Father's Signal Orange 914 2.0 with 88,000 original miles is now mine! A few details: No mechanical faults. Black interior, Non-appearance group but with center console and gauges, lowered with Koni shocks, "2 Litre" Fuchs wheels and new 195/65-15 Pirelli P6000 tires. Otherwise stock and very clean. No rust too! Porsche has been in dry storage in Palo Alto for 16 years. Last DMV registration was 1988 - so long ago that the VIN dropped off the DMV records! Now re-registered in my name. New home will be Sunnyvale. I'll post a few pics when the car is running again. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Man mine is ugly and rusty and I would not sell it for less than 3k. And after all me and that car has been through I would be sad seeing it go. But I know my car aint worth 3k so I dont have to worry about being sad seeing it go. But the smiley feeling I get behind the wheel is worth more than that 3k anyway. I was following a custom tircked out small Chevy on I-75 in Fla Saturday we were both doing 95mph for about 10min when my wizer wife suggested I slow it down some. When I did a min later we saw 3 troopers busy with tickets and the third was the Chevy. Got lucky there it was fun while it lasted I was smiling alot that day!

Well, thank you everyone for the nice welcome! My father is the second owner. I remember the day he brought it home. I can't believe it's been thirty years since then. First owner purchased the car from Carlsen and kept it for less than one year. The tires are brand new because the 914 was sitting on skinny little 155/80-15 Michelin XZX's. Remember those? I should have some pics for everyone in the next day or two.
Thanks! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) |
