1973 914 2.0 liter engine Options

[fduval]

I dont know why I still have this car..... ?



here is an honest little car that spent most of its time in the Washington & California climate. Therefore
absolutely no rust that I could find.
The car was very well maintained by its previous owners and is in excellent condition as we speak.
there has add a partial respray some time ago and the paint still shines and present very well. Altough there is a few
rock chips in the front but nothing dramatic.
The color is original Bahia red .
The engine is a 2 liter period correct with a desirable GA series and retained its original D Jetronic fuel injection.
The engine pulls very strong and do not smoke or burn any oil.
The transmission is also the desirable side shift 5 speed and shifts very well throughout all gears.
Interior is flawless , nice carpets, nice dash , nice seat, no tears, all gauges work , the only thing not original is the radio
but I have an original unit I can throw into the deal.
Targa top is in excellent condition so is all the glass and trims.
Doors shut with the nice ``clunk`` that we like . And all gaps line up nicely.
Calipers have been refurbished, heat exchangers and muffler are like new, both chromed rear and front bumpers do not show
a trace of pitting or dents

Only thing not working is the windshield washer mechanism which uses the pressure from the spare front tire. ( I think there is
probably an air leak ( to be investigated)

Things done since my ownership ;
5 lugs wheel conversion & 911 front suspension . ( see new pictures at the bottom )
New front ball joints,
New front Bilstein strut inserts,
New rear rotors & hubs,
5 lugs 6 x 15 Fuchs wheels,
5 new tires barely used
new fuel injectors,
new rear shocks yellow bilsteins with 140 lbs springs wich make the car handle like a champ on twisty roads.
added center console gauges ( voltmeter and oil temp ) I also have a working clock but not installed.
New battery,
Momo protopipo steering wheel ( but I kept the original if you want to replaced )
Added exterior mirror on the passenger side to have that sporty look and a more secure side vision .
And finally a 914-6 chrome exhaust tip .

So here you have it . Asking $ 19000 USD . lots of pictures available...!

here is a link to the original for sale thread from when I bought the car ,,,,,,,, lots of positive comments

Amazing that no one bought this car when you posted it for sale before and even after your upgrades. 19,000 is a very fair price even without the original engine. What is the process for buying a car in Canada and bringing into the USA ?
Are there additional fees that must be paid ???

Thanks, I hope it goes to a good home.

Going to double down on my original quote. $ 19,000 is a great price. One could not even get close to that if they tried to restore a 5k and up 914. Cars been 4-sale now going on two years, please someone overseas buy this car.

19000 usd car
380 usd 2% insurance seafreight
2900 usd shippingcost to Rotterdam
1336 usd 6 % importtax over the above
660 usd file, administration etc
250 usd landtransport local

24.526 usd local

also add, a few bits and pieces to get the car registered

Did the math (plenty times as I like the look of this car very very much) but for me (this is personal ofcourse) this is over budget for a non original 2.0 usa spec car (sorry but they are worth less here compared to an original euro spec car....).

Hi Francois,

90 % are usa imports in the lower price range (read : a lot of work needed). The good ones are for sale at astonishing prices (mostly cardealers who think they can set high price as the car has a Porsche badge)
Ofcourse I keep monitoring here in Europe as well.

Checked on a Euro spec car last week which was nearly perfect (rebuilt engine, gearbox, electrics, clutch, new floorpan and longs etc) but then I noticed this ....






GRRRRR... thinks something went wrong replacing the longs.

Once again, love your car very much and if I were closer and didn't have the additional cost I would jump right in. To make it worth for me I need (slightly) lower purchaseprice (and most probably a car not as good as yours....) keeping some extra cash aside for unexpected issues...
