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. |

So I was searching craigslist and ran across a nice looking '76 2.0L with 911 5 lug conversion for $5K. Listing was up for about 45 minutes so I emailed the seller. I instantly get a response from craigslist that the listing was deleted. Either it sold that quickly or the seller pulled it because of all the responses and will raise the price. This would have been almost ideal even thought it was in Cali.
Oh well, I'll keep searching everywhere, lol. |

Make sure any 5 lug converted car was not done with bolt on spacers |

The seller in this case said the conversion was done with 911 parts for whatever that's worth. |
