Here's my 2 cents. This car is underpriced. Y'all seem to be wanting ta do. each other favors here all the time. This car obviously must have more than this price invested in it and it's not replicatable for this price. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but IMHO one shouldn't have to come down so far to sell such an excellent example of this awesome and unique classic car. If I had the money and the space I'd buy this car at this price immediately. I predict someone will be smart enough to jump in this in the next 12 hours.
Asking price should be IMO $22,000 or perhaps more.

Pretty sure I know the owner who is mostly on the Early911Sregistry goes by the same screen name. I never knew he had this car, it is local to me. Looks Nice!

Don't take this the wrong way, but your logic is crazy.
There is zero chance anybody here without inspecting that car for an hour or more could reach any conclusion on if it is under or overpriced. One picture and a parts list is usually half the story. It takes a personal inspection.
Now I'm not saying that it's not a great car or a great deal, It could very well be! I just don't understand your post.

I may have gone a bit far in my chosen expression of my impression. IOW, you're taking me too literally. If I were able to purchase this car now with zero financial stress while choosing to do so, naturally I would get a lot a photos, and by the way, I think it's a shame there is only one photo! (As your chief sponsor here, Seller, please, post more here for me and everyone to see!!) and I would get all the details, but at first glance, iirc, there is supposedly no rust. If this is true we have a great starting point, of course, adding to that: original, classic and beloved color, 76, the year when the fewest were produced, rebuilt and broken-in engine, long list of things that simply will NOT have to be done, and wallah!, I have a, IMO, valid basis for my opinion / impression / personal feeling about this offer apparently being a very solid investment. It won't be worth less than this in the future until / unless Neo Cons lead us to WWIII or martial law. Not sure if that is "crazy" or not, but it's my opinion / impression. Uh, iirc, it's also an original 2.0 appearance group set-up from the factory. Forgot to mention that. That could make this car, in this color, from '76, close to one of a kind (still alive), at least in this condition, which is apparently excellent.

I had trouble posting photos and only one ended up posted.
I have had a lot of interest.
I have sent 6 people over 20 photos.
This 914 is as honest and good as they get.
Hope it's not too under priced.
But I have gotten good deals on cars and guess someone else should get the same.
Thanks for positive comments.

That's a nice color combination. I can't tell from the picture but are there slight flares on the car?
No flares totally stock
