Uncanny resemblance - at first I thought it was the same 914 from evil-bay - both are even missing the Fuchs center caps! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1975-2-0-w-...em=270879701110

IMHO the interior was NOT reupholstered, or if it was, then they didn't bother to replace the permanently compressed side bolster foam on the seats! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

You guys have all hit the major incorrect stuff. I just love those descriptions that start: "All original survivor, except....." followed by a long list of what's not correct!

The side stripes aren't so bad though nor off, since the dealers sold those & often installed them before the customer requested them, along with radios, undercoating, etc. that added 50% profit margins to the "Dealer Price as Optioned" window sticker!

Had he used proper 914 pass. side mirror, I wouldn't mind that either under the same reasoning (available from dealers here), and it's a good safety f3eature in today's heavier traffic. ...and let's face it, this is really a nicely refurb'ed DD - if it runs good - not a CW show car at anything beyond local events.

No Reserve - I do believe he's stuck under $8500 or much lower, unless he finds "a bigger fool"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

The eBay ad:

Here is what is left for you; the paint is not perfect as it is not original and has scratches and a chip. I have seen evidence of original yellow from a chip on inside door jam, the engine compartment is white and the rear trunk is white but the front trunk is black and should have been white. I would have not put new decals on a bad paint job, I'm just saying it is not perfect. I now have some surface rust in rear trunk were water sits when cleaned and one spot inside drivers door. The Hell hole is solid but the actual battery pan has a little rust. It is stilll very solid for the battery therefore I did not feel the need to replace even though it was cheap enough. The interior dash and leather covers on sides of windshield are cracked and need replaced.

The BJ description:

The car was purchased by me, dismantled to rolling shell. The doors, deck lid and trunk were removed and the body was stripped to bare metal as well as the jams and trunk. The car was block sanded, primered and painted the correct Porsche factory color Wimbledon white base coat clear coat. The car was then reassembled.

WTF?

Well, something is a little fishy here. Not sure if I'd ever trust a BJ auction after seeing this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

BTW, someone needs to teach the owner the difference between leather and vinyl...

I hope you were kidding as the auction guys are generally crooks especially BJ. I've been to seveal of the biggies from BJ to Christie's and they all 'embellish' in one way or another. This must have been a favor to someone or part of a larger collection because the commission would be half the hamer drop.

Never thought much of BJ to begin with, but sounds like some of the more reputable ones aren't much better. I personally couldn't see buying a car at an auction, the concept of buying based on visual inspection and the auctioneer's word is a little scary in my mind. This car in particular ought to send knowledgeable buyers running for the hills and asking some questions about the auction house.

I'd disagree, they are a well run business that I think has had a great impact on the older car market both buyers and sellers. The greased palms and commisions are part of the experiance. IMO

Looks like a different car now. No mirrors at all. Check out the sloppy weld repair on the trunk hinge

Should fetch over 10 now I would think.

That one is very nice. Only thing that really sticks out to me, is the seats. Other little items don't really detract from the car too much. Paintwork looks great. With Jake on this, over 10K.

I do not know if that is the original white or not, but it looks pretty darn nice to me. Add some mirrors and get rid of the polished Fuchs for the original look Fuchs and it looks good. I think $10,000+ is likely. I would go higher but with it being a '76 and the smog requirement in CA I would have to consider that.
