Reluctantly I am selling my 1973 914. This has been a project of mine for the last 5 years - now it is complete and I am selling. This has been restored from stem to stearn - with the engine rebuild completed last Summer. Too many upgrades to list. You will not find a more complete 914. The motor rebuild included boring out a 1.7 to 1911 with Webers and other upgrades - it screams. Price is $7,500.

Drop me an email at vesnyder@hotmail.com with any questions.

Here is a link to pics of the entire restoration:

Awesome job Vance~
She needed significant rust repair and you saved one-
when many would have looked for easier projects;
nicely done at that- too. Like the unique color choice too. Thanks! -Jzn
