You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,627 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None |
I stumbled across this ad in Little Rock for a "72 914" but looking at the pics it has 74 bumpers and Bumble Bee paint scheme. Underside pic shows side shift trans. If I was closer I would go look. They are asking $700. Someone needs to go check it out and at least get the vin info and such for the database here and for Jeff's 914LE site.

The doors still open and close too. The stock injection is still there. He said the motor turns over freely but he can't get spark. Unless you have very deep pockets or can do the majority of the work yourself, I believe the value is in parting it out, and still not much to be made there IMHO.

Shoe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Parting one of these out would be a criminal act imho. I found one in far far worse condition and I plan on a full roto resto. Damn the expense or time involved. Currently between 150-160 known to exist. In terms of rarity, the individual parts aren't realy worth any more than a standard 914 (with a few exceptions). Certainly worth more (in terms of rarity) as a unit. It looks as if it's going to be saved but I'll say this here and now, if for some reason it's not going to get saved or it's slated for parting out, please contact me. I'll buy it. |
