PO bought the car in So Cal in 2006 and sold to me in 2015
2015 on here in Pleasanton, CA.
Rear end had been very lightly tapped and repaired correctly.
Additional repair to front pass fender during flare installation.
Chassis inspected and found little rust beyond the hell hole and battery tray support which were professionally treated with POR-15 and a new battery tray installed.
Metal work completed by an independent metal work guy in So Cal (Milt / Zeke). Have pictures.
I reassembled the interior and got the motor started. I took the car to Don Wise at Don's Autowerks in Campbell to go through a full inspection bumper to bumper. Many issues were resolved. Drove and camped at Rennsport Reunion. Been driven around Pleasanton ever since.

That's a really great looking, seeming well sorted car. GLWS.
Good seller too.
Great looking and VERY clean! We are building a conversion and buying and rebuilding the motor is ~25K... this is a great price!
Trade for a 2001 996TT ?

Very interested in this. PM sent. Would love to take a look this weekend if possible.
Nice!! And reasonably priced. GLWS! If you don’t find a good buyer quickly, I bet it would do very well on BaT.
Good luck Rob!
As stated - highly reputable member here.
Rob, that's gotta be hard to let go of.
Great value here for sure.
Whomever gets this car is one very fortunate individual.

I remember when you got it. Gorgeous car, somebody is getting a Jewel
Beautiful car. I saw this car at Rennfest and convinced me to paint my car Alaska Blue Metallic.

I have seen Rob's 914 in person. It is a nice car and I believe at his asking price he is leaving money on the table. So if this is what you are looking for, you better snap this up before it vanishes and you end up regretting it for decades. Just sayin. OH, and Rob is just a great guy and honest about all aspects of the car. I wish him GLWTS.
I'll be up in Monterey end of the month. Hoping to see it if it lasts that long.
It would be great to have a driver while I continue on my other projects.

If I wasn't paying to have a new shop built that would be at my house.
SOLD - pending payment.
Thanks for all the interest!

Alaska Blue Metallic is a beautiful color on a 914, don't see it very often in person or otherwise, but I always say the same thing when I so see one. Congrats on the sale.
SOLD - Congrats to the Buyer.
