We are listing this 1973 914 for a second time with additional information and details as requested by previous bidders. Photos on the link now include: Porsche COA, Engine number (matching the COA), and numerous underside photos with the car on a proper lift. We would like to thank all previous bidders and hope that the additional information is useful. The reserve price has been lowered for this second auction. In further testimony to the robustness of this car, it was driven for 90 minutes to a new storage location and the drive was 100% trouble free. Thanks!Alaska Blue with Black interior. I will be the first to admit that I didn't fully appreciate this unique car until I saw it, inspected it and drove it. I then understood it. It is one of the most original and authentic old school Porsches I have ever worked with. It's currently owned by the second owner from new and has just under 30,000 original and documented miles on it. The paint is original, the interior looks factory fresh and everything is exactly where it ought to be. It's a clean and honest example of an early 914 and for anyone searching for this type of vehicle, it is exactly the right kind of car to seek out.This 914 was originally sold in Colorado on April 30, 1973 and stayed with that first owner until February 28, 2012 at which time it was purchased by 914 specialist, Auto Atlanta. Mileage at the time was 28,922, approximately 600 miles less than the current reading. The current owner purchased the car from Auto Atlanta in 2012 with plans of owning for the next 39 years but successive career related moves have made that impractical. It is now offered for sale and presents a unique opportunity to the right buyer. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity has been requested but 914 experts have informed me that it is further unique because it likely came without the Appearance Group. All chassis and VINs match in all locations on the car and it comes with its original manual showing the original stamps. The preliminary inspection found everything in working order. Although the inspection was done without the aid of a lift, no rust was in evidence anywhere on the car. (see additional photos by requesting link). Recent service including new tires and fuel pump has this car starting and running to perfection. And although this car will almost surely appreciate in value, it should be purchased to be driven because it is a blast to drive. It inspires confidence and brings a quick smile to anyone's face.My thanks to George and Tom and others on the 914Club forum for their guidance and 914 tutorage it is greatly appreciated.This Porsche is offered for sale under our Weissach Autohaus' Broker Services Program allowing a privately owned Porsche to be sold by Weissach Autohaus on behalf of its owner.
