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. |

Another opportunity thanks to my CL WTB ad.
It's local, a 75 1.8L w/FI in ancona blue. Owner was just thinking of selling it when he saw my ad. I spoke with him for about a half hour on the phone. It was rusty when he bought it and had the rust repaired and repainted it. He's been semi daily driving it when the weather allows for the last 20 years. Back in the early 2000s he had the motor and transmission rebuilt. It's still in winter storage and he will send me pics next week when he gets it out and then I'll probably go look at it. He's unsure of the value but he wants it to go to a good home and I think we might be able to work something out. Fingers crossed... |
