You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,627 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None |
Yes, brought another one home. I had this deal worked out a while ago, but didn't have space to keep it until now. Yes, its a parts car with some nice parts. It is 4712909198 and was last plated in 1977.I don't know why it wasn't after that. The odo shows 74159 miles which I would believe to be original.
This 914 was sold last year from car auction to the guy I bought it from. Of course he never titled it in his name. So title still has last owners name on it. I found an old registration from 1973 and it has the same name as the owner that sold it via the auction company. Kind of cool I think. Also had original owners manual & the 4page install manual for the Motorola radio. I was amazed they were not eaten up by mice. Anyway I think I am going to write the past owner a short letter asking for some history on the car. I really like finding these cars (parts cars & project cars) kind of like Indiana Jones of 914 only with out the people chasing me.

You said "didn't have space to keep it until now." Wow! By the looks of your garage you still don't have space. You look like a 914 hoarder like some members on this forum. Your wife must be very understanding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Yes, I am very lucky to have a wife that understands my sickness. Only rule is she must be able to park her car in the garage and she can. She has the rest of the house to do what she wants the garage (and shed) are mine. |

It is a good problem to have however! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

What I can't work out is how a car can be left to deteriorate like that having been driven for just 6 years. It has to have been just left outside for a big chunk of the time since and let go. Why do people do that?

Not always. The yellow 73 in the back ground was a unfinished project car I bought last fall. Hopefully by the end of June I will be done with it and have a nice runner for sale. Also my blue 73 was a non runner last year. It had not been on the road in about 5 years. I now drive it everyday that I can. |
