of course you COULD buy an 80,000 mile 2005 Boxster for the same price!!!!!!

 

Anyone have a shop near Philly they could recommend who is familiar with 914s?

 

The biggest detriment to this car is the 1.7 and in my mind hardly a detriment at all.

Original paint '73. In Tangerine.
Hardly any rust......

what is stopping you ? Just go get that car at 11.5 and get it gone. Or you're gonna find it gone when you get ready to do the deal. For this kind of money, forego the ppi and do it. We're talking about a very straight and original car with such a minimal amount of rust, mostly cosmetic. Even the battery tray looks to be o.e. and how often is that seen ? Never.

I am really surprised it's still available.

 

I have to be truthful and say this is one of the cleanest cars I have run across since looking for my own 914, which I bought in 1994, and which had a totally dry history of life in central MT and ND. Zero winter usage, no rains, thus resulting in a battery tray and hell hole which looked factory new. These just do not show up with minimal to zero rust, in original paint, for sale to the general public.

They do, but they are not talked about. They are sold between friends and behind closed doors for undisclosed amounts.

Again, I encourage you to just get this into your care. Wrap up this deal. Next time you make the connection, there isn't going to be a 914 for sale on the other end of that call.

 

^^^ Yep. There is no "magic" to it. Look the car over well, take it for a drive, and buy it if all seems fine.

 

maybe if you are not buying it you could share the contact info on the car.

 

Sierra Madre has an original green '72 for sale on their website if you're looking for options.

No affiliation.

 

Just looked at the pictures. That is a good car and worth the "ask".

 

This^ I've been looking for awhile.......

 

Took everyone's advice...done deal! Will post additional pics shortly.

 

good man. anytime you need 914 advice do not hesitate to call me personally

 

Thank you. I'll likely take you up on that offer!

Best,
Alex

 

Enjoy! Yep we all want to see more pix...

Picked her up today! Will start a new thread to document the car and the projects that I'll undertake, but in the meantime, here are a few pics.
