There was a black '72 or '73 with a 4cyl and fender flares on eBay last week. The pictures made it look nice but if I remember there was some rust problems. Did a club member buy this car? If so is it as nice as it looked ? I had an itchy bid finger for a brief moment.

Looked like a really nice car.

Kind of funny....the guy owned the car for 19 years and was not able to spell Porsche correctly in his ad

We almost bid last minute,but did not want to chance the rust issue.I tried to find out more,but no one knows!

very interested to know! Anyone??

I was given a second chance at $3500, but didn't get answers back from the seller to a couple of my questions. So I guess it is still for sale. I liked the steel flares, but was afraid of some of the rust issues that I wanted pictures of.

This feedback is interesting to me:

what i don't get ...

you fork out the money to put steel flares on your car and then you run rims with virtually no offset and no spacers either.

am i the only one who thinks that looks extremely stupid?

I too got a second chance offer today, emailed the seller and have not heard back yet either...I got beat by 50 bucks on that car but was having second thoughts since the cost to ship it out here would prolly have been bad.

You can get open transport to the west coast for $900.

This was the same reason we withheld our bid! they just did not want to give up any crucial details.

$4k for a flared painted 914, sheese, that is a good deal! Wonder if a club member got it?

There a few of us that live in MI, I'm sure one of us could have taken a look at it for someone.

This is beginning to sound like a scam...perhaps someone has siezed this guys login ID and password??? How or why would anybody send a "last chance offer" to all who bid with the same ending time at different purchase amounts?

You can be sure a Second Chance Offer is from your seller when you see it in My Messages. "

I didn't get my notice in "My Messages", it came directly to my email address...

I sense a scam.

I agree! because the guy who had high bid left Positive feedback!

10-4... I sent the winner a message telling him whats up and also tipped him to this site. Got no reply.

Freakin Scammers...how about making munny the legit way!

Hi Guys,

I was interested in this 914 w/flares. I tried to get the address to inspect in St. Clair MI. I did a search with available info and came up with a name. I did a map search & tried to find the 914 this week when in the St. Clair MI area while there on business. No luck.

Give me an address with name & I will follow-up. I can't believe this 914 was in our area without anyone knowing???

Actually I think the car is probably now with its new owner. It appears the high bidder of the car has it and has left Positive feedback for the transaction."End of story.""And thats the way it was".. "Move along,nothing to see here" "Thats amore" Good day!
