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. |

Just read your thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Makes me feel guilty. My '73 came from a guy that motioned me over on his MC. I was in my 76 and he asked if I wanted to buy his stored 914. I offered $800 and he accepted.

He said his boss has one, said it's been sitting for 7 years and needs to get rid of it. Said he's asking $1000. Said it's sitting in "the shop" and needs to make room for the work truck. I'm expecting the worst, but one never knows. My soap opera continues...stay tuned! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
