Today as I was driving around town I saw a black 1975 914 for sale on a small used car lot.
The dealer has no idea what he has. He thought it was a 1971 911!!! He said that it is owned by the Weseloh family. Weseloh owns a large Chevy delarship here, and I believe some other dealerships as well. He says he is selling it on consignment for Weseloh, and Weseloh wants 22K. (Obviously, he is dreaming. I think it's a 5-6K car, maybe, tops). I checked the car out... pretty bad, but someone here may find it of interest. I didn't start the car, but apparently it runs. Here's some pix. . Attached thumbnail(s)

I had a good conversation with the dealer, showed him all the key items regarding the car, told him what year and model it is, showed him how to take the targa off (he didn't even know the top came off), etc. Hah, wait 'til he needs to fill it up and can't find the fuel filler!
I also told him that there was absolutely zero chance the car would sell for 22k or anywhere near that. He was just spouting the number given to him by the seller. Here's some obvious issues: - I have no idea what motor is in it. - The carb conversion looks to be poorly done. -Paint is OK at best - Interior recover is OK at best - Dash has one of those plastic covers, so I assume is cracked beneath - Front turn signal lenses have been replaced with cheap aftermarket - Battery in trunk - Home-fabricated rocker panels - Targa top sanded smooth and painted, and done poorly - I found a bunch of receipts in the glove box for rust repair in 1995. Hard to tell what may have been painted over or otherwise covered up. -Note the door pulls. Second 914 I have seen this week with kitchen drawer pulls. When did that mod become popular? This car will be a nightmare for most buyers, but maybe someone who is looking to play around with it might want it for the right price, or for misc parts. Curious, what do you guys think it's worth? We have a vote for 3k from Mepstein. I see 600 to 800 for the wheels. Blaupunkt radio is worth maybe $100. Tail lenses - $100. Rhody, you seem to be the King of Salvage... what else on this car? |
