1975 Porsche 914. 1.8L Fuel Injected Manual I Purchased the car in June, 2017 * Since then I have had to do very little:Replaced the fuel filter, installed a front hood logo, Had it tuned and brakes adjusted, heat shielded the starter, installed LED dash lights (Blue) / New stereo (but the original Blaupunk comes with it.) Had installed a starter button to left side of dashboard. Changed the battery. Had an oil change,
Car runs amazingly and has been kept in a garage, rubbed with a diaper and driven aprox. 1,000 miles per year at the most. Car shows, trips to the beach, winding mountain roads, etc…
What it needs: Probably a new coat of paint at some point, Fan / Heater is not working, latch for front targa on drivers side.
