Thought I'd grab these pictures while I could. This is the 'Sloan Car' that's making the rounds for sale.
Sale Ad Text: QUOTE This is an all original 1975 914 2.0 with just over 12,000 original miles. This is not a restoration this is an original from the factory 'survivor". We purchased this car from the Sloan Car Collection, Sloan is known for his low mileage rare hard to find Porsches. We purchased this vehicle from that collection about two years ago. This car is extremely clean, the body and interior are in amazing condition. Everything is in working order and is ready for the road. We have put about 10 miles on the car and it has been stored in a climate controlled warehouse. The drivers door was repainted before we purchased it due to some very light damage. The side molding on the car was mounted with pins through the body and not glued on however it is believed that it was installed by the dealer when the car was new. This car will go through the barrett jackson auction if we are unsuccessfull here needless to say we are motivated to sell. We are asking $25,000 or best offer for this amazing collectible piece of history. Attached thumbnail(s)

ugly side molding really takes the price way down for me.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
you would think for that asking price someone could clean the darned thing, and take some decent pics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) on both I also have to ask what happened so wonderfully to increase the price from $15k on evil bay last year in Jeff Bowlsby's post - up to the current $25k asking price - other than collecting dust!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I wonder how much that dust adds to the GVW & decreases performance of that later GC 2.0??

Oh its just people trying to turn a profit on collectors. Unfortunately they picked the wrong car IMHO. Low mile 75? Who wants that??? Thats not going to tickle the fancy of the collector guys... Daily driver/ nice concourse car/ occasional autox'er/ weekend toy? Sure.. But those arnt 25k... 15k is stretching it IMHO.

I agree with Tod - great photos!! on 4712908458 listed as Phoenix Red - it's actually Tangerine L 21E used up to the end of 1972. Phoenix Red L32 K replaced Tangerine for '73-74. Similar but different enough when you see them side by side |

Not to nit pic but there are some other little things those photos reveal; Speakers aren't OE, for some reason no boots on injector leads? the clips on the air box appear to be yellow cad plate ? Un-restored ?

Rich, the yellow cad clips are correct. After years of polishing, they get silver. There is a cardboard panel with black cloth material on it that is missing from the speakers. That would hide the fact they are not original. Would love to see that car completely detailed. Talk about reference material.

The price delivered was very reasonable. It had been sitting for a while and I ended up replacing the gas tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, and gave it a detail. The side molding is period correct and the rest of the car is so awesome I don't care about the molding. I use to own a previous Dr. 914 74' Phoenix red 25K mile car and I like this one much better, and was much less. |
