned to get into a a Subaru conversion...we will see how that pans out.

I am also looking at other options, but I really like the 914 community.


Matt

This car may be available again...as winning bidder may be backing out.

FML

thats not cool Matt.
I'm sure someone will grab it quick though.
seemed like your car generated a lot of interest!
good luck

I am still a buyer at $16k.
I think you will have no trouble locating a second. If you make your way down to my bid on Ebay (it is higher than $16k) I would feel quite lucky!

If I didn't have a pristine /6 in my garage, I'd be there with my checkbook. You have a rare combination of bad ass motor and rare LE - a true Screamsicle.

put it back on EBay with a 24K BIN.

Ahh the joys of eBay...sorry the bidder is possibly backing out.

SOLD! Deposit received.

Double post

Hi all,
I just wanted to revive this thread to give an update on this car. I ended up buying the car after the original winner of the auction backed out. The car is already on a transport and on its way to Florida.
I have some plans for the car that include bringing back the Creamsicle colors, cleaning up the interior and oil tank in the trunk, and maybe change the engine. I have a 3.0L motor that could go in, but I like the idea of the 2.2S motor that it is in it now.
I like the name "Screamsicle" that Jeff Bowlsby came up with. Or maybe Screamster.
I'll post some photos as I add some personal touches and make it more to my taste. This car is not being parted out. At the very most it will get a 3.0L.
Thanks to Matt for being helpful and accommodating with the shipping schedule for the car. Stay tuned...
Bill.

Nice purchase!

Excited to see what you do with the car Bill.

Since you intend to track it, I say swap out the trunk lids for Fiberglass, bring back her creamsicle look, sell off the 2.2s to fund all your project!

Matt

Sounds like it went to a great home!

Congrats...now what Matt?

congrats! I like your plans for the car.. that S motor could pay a few bills... should you think of selling and the 3.0 wouldn't disappoint any throttle junkie - good luck- looking forward to updates -

Im on the hunt. Most likely another watercooled venture....

I think of getting back to my hotrod roots, but I think I would miss the 914 community to be honest.
