Man that is NICE!
I keep looking at the nicer ones on Ebay and thinking what to do to bring them up.
Up on the level you did these are nice Porsches.
But I have the 951. And then I think I might sell it and go for a 930.
Or keep it and get a 914 to go with it.
But I always thought parts were hard to get for the 914. But most parts should be available from VW if not from Porsche right ? Since a lot of the items were sourced there.
Again very nice job.

Very true! As much as I love 930s, I definitely would have no qualms with a nice 951 and a nice 914 for about the same price. Heck, you could probably find a nice 6 and a Turbo S for the price of most 930s these days.

Thanks Jay and ECS. And I suspect it is true as all the 930's I have seen are up there.
I have a tippy top 951 with 92,000 on it and every receipt since new. I spent big $$$$ on it over the last couple of years to put it in the top mechanical and cosmetic shape with all new Porsche everything. It does have a few paint dings on its original paint , but just how it is. It has even picked up 4 car show trophies here over the last year.
But are parts available for the 914 ?
I have seen them to $20,000 but I was thinking $10 - 12 K would get me in. If not I guess I will keep shopping the 911 SC's . At least air cooled 911 everything is going to be availbale forever LOL!
I will have to PM you Jay and get you to point out a couple of the 914's that merit bidding or buying.
Not to hijack the thread, but thanks guys.
And again a GREAT 914 to the OP !
If I had one it has got to be up in this category . Maybe not overnight but eventually. Who did the restoration work on this car BTW??

If I have a 951, a 914, get the wife a Cayenne, and even a Panamera - Nope you dont have any REAL Porsches
