This is a special 914 that I bought from a longtime owner (30+ years) in Southern California. The meticulous care has kept this 914 as rust free as any I've ever seen, with all original undercoating intact it looks nearly factory new underneath. The previous owner somehow amassed 244K miles and was religious about avoiding rain. He even removed the front trunk seal after washing the car to prevent rust in that area and let it fully dry. Every single gas fill up, oil change, and repair is recorded over this period of 30 years and there are $38K in receipts to go with it. The paint has been redone in spots and for the most part is nice, but there is a fair amount of orange peel in the clearcoat. The factory color is Delphi Green.
Worth mentioning: The doors are slightly wavy in spots due to a history of door ding repairs, hard to picture though. The hood is not nearly as glossy as the rest of the paint, not sure why. Also, the FI could probably use the touch of somebody who knows D-jet, I don't. Idle seems a little finicky and upper RPM under full throttle seems a bit flat. I suspect the muffler could be part of that, it appears pretty restrictive and I think it's for a 1.7 car, but I liked the way it looked. smile.gif I have a Ansa style to go with, so that could be swapped out easily.
Details: 1973 "914-S" with a fresh 2056 FI motor, Deep 6" Fuch's, 19mm front sway, 140# rear springs with bilstiens, SSI exchangers, CocoMats. Almost all NOS fuel injection components were used in the motor build and has less than 100 miles on it. The car was originally a 1.7 car, but I sourced this freshly built 2056 motor with proper GA case and 2.0 heads.
The car currently has 5 Deep 6" Fuch's with brand new Goodyear Eagle tires. I have priced the car two way's, one with the black Superlight wheels (which looks stunning btw), and one as it sits with the Fuch's.
$15,500 with the Fuch's
$13,500 with the Superlight's
