As the title/description states I'm looking for (I know, who isn't!) as close to a perfect example of a '72 or '73 as I can "reasonably" get. I have an idea of what to expect to pay even though I'm new to this forum at least. Want it to be in unrestored condition and NOT a project. Planning on doing a very unique, as of yet undone (as far as I know) conversion. Please feel free to post here or pm me if you have any leads. Glad to pay a finders fee if it's one I'm not aware of and I purchase. Thanks!

You want a perfect original example only to turn it into a conversion?

The white car on EBay right now, with reference to it here just yesterday, looks sweet. I would check that car out.

Actually he is looking for a 73 or 74 as I'll build the car. A rare color would be nice. A 1.7 or 1.8 will be fine as the engine will end up on a engine stand to be kept with the car. We might look at a GTized car but the flairs must be metal, perfect and I will bring Jon the metal surgeon. He is we'll known on the early 911S registry. The car would need extensive pictures of the bare car if metal or paint work was ever done.

What is the expected purchase price for a pristine, preferably unmolested original condition 73' 914? North of $20k?

That's a good question. We'll see. We are looking for the nicest low mileage 73-74 car we can find.

It's neither perfect, pristine, nor unmolested, and it's black, but you could take the money saved and make it perfect. Just saying. Not mine, absolutely no affiliation...

Thanks for the info.

Are you planning on stripping the car down to bare chassis?

I have a 1974 2.0L. Car was pretty much original save for Momo steering wheel. I've been taking the car apart in my garage for the build-off challenge, but the project has stalled somewhat.

this looks like it would fit the "pristine" bill.

87m491,

Thanks for the info I'll contact Michael Wilhoit about this car. He must've just got it because I was just on his site last week. You should check out the house he has for sale called the African Queen, absolutely stunning. This guy gets amazing cars and does things first class all the way. Super nice guy too. Thanks!!

He is pretty good guy. I bought a really cool custom motorcycle from him. He deals a lot in 928's. He is a bit on the expensive side of things but he has nice stuff.

I just talked to Michael. We'll look into this car.

As the car has AC it will not meet the unmollested aspect of your search. There will be a big hole in the front trunk floor, the pass side engine shelve will have a section cut out of it and there will be a multitude of holes drilled to accommodate the AC lines. Not all AC installs were done to high standards. My car was an AC car. The front trunk cut looked like it had been done with an ax. Ask if the AC is functional.

Thanks for the info.
Chris

Another one?
