I need to clearly step down from my admin position for a minute. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Here goes. QUOTE Another one seriously pretended that a 1972 1.7 914 is fun????? I guess I'm seriously pretending. I'm looking at a 72 1.7 right now. A nice clean 72 1.7 can be a heck of a lot of fun. Does it have a /6 in the back? No, but that doesn't mean that it can't be a cool daily driver. Who are you to crap on someone else's cars? QUOTE Brad, be serious. There was a time when real sixes were out of touch and asking 15-20K, remember? Then why the hell have they come down under 10K???? Because their wimpy 2.0L maybe? Because they are getting as rusted as the /4s??? And as JP Stein mentionned, what do you do with it after?? -The 914 is the one subject that Brad is always serious about. Why have they come down? The same reason that you can get a mortgage for a pittance: ebb and flow of the economy. -Rusted /4s? Unless I'm mistaken, your (914/4) chassis was built in the 70s, too, and has the same tendencies towards rust issues. In general, the original /6s were better taken care of over the years. -I'll take my "wimpy" 2.0/6 over some half-assembled, thermal reactor cooked 2.7 with unknown pedigree, thank you. You probably have a good deal going... but your attitude sucks. Get off your high horse... you're SELLING your 914. Don't attack others who are currently enjoying theirs. Good luck selling your pile of parts. You can use the money to buy a Mustang or Vette, which you obviously should be driving. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
