A member here has a 914 and I would really like someone from here to be my eyes. I would have it shipped to the East coast, so really would like
some help in looking it over. I know it’s a lot to ask.

The seller is aware and okay with this.
Thanks.

Never heard of it either, looked it up and definitely a beautiful area.
I have seen some pictures of the car and it appears to be what I am looking for, unfortunately for me it’s on the wrong coast. It appears to be an original, straight, stock, rust-free 914, with an operable engine. There are a couple of spots of rust that the seller has pointed out. I’m not seeing any flags that cause concern but pictures don’t always tell the whole story.
I would like someone to confirm the picture and overall description match the car in real life.
Obviously I’m not expecting a deep dive nor a thorough inspection.
Not in a major rush, I’ll find out if the seller has a timeline.

By the way I'm just messing with ya, I'm actually from Paso Robles and have lived here for the last 33 years. Mine's the ugly-ass puke-gold 914.

There's a few 914's that I've seen, one of them I see driving into the area by the north end of Golden Hill rd towards Circle B ranch, and there's another one that I seem to remember was dark green that I usually saw parked by the Fastenal on Ramada Drive. Where's the one you're looking at located in Paso?

33 years, hang in there eventually you’ll become one of the senior owners. I’ve only seen it in a few pictures, it’s possible you’ve seen it. Another board member is looking at it
For me this weekend.

Any tips on what to look for in a roller that had dealer installed A/C. All removed now, basically a roller.
