I am about 20 minutes or so from Carson so I gave the guy a call. Got a machine and left a message. We will see where it goes from there. I can do a full photo shoot of it and give you an honest evaluation of the condition of the car. I can also do a compression and leak down if time permits. I just have so much going on that I dont think I would have time to do all of that. That is if the guy even calls.

I don't know if this will help anyone, but I was considering this car at one point. I think the guy's name was Barry. He claimed the car was in good condition, but added that it was leaking oil (notice the blue tarp under the car) and then he also stated he was having fuel problems so he couldn't get it started. Can't recall if he was going to replace the fuel pump or carbs. When I was talking to him, he was asking more than he is asking now, so I'm guessing he's given up on fixing the car and he just wants to "dump" it. He claimed the car was driven by a woman in Thousand oaks before he purchased it, so the car was "babied" most of its life. This actually was around the time of the German Auto fest last year. I remember I actually spoke to him on the phone as I was having lunch with my roommate in Ventura Harbor... at about the same time as the transport got plowed. I lost interest in the car when I purchased mine.

I talked with the seller about 6 months ago... It has been listed on many sites for at least 6 months... yet no buyers... Hmmmmmmm

I will go with Skline to look if you need....

I will also tell you that if it was a great deal... I woulda bought it.

It was the sellers understanding of what he had is what made me uncomforatable. He has no clue about 914s.. yet he had it built... HHhmmmm...

Whatever ya need. I will look if ya need....
