I seriously love this thing.

I really like this car too. The bumpers would be up for sale and I would swap in some nice chrome bumpers. That is a nicely done car though. GLWTS.

Front would not be an easy swap, looks like he has a front cooler mounted outside based on the braided lines I see...

I BELIEVE that a GT style front bumper will do just fine. I understand that this bumper is just bolt on, nothing behind it was changed from stock. I actually plan to run down there either the end of this week or early next to see and drive it, so I'll report back what I find. If anyone that's serious has any questions, please either post here or PM me.

OK, I finally got a chance to see the car in person today. It is VERY nice. Needs a good detailing since its been sitting at a mechanic shop for the past 9 months or so and it's dusty and a dirty.

I did get to drive it, and honestly, the engine runs MUCH better than my personal 3.2 engine - much better power/torque and quicker acceleration. I've always thought there's something wrong with mine, and I think this confirms it...I REALLY like this engine and the power it has. Smooth, the exhaust sounds great, started right up, settled into idle, and no problems....like a proper 3.2 should.

Transmission shifts smooth and easy - about as good as you can get for a 914.

Steering is tight and precises, brakes work great. Everything seemed to work just fine. No rust that I could find. Paint is in excellent condition, as is the interior.

There are a couple things I noted that could use some attention (I'm pretty sure the owner may not even know about or ever thought about)

- Since there is a PORSCHE reflector between the tail lights, the rear trunk is activated by an electric solenoid. It doesn't seem to be working (there's an emergency pull cable under the rear trunk so I could open it).
- The rear trunk carpet has a couple areas that the carpet is missing/torn. (see picture, upper right/left by the shock towers)
- The front trunk pull handle needs adjusting. It works fine, just needs to be adjusted a bit because it sits out too far.
- There is no spare (not surprising) so the spare tire "cover" panel has nothing to sit on and is sagging into the front trunk area. Personally, I prefer to not have the spare and have the extra depth for front luggage or stuff capacity.
- NEEDS a good detailing/cleaning inside and out.

I'm sure the owner would get these items addressed as part of the negotiating the price. I'm sending him a list of the things I found so he knows.

Overall, it is a VERY nice car that runs and looks awesome. I only took a couple pictures because there was not much to take that was not already shown. Besides...being dirty the pictures don't come out nice.

Any pics of the front trunk opened? Oil cooler setup etc. Thanks.
naro914
I forgot to update this: the owner agreed to fix all the little things I listed back when I told him, so they should be done. Lots of interest lately....summer time I guess??

would he take my 24v E30 plus a good amount of cash?!? Im totally serious even though I highly doubt he would do it
Mike550
Is this car still available?
naro914
Mike, Yes it is. I'm sorry, I know you sent me a PM last week but I got so busy with a bunch of things at work and getting ready for the Chumpcar race we (kinda) ran this past weekend. Plus, there is another guy that showed serious interest but I haven't heard from him yet this week. I'll try to give you a call later today.

>> The front bumper was built back in the 90s by a local Porsche repair shop (Vegas) specifically for the Silver State Classic run. Original can be seen in European car along with Elvira, as they were built at the same time. Used a 944 nose as a base and was modified to fit the 914. The mold was damaged and destroyed a long time ago after only a handful were pulled. If you really want one copy this one or make your own.
Uses the Chevy truck lights instead of the expensive 944 lights.

For those curious, sale was completed and the car is coming to Colorado.

Definitely a nice car. Congratulations to the new owner, Coloradocurt? Not sure if you bought it or just posted about it.
Chris H.
Nice car. You could make a mold of that rear bumper and make a few bucks back! Maybe the front one too. Is the front a customized 944-type or something else?
naro914
Yes, car is SOLD. Sorry - I was away for the past couple weeks and hadn't gotten confirmation that the transaction was finalized.
Congrats Curt - I really think you will enjoy it!!
