Email me if the criags ad dies and I can hook you up that way as well.
1971 Porsche 914 for sale. Only 2 owners! 1st owner had it for 27 years. I’ve had it for the last 10 years, and have all records that date back to 1971!
-1.7 Liter, 4-cylinder engine
-5-speed manual transmission
-146,000 miles
-Runs great! I’ve used it recently as my daily driver!
-30 mpg hwy!
-Original blue CA license plates
-Smog exempt since it's a 1971!
-The good: almost all original, no accidents, straight body, complete records from 1971, oil changed meticulously, fantastic warm idle, lots of parts replaced, no rust in truck or in the front, starts right up, runs GREAT!
-The not-so-good: rust underneath windshield, rough cold idle (for first few mins), worn seats, sanded and ready for new paint
Some of the restoration done:

Per my buddy Don:
"Posted it on Wed night, sold on Saturday. $3600 cash in hand. Done. Dude is a euro dealer and he's shipping it back to the Netherlands and will restore it and sell it in Germany for a pretty penny. I guess the strong Euro is helping some people's business significantly."
Wow - we had all heard of this going on. Not neccessarily with 914s, but here's a firsthand example.
