1975 porsche 914

I purchased this car seven years ago as a completed V8 conversion and drove it a few thousand miles while at the same time upgrading it in several ways.   The car had a minor fire when new. was therefore totalled and became a doner for this project.   That explaines the low mileage. it was one of the first such conversions ever done.   This car has seen very limited use for its entire life and never been out in inclement weather.   The rust on the floorboards is evidently from storage. as I mentioned. one area does need repair where the floor meets the firewall behind the seats.   My upgrades have been to the routing of the cooling lines. getting them thru the rocker panels and up thru the front to the radiator.   This was accomplished with several custom made pieces of hardware.   Where they pass thru tunnels in the fuel tank. header wrap totally prevents any heat transfer to the fuel itself.   I was taking this car on road trips and driving it around untill I hit a curb with the right rear wheel and bent the swingarm on that side and cracked the 901 gearbox with that impact.   The body remained absolutely unharmed and straight.   At that point. 3 years ago. my activity stalled with this car due to having to relocate my business and economic conditions in general.   The engine remains out of the car. and waiting to go back in with it is the CROWN JEWEL of what I have to offer here . . . a totally modified 930 transaxle with all new parts and limited slip differential.   Additionally. I designed and built a mechanical shifter that shortens the overall length by 4 inches. making it ideal to put into a 914.   The photo of the stock and new shift rods shows how this is possible. all of this was assembled by Perfect Power Inc. . Buffalo Grove Illinois. whose absolute specialty is Porsche.   They did or contracted for all the special machining and modifications to use this in a mid-engine car.   I have complete build sheets and ratio/speed information. I spent over 12 thousand dollars on this box before creating the shifter.   The interior is in very good condition with no cracks in the dash. every thing works.   I have a replacement swingarm.   I myself have been in product developement. mechanical design and prototyping as a career working on consumer. medical. and industrial products making me competant in everything I accomplished here.    I require an $800 paypal deposit within 24 hours of the end of this auction.   You will be bidding to OWN this car. not an option to buy.   Please have necessary funds available to complete this transaction within 7 business days of the sale in cash or bank wire transfer unless you and I make other arrangements.   Car is sold "as is" with no warrantees.   I have a clear Illinois title for this car. please ask all questions BEFORE bidding.   Car may be picked up or shipping arrangements will have to be made.   My phone is 312 972 0047. my name is Paul. thank you for looking.   Please feel free to make offers.
