Well, I was interested in looking at this car, but the seller won't respond.

It's just a few miles from my house, so I'd at least like to take a look at it.

Something seems fishy to me....

Same here. I searched the VIN and the seller is listed here. Another buyer on Facebook looked at it and said the flares are glass and its a bad respray over the Original silver. and the guy selling it is selling it for someone else.

Always makes me worry.

I have PMed, emailed and no response.

If you are close and know where the car lives, go knock on the door -please. This seems to be a terrific deal from the description and the pictures presented thus far. I hope one of our members lands that car.

VIN is in database here under member tpines. Anyone know how to get hold of him?

he probably does not want you to put mustang mirrors on it.

I tried contacting as well, twice, no response... real fishy...

EDIT: I just saw on BaT comments that someone posted a link to an excellence ad, car priced at $56K.

CL ad has now been deleted.

I was able to get the phone number for the broker for this car. I just left him a voice mail. Since the ad's down, maybe it sold.

Headed down to take a look at the car now. Will report back later this evening.

OK, back!

I have an offer in on the car. Need your opinions quick, stat, pronto!

Took the car for a good drive.

Engine fired right up, sounded very good.

Shifting was about as sloppy as one can imagine. If I hadn't driven 914s before, this car would have been nearly undriveable.

More rust than I had hoped for. There was no way to take the rockers off, so any purchase would be contingent on a more thorough inspection. I felt up under them... seemed greasy, but not rusty.

The car will need some significant restoration. Paint code is 80 (Ivory) and I have a personal "no black car" policy, so at least going back to stock color will be good for me.

Certificate of Authenticity has been ordered. Believed to be a numbers matching car.

OK, give me a few minutes to download pix from my camera and post them, then let the armchair quarterbacking begin!

Did you note the "low compression" in the BAT write up?
