I'm putting my 74 2.0L up for sale. The body of the car was just professionally refinished with all metalwork on the body taken care of by the Metal Surgeon and a high quality repaint to the factory color. The car is complete with actual documented mileage of 78,000 or so. I have documented every owner since purchase in Connecticut, but car spent majority of its life in CA.
Interior is tan which complements the ice green color nicely. The car has previously won best in class local concours events in Denver (Colorado Concours) To my knowledge the only Ice Green Metallic 914 still in existence, perhaps the only ever to have existed (have heard some reports of me stein finding an engine deck lid of a similar color). Asking 30k, located in Denver. |

Very very nice. Do you have and can you post the COA? Were the Fuchs factory installed on this car or added later?

QUOTE(Jeff Bowlsby @ Sep 2 2016, 01:43 PM)  Very very nice. Do you have and can you post the COA? Were the Fuchs factory installed on this car or added later? Sure do! Also included is a paint chip book from 1974 with Ice Green Metallic Listed. I do not believe the Fuchs were originally fitted to the car, and also that the side stripe is not of the original vintage due to an image I have from a previous owner in 82' (below) The car was special ordered out from T.N.M. Lathrop Porsche in Niantic, CT by a submarine captain. He was restationed to Scotland (likely) several months later and was forced to sell the car (through the original dealership (classified Ad from 1974). It was bought by the second owner (Dr. Jim Wilson) who was re-stationed to California later that year. He conscripted his friend Dr. Alex Rodrigues, who was also being restationed, to drive it out for him. On the drive Alex fell in love and promptly bought it from Jim. Alex owned the car up until 1982 when a move to snowy Denver prompted the sale. (classified ad). The car was bought by Joseph Brackman who returned the car to Indiana and stored it, driving it 3-4 times a year and performing annual oil changes until I bought it in 2012. I have a complete service history from Alex Rodriguez, but only limited service history from Joseph Brackman. I have included a link to dropbox account with more photos of the body as it sits (on a body dolly currently). https://www.dropbox.com/sh/utbzham0og9ubia/...6MzOjjriJa?dl=0 Attached image(s)
