That's a good looking car. If it runs, it's probably worth the $8,500. Like skl said, it's probably been painted. The rockers and front and rear valence should be black, but it looks good the way it's done. The front bumper will be expensive to replace or get the dents out of.

It's a very early car based on the vinyl and cubby instead of gauges on the center console. Good looking car.

Wonder if the VIN shows it to be an early car. The early cars had no engine designation on them. What was it, the first 400 or so? When my 73 2.0 was ordered, the dealer was calling it the 914S. It came without any engine designation on the rear.

Car looks very clean and original. My favorite type. If you purchase it, get a COA and bring it back to its original delivered condition. I still think these are the Speedsters of the next generation.

The Brett Johnson books says it was the first 1000 cars of 73. He has a couple of pictures of cars with the A pillar vinyl.

Notice it has black windshield trim as well. Was that done with the A pillar trim?? Learn something every day even after 40+ years!!

As for redoing the front bumper- I had the Bumper Shop in Cali rechrome my front bumper on the '73- they also filled in the holes left from removing the front bumperettes. They did a great job...

Nice to see the PCA prez hanging out here... FWIW I sold my first GT3 to the previous prez...small world!!

My 73 had vinyl on the a pillar back in the day, but I took all of the vinyl off when I did the repaint. See the pic of it back in the 80s in my thread "1973 914 first car."

Good looking example.. Make sure you look underneath as well. While you likely couldn't "flip it" at $8500, it doesn't mean it isn't a nice example.

The yellow '73 914 in this thread brings back fond memories of my own yellow '74 914 1.8 with its optional Appearance Group Fuchs alloy wheels...

Those were the days...
