NOTE: In most of the photos of the car that camera washed out the true color of the car. The final 2 shots were taken with a different camera to show the true Blue color.

Note: All Porsches, Alfas, etc. from the 1970's are rust buckets. The 914 has several specific rust areas that must be repaired regardless if it is a "California car." I have restored 2 914s and found the same rust areas. Caveat Emptor!
