I have imgur albums prepared and can send hundreds of photos to review before you see it in person.
Please note: The paint is not great on this car. It has several touch up spots and dings. If you're looking for an excellent concours finished 914 to fulfill your dreams or relive old memories this isn't the car for you.
This IS a great step for someone looking to get into the aircooled Porsche world with hundreds of hours invested into the metal work already done.
Hi guys,
I've had this car for 4 years.
It was pulled from a line of cars awaiting the crusher and brought back on the road, right where it belongs.
(I left the orange mark on the windshield - signifying that this vehicle was deemed to be smushed)
I need to make some space on the property and have other projects that need my time more.
A ton of welding work and reinforcement has been done to this car. A TON.
This is a running driving 914.
Good:
-Fresh 1911cc
-$10K in recent receipts.
-Over $2500 of new metal welded in
-Brand new weber IDF 40's
-5 Lug swap
-14" fuchs (dated '69 and '70, iirc), new tires
-Tons of new stuff, calipers, lines.
-New floors, new hell hole, new rockers, new tail panel.
-Mad Dog Rocker stiffening kit welded on.
-Nice interior, fair seats, good dash,
-new carpet, new sound deadening.
-Lighting and fogs work.
-OMP wheel and vintage Personal shift knob.
-Stainless steel fuel lines done when floors were out.
-New sail vinyl.
-New headliner.
-Lots of new rubber from 914rubber.
-Gauge panel in place of radio. (volt, oil temp, oil pressure)
-Clean MD title in my name
-Early chrome bumpers in place
-Exhaust included is the quad outlet in the third photo.
-I have a ton of extra parts, door cards, armrests, lights, trim. etc. several bins worth.
Coco Mats are not included.
Not so good:
-Paint is not great - it's a 20 footer... Several similar shades of green. The OE paint is covered in many areas and needs resprayed. OR drive it as is.
-Needs body work
-General loose ends that I haven't looked into.
-I.E. horn doesn't work, wipers don't work, oil temp gauge stopped.
-No heat hooked up (DOES have good heater tubes installed, just needs a fan and plumbing)
-Transmission is an early tail shift and generally pretty vague.
-Trunk is white and wrapped Irish green.
-Would benefit from some new glass.
-Has a misfire sometimes when cruising, I will try and cure that this week
Will throw in a large plastic tub of extra parts (lights, arm rest, trims, back ups etc) Additionally I have the late Backpad. (currently just has GT style carpeted wall)
I also have the original 70/71 passenger seat and backpad if desired.
All in all this is a 50 year old car that was rusty and saved from the crusher. It just needs someone to focus on it and tie up the loose ends, make it into the car you want!
Motor was just tuned at Translog, its not a perfect car, but runs, drives, cruises on the highway just fine at 70mph. Would be great for someone wanting to get into the classic Aircooled Porsche world.
Car as is: $12,500 cash.
I'd be willing to work out a partial trade for a running 912 engine.
