Testing waters to evaluate if I sell as is before I continue with more serious mods like cutting fenders and adding roll cage.
I got this 914 back in 2018 from a gentleman in Palmdale, CA. It ran and drove but all the typical rust issues were there, hell hole, floor pan and rear trunk area all had holes. It also had the original 2.0l but someone converted to single weber carb. Work that has been done to it as follows:
Some pics of the vehicle throughout its life with me, you can see additional pictures and videos of it running on my instagram Page @914.patina The day I got it: Before stripdown with existing Dan Gurney wheels & street tires. Stripped interior and custom dash. New Front suspension before installing. New Fuel Tank with stripped down Frunk. As it currently sits: Car runs and drives so anyone can feel free to come get it and drive it home if they're close by, or it will drive itself into the tow truck. Asking $10k to get back what I've put into it, I understand it's still a big project for anyone, so if I can't get something close to that I might just keep it and continue with the project. Located in Riverside, California. |

My guess is that at that price point you will probably continue with the project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

It looks rough but it runs and drives. |

It looks rough but it runs and drives. I am not interested in it, I bought this '74 1.8 a year ago for less than $7000. Just judging by the pics, all the missing parts, the rust and bodywork in bad shape I think $3000 would be a fair price, just my 2 cents. GLWTS! |

Understood, that's a fair point, I might just keep it. |

After giving it good thought and a reality check. Dropping the price to $8k.
For anyone interested in building a rally 914, this is more than halfway there. |

What is the paint code on this car? It seems like it had been painted different colors by previous owners, but as you can see in some pictures where the forest green is flaking off, there seems to be some light brown or dark yellow color. According to historical data, since it was built in 74, the closest color i can match is summer yellow. If someone has a better idea of the color please correct me if im wrong. |

A 12/74 car is a 1975 model year as confirmed by the posted VIN.
Looks like original Copper paint (a 1975-only color) at the inside of the door. |

There should be a Karmann plate on the drivers-side front door jamb. It may have been painted over. It looks like this pic and is about 2'x2.5". The top number is the chassis# (different from the VIN) and bottom number is the original paint code...what is that code? L99K?

Sadly, it has been painted over. you can sort of see through the paint but I can only identify a "__9k" for the paint code section. |

If someone knows otherwise, please chime in |

You might try rubbing a the bottom of the badge with some denatured alcohol, lacquer thinner, etc. to uncover the number enough to read it.
Copper Metallic is a cool color... and rates 4 out of 5 paint cans on Rennbow for rarity! https://www.rennbow.org/porsche-colors/CopperMetallic |

Sold!
Posted it in Race-Dezert and FB Off-road classifieds, got much more attention there! The buyer is interested in continuing the project and running the Mexican NORRA 1000 in it. I'm glad someone will continue with the original vision I had for it. Thanks so much to this forum for all the help, I'm sure I'll come back some time in the future once the family doesn't require my attention 90% of the time. |
