HERE GOES... NO NONSENSE LISTING.  THIS IS A PERSONAL CAR CURRENTLY DRIVING AND WITH CALIFORNIA PINK SLIP IN HAND.  INSURED AND READY TO DRIVE.  DRIVER, BUT REALLY NEEDS A FULL RESORATION.

I'LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO DESCRIBE WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE CAR.  I PICKED IT UP AS A PROJECT TO GET RUNNING WHICH I DID.  SAT FOR 6 YEARS BEFORE I PICKED IT UP AND BASICALLY STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY WITH A FLUSH OF THE CARBS AND THE FUEL TANK. 

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT FOR THE FINE FOLKS OF OAKLAHOME, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CHEVROLET "OAKIE" 914-6!  THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THIS CAR WAS A LIFETIME MECHANIC AND DID A VERY INTERESTING JOB.

ENGINE:

1966 CORVAIR 110 MOTOR WAS COVERTED TO A REVERSE RUNNING ENGINE WITH A NEW CAM, OIL PUMP, DISTRIBUTOR GEARS ETC...  THIS IS NECESSARY FOR THE PORSHCE CONVERSION DUE TO THE MID ENGINE CAR.  ENGINE HAS ALSO BEEN CONVERTED TO A DUAL IDF 40 MM WEBER CARBURETORS.  THEY ARE NICELY MATCHED, BUT THERE IS A SLIGHT VACUUM LEAK ON ONE OF THE INTAKES THAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND, SO UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS A BACKFIRE PERIODICALLY ON DECELLERATION.  THE MOTOR SOUNDS VERY TIGHT AND HAS A SLIGHT LOPE FROM AN AFTERMARKET CAM. 

ONCE IN A WHILE THE STARTER SPINS AND DOES NOT ENGAGE THE FLYWHEEL.  I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADJUST THIS WITH SHIMS OR WHATEVER. 

HAS DUAL EXHAUST AND 3 INTO ONE HEADERS ON EACH SIDE.  SOUNDS REALLY COOL AND PRETTY MEAN. 

CHASSIS:

1972 PORSHCE CONVERSION / ORIGINAL RESORATION DONE IN 1994.  TWENTY YEARS LATER IT IS PRETTY ROUGH AND NEED PAIN.  NO SIGNS OF EVER BEING CRASHED OR ANY BODY DAMAGE.  HELL HOLE WHERE THE BATTERY GOES HAS NO SIGNIFICANT RUST AT ALL.  NO SIGNS OF RUST UNDER THE BODY AND NO HOLES THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD.  I RIPPED OUT THE UGLY BLUE CARPET AND LEFT IT OPEN SO IT CAN BE INSPECTED IN EVERY AREA.  I WILL TAKE ADDITIONAL PICS AS REQUESTED OF CERTAIN AREAS. 

INTERIOR:

BLACK SEATS WITH A FEW RIPS, NO VINYL BEHIND THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT.  BAD SEAL AT THE LOWER REAR WINDOW AND EXTRA REAR WINDOW IS INCLUDED.  NO CARPET.  DASH PAD IS THE USUAL CRAKED UP PIECE.  THE WINDSHILD IS GOOD, VISORS GOOD,

EXTERIOR:

NEEDS TIRES, THEY HAVE LOTS OF TREAD AND ARE DRIVEABLE, BUT OLD.  WHEELS ARE WESTERN WHEEL 14 INCH.  HUBS HAVE BEEN COVERTED TO WHEEL LUG STUDS AND STANDARD 1/2 INCH LUG MAG LUG NUTS.  BODY NEEDS PAINT STRIPPED AND THEN A NEW PAINT JOB.  THIS IS AN EXCELLENT STARTING POINT FOR A NICE LOOKING 914.  THE TOP LOOKS REALLY GOOD, BUT ALSO NEED TO BE DYED BLACK AGAIN.  I CLEANED IT WITH A PRESSURE WASHER TO GET THE OLD JUNK OFF. 

OVERALL: 

DECENT DRIVING CAR, BUT NEEDS RESTO ON BODY AND SOME WORK TO MAKE IT RUN PERFECT.  I WILL DO A VIDEO OF IT RUNNING FOR ANYONE INTERESTED. 

WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT SELLING TO A HAPPY BUYER.  IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION AND DO NOT TAKE THE CAR, WE WILL UNDERSTAND.  WE WILL, HOWEVER EXPECT IMMEDIATE PAYMENT AND A REFUND WILL BE GIVEN IF YOU DO NOT TAKE THE CAR.  WE WILL EXPECT YOU TO PAY ANY EXPENSES WE HAVE INCURRED FOR YOUR CHANGE OF MIND, BUT WE WANT YOU TO BE SATIFIED.
