**Being re-listed after 2, count 'em 2 Non-Paying Bidders! PLEASE do not bid if you don't plan to follow through with the transaction.** Up for sale is my 1973 Porsche 914. I've taken quite a few pictures which spell out most of the story, but the rest is as follows: The car has been garaged for at least the last 15 years (since my buddy and I have owned it). It has not been started or run in the last 5+. I rebuilt the engine about 8 or 9 years ago with a friend who is a certified Porsche technician and loved working on these little VW motors. The motor was rebuilt using a stock 2 liter crank and 96mm Pistons and jugs (punching it out to 2.1 liters) You can definitely feel the extra power in the seat of your pants. Fuel is delivered via twin Weber 40 IDF carbs and a facet fuel pump. The flywheel was re-surfaced and a new clutch disc, pressure plate and TO bearing were installed as well. New shift bushings were installed front to back and the car shifted great and drove really well the last time I had it out. I don't recall if the heat exchangers are SS or not, but they are not rusty. They connect to a Bursch muffler which was new at the time and maybe has 200 miles on it (it is rusty in the pics but Bursch used/uses garbage paint on their exhaust and it burnt off in about 20 mins of run time). Battery tray area has the usual rust on the tray itself, but the wall structure around it looks pretty solid--I tried to get a good close up picture of that area. In total, the Engine has maybe 4 or 500 miles on it tops (after the rebuild). The car was parked due to my life getting busy (college and no money) and I really would forget about it for years at a time. I restore/build motorcycles now and will not have a place to store this 914 for much longer, so its time to let her go. Tires are Kuhmo, and were brand new 5 or so years ago. They are flat in the pics but held air (as new tires should) and were driven on the last time I drove the car. They also only have a couple hundred miles on them. There is no dry-rot in them so hopefully the flat spots aren't too bad so they can be used. Riviera rims with Porsche center caps round out the rolling parts. The body has been re-painted (before I owned it) in a cream white color. The paint is not good, but not bad. I'd call it a 10 foot car. There are several scratches though, and a few areas where there is some bubbling under the paint, I've tried to take close-ups of those so you can see what you're dealing with. The front and rear trunk have a bit of surface rust, but it stops there. They are not rusted through. The longitudinals (under the plastic PORSCHE side skirts) appear to be solid, but its tough to get a real good look. I don't remember them being an issue when I had this car on jack stands years ago. The interior is in nice shape and the dash is not cracked. The driver seat mount though is broken and will need to be re-welded back into place (I didn't own a MIG when I was working on this car years ago so I never fixed it). The passenger and driver floor are solid. The radio was removed but all wiring is in place. That is all I can think of at the moment, but if you're bidding on this car, you know what a 914 is and what is involved in getting them back on the road. You also will know what questions to ask so PLEASE feel free to drop me a line if you can think of anything that I'm leaving out--I'd be happy to give you my phone # at that time so we can talk the car over in more detail. I'm really hoping this turns out to be a great project for someone to get running and enjoy the rest of summer, then maybe take it a step further over the winter and really do it up. I have clear title in hand, along with OEM owners manual.
