Hello all,
I am a new member so take it easy on me! I just pulled this car out of a garage about a month ago. This is an original 1973 2.0L 914. The Vin number matches, color code and engine number as well. I just bought this off the second owner who hasn't driven it since 1986 where it sat in his garage untouched. I towed it home put on some tires, some new shocks,battery, fresh gas and checked the oil. I drove it to work the next day and put 70 miles on it. Everything works on the car and i am enjoying every second i get to drive her. I live in southern California and looking for a good mechanic to go through the motor a little better after sitting for so long. Oh ya, I have to say this car has been a true Southern California (OG) garage queen, when I say no rust there is no rust and this including rockers and hell hole!!

Nice find!! First thing is the fuel lines. If you still have the plastic fuel lines get rid of them. Fuel fires are the worst with these cars. Next is the brakes. Buy a Haynes a manual and enjoy!! They are great cars!! |
