Interested in a 914 daily driver or better in Palma Green. 2L or 1.8L, prefer black interior. My 914 and first Porsche was 4752907106 purchased new 10/75. I don't think it still exists and therefore I'm looking for any nice one. I'd also consider a '76 in Viper Green as a good second choice

We like the plaid interior as well.

Nice, just like the one in the'75 sales brochure. I like the plaid interiors and would definitely consider it.

Be prepared for a long wait. Palma and Viper are two of the rarest 914 colors. I think I have only seen one (1) viper for sale over the last 20 years, about 7-8 years ago and only a couple in Palma. There are many other great 914 colors, finding a car in excellent condition, much less in a specific color, is challenging enough these days

Great color. The 6 I used to have was about the same color, with light buckskin interior.

Best of luck in your search, it's could take a while

Agreed. We have a 75 1.8 in Palma that we bought out of Thousand Oaks, she is rust free but has not run in 20 years... we plan on putting a 6 in it, but if you are looking for a project...

We have a print of the Ad in our home ... it is a euro version, no side marker.

I have been watching for some time. I've seen several for sale over the last few years and have contacted two current owners. One since 2007 and the other for a couple of years. They just aren't ready to sell although one seems close. About two years ago I had a chance to buy one sold by Barbour that was very nice. About two months ago Beverly Hills Car Club had a decent daily driver which I inquired about but it sold within two days. They currently have one that needs restoring but I'm not looking to take on a project.

I'd be curious if it was a tan interior car. Sure looks like they just slapped an interior in. If you are considering it GET A GOOD INSPECTION from those guys.

I always wondered how close Palma Green was to my Metallic Green 6 that I sold a few years back. Still miss her.

I've decided to keep looking for Palma Green and not compromise on a Viper Green even though they are great looking too. PG just has more personal meaning.

Car looks great

Good for you @paule - patience pays off - stick with it and get what you want. It's out there. Putting the word out like this is smart - they're not going to come find YOU! Best of luck!

Thanks, I've been in contact on one since 2009 and another for about 5-6 years. Understandably, they're not ready to sell.

Love your determination! Our 75 Palma 2.0 is having its motor rebuilt and engine compartment re-sprayed to complete the restoration. The car looks as good underneath as it does from the top. The car is not restored to our Delphi’s level, but it is probably the nicest 75 Palma 2.0 — even has an NOS carpet from George.

We just bought a 69 911s motor and 70 911 2.0 motor to do a conversion (clone) on our 75 Palma 1.8 car, so we might want to sell the 2.0 in the future but it will cost north of $60k or trade for a splitty, which the 911s motor will go into smile.gif

Could it be Palma metallic?

Between the one Rich has and this Craig’s list car, if they don’t do the trick then you better increase budget.

Hang in there...I found my ravenna car this way and it took over a year. It will happen....
