Father's Signal Orange 914 2.0 with 88,000 original miles is now mine! A few details: No mechanical faults. Black interior, Non-appearance group but with center console and gauges, lowered with Koni shocks, "2 Litre" Fuchs wheels and new 195/65-15 Pirelli P6000 tires. Otherwise stock and very clean. No rust too! Porsche has been in dry storage in Palo Alto for 16 years. Last DMV registration was 1988 - so long ago that the VIN dropped off the DMV records! Now re-registered in my name. New home will be Sunnyvale. I'll post a few pics when the car is running again. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Well, thank you everyone for the nice welcome! My father is the second owner. I remember the day he brought it home. I can't believe it's been thirty years since then. First owner purchased the car from Carlsen and kept it for less than one year. The tires are brand new because the 914 was sitting on skinny little 155/80-15 Michelin XZX's. Remember those? I should have some pics for everyone in the next day or two.
Thanks! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) |
