914 for sale, clean title, CA registered, super fun driving 914!

Yours for $9,250

1972 Porsche 914, 1.7 D-jet, with lots of performance and appearance upgrades. I am the second owner; the original owner was a truck driver in the Santa Cruz mountains who was dealing with cancer and sold it to me in 2005 with a seized engine and lots of floorpan rust from leaking window seals. The original color is silver, and the wheels are American Racing alloy 15x6 with cone seat lugs. The previous owner made those changes in the 1980s. The car had been in a minor accident in the 1980s, front left, and it still has a small dent in the fender lip and the front bumper.

Below is a chronological list of work done to create and maintain this awesome machine as it evolved from daily driver, weekend autocross racer, weekend cafe racer, and back to commute duties over the last 12 years under my care. The list below serves to both justify the asking price of the car and was fun to put together
