We bought a '72 Red 1.7 right hand drive conversion in 1997 for $10,000. It was a beauty that wasn't appreciated in Australia, as there were so few on the road.
Very nice car, nice video. Does anybody remember the Swap Sheet from the 70s? I used to buy it every week for fifty cents, and lust after all the used cars for sale! Cheers from the Finger Lakes!
@@johanboes1He explained it is a dealer option -not factory option. I have had dealer installed A/C unit’s. Authorized to be Installed prior to the car’s first sale. Consider a Mustang C/S(not factory) or a Shelby prepped Mustang. Examples of non-factory mods still “as sold” and not discounted by collectors.
4 cylinder, not a six. No 6 cylinder with a central air cleaner. Had 2 ,73 1.7, 74 1.8 Always wanted to do a one-off with a 928 engine in it' to keep it pure. No LS swap for me
Amazing but the wood dash material and the Porsche badge shifter knob are not original / at least not on any I've owner up here in Canada. Still an amazing peace WOW
You may have seen it but neither are factory options / check with Automobile Atlanta / The leading N.Americian expert on 914 / Mr. George Hussey will set you straight.@@racingdatasystems3708

74'000 miles of pure fun that man has had
He's been an excellent caretaker...and loved every moment of it so it seems.

We had an AMX years ago and someone from Australia flew to LA to buy and then shipped it back to Oz. They didn't convert it though.
Its appreciated now!

10 Times the price.
That's _Appreciation_ !
Yes.....like you say!
It's _'Appreciated' now!
Absolutely love the 914
...that colour was made for a 914...love it...betting IF it were for sale it would be a bit above my pay grade.
Also love that color!

Not sure we had a "Swap Sheet" around here, although there was the "Recycler".
great restoration job
There’s a cover that goes over the brake fluid reservoir that’s missing. Otherwise perfection
Beautiful car in actually beautiful color!!!👍👍👍
Couldn't agree more!
Beautiful !
The wooden trim is not original...
On which car?

Beautiful condition
Yes, thanks
Great car and great color! I have a Olympic blue one which is under restoration right now.
Very cool!
I have a 71 914 same color with original footrest for passenger
Excellent!
My 1975 1.8L is my third one. All original with a bit more miles.
4 cylinder, not a six. No 6 cylinder with a central air cleaner. Had 2 ,73 1.7, 74 1.8

nice one for sure! I am on the hunt for a good one.
Good choice!
Circle Porsche got bought out by Fletcher Jones 😔
how did he prevent 50 years of chemical degradation the paint normally undergoes?
I know it was always covered and garaged when not in use, and being in a mild So. Cal climate helps too.
its a restoration....thats why...amazed nobody has put this together....we just have to be glad someone has done a great job on it..
@@andyMSH700 It's not a restoration. Watch the video. He says "it's original paint" etc.
...this is why you buy a Cali car.

Option. I've seen it on 20-30 914's in the USA since my first one in 1985.

Do these have speed?? Like are they known for being fast?
I'd say so... th-cam.com/video/HKkLsI1kU5o/w-d-xo.html
In Europe this car brand is VW-Porsche, only the 914-6 is Porsche.
Good trivia!
You all keep acting like this is a real Porsche.
It’s cos it is. I’ve been under that car enough times to know it’s a real Porsche.
@@DaveyJake I think you mean 'Volkswagen.'
You’re a idi…
Awesome 😊
The car was really stunning in person too!
