Vehicle Detail

I have been restoring this Creamsicle going on 4 years now. It has been a long slow process with plenty of ups & downs. To start with it was a very solid car with very little rust. Just a bit on the battery tray but none below in the hell hole. I replaced the battery tray & it's support. I rebuilt the motor & the transmission. There is about 4000 miles on the drivetrain now. Most of which came on my trip down to Lake Havasu & route 66. It was a 914 get together & I made the 2500+ mile trip in my LE. I have the Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche for it. I can't guarantee it with the sale of the car. I lost it in a move a year or so ago. If I can track it down it will be included. Overall this car is in great shape & draws compliments everywhere I take it. I love it but have a v8 conversion I want to dedicate my time & funds too. So it is time for my LE to have a new home. The paint is about 2 years old but it hasn't been on the road much during that time. I would rate the paint a solid 8.5 out of 10. There are a few small touch ups & blemishes. I would say it isn't quite concours condition. Only on close inspection would anyone be able to see the minor flaws. The drivetrain is solid & very fresh. The motor was completely torn down & rebuilt as was the transmission. I just made a 2500 mile drive in it with only a minor problem. I found brand new Stainless Steel heat exchangers for it during the restoration. The heat works excellent! This restoration I kept everything stock. It will need a new windshield. Much to my anger on my trip was catching a pebble on the windshield. It cracked & made me scream profane things as I drove down the road. I waited 4 months for the windshield which was a NOS stock windshield that came from Germany. The brakes were all rebuilt & the interior is Excellent. I found an uncracked dash & installed it. The carpet is all new & the backad has no cracks. The seats are in Excellent shape with one minor tear on the drivers seat. The door panels are Excellent. I would rate the interior a solid 9.5 out of 10. It also has the rear window defrost which is fairly rare in 914's. There are a couple small issues. The horn isn't working. The high beams also won't stay on. They will flick with the lever but not stay on. There is also small stumble at 3700 rpms. It is hardly noticable & pulls great. It drives great even with the slight stumble. Just don't want there to be any surprises. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I'd be happy to show the car to anyone. I am also willing to ship it overseas. I am close to Portland Oregon & can drop it off at the Port with no problems. Any shipping is the responsibility & expense of the buyer. I am happy to help but any quote's need to be handled on your end. On Jul-26-12 at 06:51:30 PDT, seller added the following information: This does have a branded title as listed above. The only way you would ever know is by looking at the title. I could find nothing with the car to justify it. This is an extrememly nice LE 914. Buy it & drive it like it deserves. You will have a smile on your face if you do
