I stumbled on to this Craigslist posting for a Porsche 914 that is being sold to fund chemo treatment for the family dog, Pippen:
quote from seller’s listing:

Beautiful 1973 Porsche 914 for sell, not trade. It is a 1.7 liter with a clear title. The vehicle looks real good for its age. It is a restoration vehicle and a lot of work has been done to the vehicle already. The inside could use some TLC. I have original paperwork on all work completed (by a shop) on the vehicle since 1987. There has been approximately 3 owners. We believe the 77,000 miles on the car are original, according to the dealer we bought the car from years ago; I have no paperwork to suggest either way.
Some of the work done on vehicle since 1987: Replaced Clutch – 1987; Transmission Repaired & Replaced Main Shaft – 1987; Clutch Kit – 1999; Alternator Exchanged – 1999; Replaced Front/Rear Struts – 2000; Transmission Serviced – 2002; Bosch Rebuilt Starter – 2002; Replaced Front Brake Pads – 2003; Replaced Voltage Regulator & Alternator Belt – 2003; Updated Stereo w/Speakers – 2003; Replaced fuel hoses coming from tank (tank seals are in great condition) – 2008.
The missus and I are dog owners ourselves and we’ve been fortunate not to have any serious issues with our dog, Sam. We couldn’t help but try to assist in spreading the word about this story. If you’re in the market for a 914 in the Pacific Northwest, this might make for an easy decision under the circumstances.
