914 20,000 dollars on Ebay, Is this worth it Options

[914newguy]

Was looking at 914's on Ebay came across this nice one. I spoke with dealer who said iis going for 20k just wondering if some of you with more knowleadge know if this is a fair price for this car...thanks...This is a 1974 Porsche 914 2.0L with 136,324 miles on the odometer but only 15,000 since completion of an extensive and fully documented, three year restoration. The car is painted Porsche Lapis Blue Metallic with a black vinyl interior and is in perfect condition.

This is one heck of a car that has been completely refurbished, significantly upgraded and meticulously maintained across the board; the photographs tell the story. Look at the extent of the work done and the care that was taken when re-assembling this beautiful 914; nothing was overlooked or left to chance.


Invoices for all work described (and much more) are available. This vintage Porsche has undergone a multi-year restoration. The car was completely disassembled and placed on a rotisserie. The body was striped to bare metal via media blasting with baking soda. The bare shell and all components were then sprayed with a zinc enriched etching primer. All metal work was old school metal shaping - there is no bondo or filler in this body. Finish paint is a modern Porsche Lapis Blue Metallic, three color coats and three clear coats, wet sanded and buffed out. All rubber bits, grommets, seals, etc. are NOS OEM ; exterior passenger side mirror added; fog lights upgraded to Pilot driving lights which are switched independently from headlights; new front and rear bumper pads. All suspension parts were also completely disassembled, sand blasted and then powder coated. All new suspension components - front and rear OEM Porsche anti-sway bars, Koni adjustable sport shocks, Eibach 100 lb. springs, turbo tie rods, Elephant Racing Control Arm Mounts, Elephant Racing Poly Bronze Bearings; all new OEM rubber seals, gaskets and grommets; all brake calipers rebuilt; 911 19mm master brake cylinder; pedal box rebuilt by Eric Shea; all wiring harnesses rebuilt and repaired by Jeff Bowlsby of San Jose, CA; new dash pad (OEM) and new German carpet set from Autos International; engine completely rebuilt and upgraded - block was hot tanked and all new galley plugs installed, crank was ground and brushed; rods rebuilt, new 96mm high compression pistons and cylinders, Jake Raby cam; heads received Super Stock service from Al Hoffman in Atlanta, GA (new guides, seats, valves, HD springs, chromoly retainers, HD rocker studs, HD exhaust studs, ground keepers, etc.) Petronix igniter, new throttle position switch, re-calibrated Manifold Pressure Sensor by Geoff Bartelmes; new alternator, new voltage regulator, Chris Foley jet coated Evo headers into Quiet Can, Chris Foley metal fuel lines from tank to engine.

No Chris - this IS the right forum, since he's asking our advice on a 914 he's looking to buy that happens to be on evil-bay.

Classifieds is only for the sellers or someone referring to other sellers' ads - although even those referrals get posted in the Garage, apparently legally.

Legally? What, you joined law enforcement? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


As for the OP post/thread, there's nothing inherently wrong with asking advice about a car for sale here in the garage.

Just a generic wording "legally" Andy - my meaning that the others' posts were deemed within the Forum's rules & admin's oversight.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

...but you have confirmed my point to 914newguy about asking advice here. Thanx!
