nathan the one howard showed on e-bay is sweet. sure its got some miles on her but its not a nightmare full resto. restos lead to excessive drinking bad credit pissed off g/friends/wives/kids/dogs etc. keep your eyes open you will find one. cannot think of anything better than owning 2 porsches. but right now i have my hands full with one. also check with jim patrick@patrickmotorsports.com hes a 914 NUT! sometimes you give up one for the other. perfect body vs. higher mileage or vs. versa. but bottom line get one you can have some instant gratification. even if you only get to drive it a few times, stuff in shop or your garage and prioritize components to make road worthy. the day i bought mine and todays pics are two totally different beasts and im only 7+months into it. 3000 miles driven vs. what ive dumped into it , do not look good on debit credit fun factor spread sheet. and i got a very nice one that would have been fine putting around town like the previous owner did. but i had greater VISIONS (delusions) OF GRANDEUR! LOL!
