just arrived the perfect driver, 1975 914 1.8 Options

[dr914@autoatlanta.com]

In these times where the value of 914s has become so high as to be unreasonable, and too many fussy concours types have entered the arena restoring 914s to such a level that they are un drivable, it is so nice to see one that can actually be driven but is still nice enough for a fairly picky 914 guy like me:

1975 914 zambezi green with buckskin 1.8, original paint never rusted or crashed, gut plenty of original patina 122 thousand miles: some nicks and dings, dash cracked, first gear scratches, rear springs are sagging a bit, needs some shifter bushings, but just runs so great with the 1.8 afc fuel injection and heavier bumpers that make it feel more stable. The blaupunkt am fm isn't bad either! My new driver! NOW I do not need to worry about a door ding

More 914s like this encourage people to drive them every day and not put them away under flannel car covers.

@altitude411 and @kelty360 comments seem mean spirited.

Some go through life tearing others down thinking it elevates them. They can't see how foolish this makes them seem.
And then others pile on...

Doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks for the psych 101 analysis of my motivation. I hope it feeds your sense of superiority. You did miss one little facet of my posting....fatigue. I’m tired of being lied to. I’m having to go through life in an era when lies are just alternate facts and I can’t even escape to a cherished car forum to avoid it. I resent that and I’m not shy about calling out a blatant practitioner.

Btw, would you consider a crack in the dash of your pristine survivor as just a little patina?

I suspect this is one reason for the above post. As usual, instead of just following the rules and posting a classified ad for a used car, the good doc tries to create a vibe by posting BS about this being his new daily driver. He is correctly called out for his BS by the gentleman above....probably because his M.O. is getting so tired and obvious.

Only days later, said vehicle can be found on cargurus FOR SALE....as was implied would happen. I can't 100% guarantee this is the same car because he never gave us the VIN in his original post, but I would bet my paycheck. And, AS USUAL, it is purposely advertised with only 12,983 miles on it instead of 122K which he admitted to on this site to more savvy viewers. He did the exact same thing on the yellow car that he originally claimed had 15K on it, even after he knew it had over 150K.

So, I don't normally go to such lengths to discredit someone, but sometimes you literally have to prove what's going on by providing actual facts and follow up on the claims and actions of our modern day ringmasters and charlatans. This is especially true when Admins intervene and stop threads because someone is getting shit on. All I can say to that, is if you're the guy doing most the shit slinging, don't be surprised if you get a little fecal matter on your own shirt. I've included a link to the cargurus ad...no picture yet.
