Gentlemen - If I thought I had the time or money to continue working on this car I would keep it. But the last 2 years of IVF procedures have finally paid off and my wife and I are 15wks pregnant with IDENTICAL TWINS! So now it's time to sell some toys and payoff the voodoo doctors.

Anyway here's the scoop:
Bought it 4 years ago and I've invested roughly $4k into it with 90% of that work being completed by our very own celebrity mechanic Curt 'The CabinetMaker' Curtis! Details are below. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like a specific picture.

Additional parts/materials included but not installed:

-Rear Bearings (currently in the freezer)
-New TPS Board
-Upgraded speaker pods with 6" Infinity Kappa Speakers
-Kicker Hideway 8" Subwoofer
-Porsche Brake Reflector

Work in Progress Items:
This summer I had removed all the tar and sealant from the floorpans and discovered three minor holes where the pans connect below the door and rear firewall. I could go ahead and patch it, seal it soundproof etc and put the new carpet in but I've decided to let the next owner finish that out on their own. But's structurally safe and i'd drive it anywhere as-is.

Next on my list would've been to replace all the rubber seals surrounding windows, windshield and targa. It's fine as-is but I wouldn't drive it in the rain...which most of you don't anyway.

That's it in a nutshell. I feel like most of the hard work and "typical 914" repairs and upgrades have been done. All it needs now is a bit of rubber, some minor body work and paint to be a great car for years to come!!!

Thanks for looking!

Congrats, and welcome to the identical twin world! Ours are 7 years old already, time flies.

Looks like a great car, GLWTS!

Congrats on the twins . . . oh boy, hang on . .. our grandsons turned 16 this year, yes identical at least they look that way, but they're called mirror twins. Complete opposites. What a joy . . .

Congrats! I have identical twin girls (mirror image as well actually) that are turning 8 next week so I can understand the need to part with your 914.

I've been wanting to buy one for a long while now and this would be exactly what I would be looking for. But, I know I just cannot justify it...

I'm sure this won't last long at that price!

I was thinking of you when I read this ad earlier....this would be the perfect car for you to move from a dreamer to an owner.

Rebuilt engine..check!

Minimal Rust...check!

Desirable year...check!

Great color...check!

You only live once. Go for it!

a 1.7 little brother to my 2.0 (that started life the same color).

Are you guys trying to get me divorced?

EDIT: And congrats!
My wife's little brother and sister were twins.
That was in the day before ultrasound and the way they were stacked the DR only hear one heartbeat.
They were getting ready for one big baby and ended up with "surprise" twins.

Congratulations - I am a identical "mirror" twin too. Love my brother and we are very close. See each other couple times a week. He is a car freak too.

Congrats on the additions! That's fantastic news.

Car looks great and seems priced to move quickly. Some pictures of the usual places will help with the sale.

Best of luck!

Trust me, it's tempting! This time of year is so stressful though with Wife's Bday, kids' bday, Mother in law's 60th bday, Christmas, etc...

Hey guys I'm trying to figure out the best way to load all the pictures directly into the post but each one is 1MB-3MB and it looks like the "add attachment" option only lets me click on and load on pic at a time. We'd be her for days if i have to shrink 40 pics and load them each individually

I've added a "CLICK HER" to the links in the original post which takes you to all the pics. Maybe it wasn't as noticeable before.

EDIT: I just finished copying and pasting 40+ IMG URL's into my original post but when I clicked save-edit the site told me I exceeded the number of pictures i'm allowed for one post. Good grief. Sorry guys, you'll just have to use that finger to click on the links above.

iwanta.... this is the universe's way of telling you it's time to jump in. Just do it. You'll find a way to make it work, I promise. And, at this price, there's no chance you'll lose any money. Better and safer investment to put 5,500 into this than your 401k! And, you get the added benefit of enjoying your investment every day.

Yes..I agree and that's what I'm trying to tell him. I can't ever envision a time where a birthday causes "stress" and keeps me from buying a car.

Not having a birthday would be more stressful.

Please buy this before I do. I need another Porsche at home like I need another hole in my head

And...what's eve more tempting is the original color is L96M....Marathon Blue...my FAVORITE 914 color!

The "stress" associated with all of the birthdays AND Christmas is all of the money flowing out of my pockets leaving nothing for myself and my Porsche dream

Now stop with the peer pressure, LOL.

If I could convince my financial adviser of this...

As a veteran financial advisor, you have my blessing

Just how do I put it in my IRA?

Man I wish you were closer I'd take that off your hands . Anyone know a cheap way to get it from AR to GA ? I have no time for a road trip . Good luck with the sale .

Someone say twins?

Good luck on selling the car, hopefully once things settle down a bit with them you can get another one. I was 914less for 7 years and got this last year.

Don't be shy and ask for twins discount, I could have sworn we got a discount as some baby and kids places.

Bill I hear ya on the L96M. This pic right HERE is what convinced I would take it back to the original Marathon Blue Metallic if I ever made it into the paint booth.

Maybe someday I will be back in the seat of my own 914...heck I had a 2.0 in my early 20's which i regretted selling so maybe the third time will be a charm Oh and my wife says get those girls a basketball hoop because they look T-A-L-L!

If your financial advisor won't acknowledge a great value and asset...or the importance of a very inexpensive investment you can actually enjoy every day...you should find a new advisor. Especially if he/she is paid by commission. Serious conflict of interest .

For years, my wife had a hard time 'seeing' the investment aspect of the old Porsches I had stored away - until she saw what I was selling them for. They've done better than a lot of Wall Street investments

This looks like a very good financial investment, as well as a fun place to park your $.

Is this car still available?

Yes it's still available. Let me know if you have any questions.

The exchangers do look pretty good. So there is heat? This car would need to go to KC Missouri, is it up for that trip?

**SOLD, PENDING PAYMENT**

Robert "BuddyV" is second in line

Looks like someone got a heckuva deal!

Looks like a really GOOD BUY!

Just wondering if this sale has went thru?

Please advise.

Payment is still in-process and the buyer is aware I will cut him loose if 100% of funds are not cleared by this Thursday night. At that point I'll sell it to the next person in line and payment will be due in 24hrs. Nothing personal but I've simply run out of "nice guy" time to sell this car.

I highly recommend escrow.com. The buyer deposits the funds with them and it's released to the seller only after the car is picked up. There's no downside to a buyer to place the money in escrow. So...it's a great litmus test. If the buyer is unwilling or unable to fund an escrow account immediately after the deal is done, you've got a pretty good indication that the deal will be difficult to close.

So did the buyer come through? Just curious.

Sorry to get of the subject of this sale but since escrow.com was mentioned; how is title usually transferred.

Is it shipped signed with the car, mailed separately, or does the buyer take the title when he/she sees the car for a deposit?

Oh, is this car still for sale?

Full Payment is already in escrow. Buyer's car hauler service should be picking up the car this week.

Is this Amazing car still for sale so let me Know?

Post above says it was paid for and is being picked up this week, so I think the answer would be no.

Another car I will regret not buying when I had the chance, lol. I must love to regret, ha!

I have quit commenting....

She got loaded last night! Sad day. I went ahead and warned the new owner about you guys and this wonderful group of crazies! Go easy on him if he becomes a member :-) his name is Tom and he lives in New York.

Awe, nobody likes a quitter!
