This original 1971 914 was the straightest, truest 914 I'd ever seen with Zero rust anywhere and a great platform for conversion. The concept of this project was to build a street legal race car that hailed back to the days you drove your Porsche to the track, removed the spare tire and any unnecessary weight, raced all weekend and drove home. So anything that didn't make it faster was left off. So there is no heat and the only vent is a hose from the grill at the base of the windshield inside, pointed at the driver. [I'll throw in a dash from a '76 914 on request] Every part of this car has been removed and upgraded with only the original fuse panel headlight motors unchanged. The shop that did the body work did an excellent job on the fit and finish of the fiberglass bonding everything inside and out. Their paintwork although 99% perfect has some flaws that showed up shortly after painting. I think from uncured resin out gassing. The flaws are small and may be corrected by color sanding. I know there are multiple coats of PPG single stage black applied. This car is lightweight, solid, with a very powerful engine, stiffly sprung with big effective brakes and is scary fast with a great exhaust note and begs to be flogged. A fantastic WEEKEND TOY. It is the SPEEDSTER of the '70s stripped down,elemental, a blast to drive, but not a candidate for a daily driver It has never made it to any track and after completion I lost interest. It deserves a new home. The odometer has 86114 miles but may not be original will display top speed of 150 mph. The tach needle recently started bouncing, so may need a new coaxial lead to the distributor sensor. There is a new VDO oil pressure gauge in the dash and the temp gauge above the fuel gauge is hooked up and working. The fuel gauge and reserve light are working and accurate. The starting price represents just what I have spent out of pocket on the engine core, the rebuild, the PMO carburetor system, and new clutch flywheel etc, so the car, bodywork, paint job, interior redo and the 1000 hours sweating every detail is a bonus. The car comes with a custom fit cover, and an extra top. 914s are notoriously rust prone. Owning several and parting out many I have seen the ravages of rust on these cars. THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY RUST FREE AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT SO RARE.

I apologize to others who inquired that were sent an unnecessarily complicated link in Google+/formerly Picasa. I didn't know how desperate Google had become to get people to sign up for plus. I'm now using Flickr.
