I have a possible opportunity to acquire a 1971 914.
Is there anything other than rust that I need to be concerned about with the 71? This particular car has the shift linkage disassembled because a mechanic was going to replace some bushings but left the seller high and dry after taking it apart. This isn't my ideal 914. It's a non-appearance version, so no chrome bumpers, no chrome trim, no sail vinyl. I don't mind the steel wheels with the "nipple" caps. Not a fan of the fixed passenger seat or the tail shift transmission. Also it's my least favorite color for a 914, red. Of course over time many of these can be changed. The price is right though if the motor runs as the owner says and is as solid as the owner states. |

I changed the title to this topic because it is becoming an ongoing story in a way.
I've had a running WTB ad locally on craigslist, perhaps some of you have come across it in your 914 searches. This morning for the first time since I started running the ad I was contacted by a lady that has a 1974 2.0L that she has owned for 31 years. It has apparently been sitting for the last 2 years. For me, this is the ideal model. I'm waiting to hear back from her with more information and hopefully a few pictures. Then we'll have to see where she's at on a price. At least she is somewhat close by making it easy to go look at. If this search ever ends, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my days. Oh probably search for parts...lol. |

It's great having a lead that isn't advertised. Let's you make a considered decision without the pressure of competition. |
