Up for sale is a 1972 914 1.7L Porsche that shows to have 77,601 miles on the odometer (which does not work - speedometer does work) actual mileage unknown.  This car is being sold AS-IS with NO-Reserve.  I have owned this car for about 1 year with intentions of repairing and restoring.  I'm having to move and have no place to work on it so - the opportunity is yours.

As you can see in the pictures I have tried to make it look as good as I can yet at the same time trying to show all defects I am aware of.

The car runs and drives good.  Transmission shifts surprisingly well after installing a bushing kit.  There is an oil leak.  I haven't put it on a rack to find but I think it may be from the drain plug (I have changed the oil).  I put new tires on this car and have only put about 1,000 miles on it.

The front and rear trunk lids (as you can see in pictures) have been sat on and the paint has cracked.  There are a few places that the paint didn't adhere to the body and has chipped, such as next to the finder and front lid and under the windshield.  The windshield has wiper scratches and the mirrors are replacements.

All the lights and gauges are functional except for the odometer (speedometer works).  Defroster and hardware are missing.  I'm not sure what needs to be replaced.  It has a tape player but I have not tried to get it working.

As you can see from the pictures, the interior needs a lot of attention.  The person I got it from had let it set out for 10+ years with a leak in the Sun-roof seal.  I think I have that fixed but the damage to the upholstery is major.  The dash is cracked and carpet is not great.  The targa top comes off and on with out a hitch and is in great shape (the glass in it opens to a tilt to let in more air).

The front trunk has a hole in it that I have been told was for an after-market A/C.  The person I got the car from had never removed the wooden floor that covers that hole.  The Green floor you see in the pictures was purchased to have that floor repaired - which is included with the sale of the car.  I have replace the rear trunk lid springs with damper lifts as well as hinges for the rear lid that were bent.

The battery box, that I hear so much about, looks good (I replaced the batter when I got the car).

I have keys for the car- one set for the doors - one for the rear deck - and one for ignition.  When the car is first started, it does not like to idle but once it worms up is runs great.  I've never driven one of these cars before I bought this on so I have nothing to compare it to (always wanted on when they were new).

 

This is really a nice car for it to be 41 years old.  It's better than I have made it sound.  Just want the buyer to know before purchase what I know.

Once again - the car is sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied.

Should you have any questions, I'll try my best to answers them.  Thanks for looking and bidding.
