I haven't been hanging out on 914world much these past few years. You guys were always such a great resource and so friendly when I was more active. I met some really generous and *good* people. Life has changed a lot since I saw this car of mine for sale in a field south of Livingston MT back in 2005. I've got a lot of heart invested in this car and it will be bitter/sweet when it leaves. Time to let it go. Thanks for the kind wishes, all.

One more pic of the instrumentation I've added: Cylinder Head Temperature, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature and Fuel Level. Lights for Low Oil Pressure, Low Voltage, Low Fuel and Brake Fail. All gauges are fully functional.

Yes, the car is located in Montana. Raby 2270 has about 9000 miles on it. Runs as strong as ever with no oil consumption. It does leak engine oil, about a quarter-sized puddle over 3-4 days, but that's not uncommon with these engines.

I live just on the other side of the mountain in the first pic, so have a rough idea where this is. I would be happy to take a look if anyone wants a second set of eyes.

Hi all - I've decided to take the car off the market for the time being. Need to do some soul searching on why I'm selling it, possibly correct some things with the car. Thanks to all for your compliments, encouragement and feedback.

How do I remove or otherwise de-activate this ad?
sholman5
Thank you for searching your soul. If you don't need to sell it then don't. You would most definitely regret it later on. Beautiful car and an even nicer price, you would be giving it away.

Hi all. The car is back on the market. Nothing much has changed except that I am now more motivated than ever... make me an offer!
dr914@autoatlanta.com
very tastefully done and well worth the asking price (of course you know me, fuel injection all of the way!) but the Raby engine needs the carburetors
ValcoOscar
Tom-

I wish you the best...Raby Motor by itself is worth what you are asking.

If I didn't have 3 1/2 914's in my garage I'd be all over this.

BTW...If you have a potential buyer out here in so cal who is considering your car feel free to have them TEST DRIVE my 914 with same Raby motor. That should sell your car.

Wish you well.....

Oscar
