In these times where the value of 914s has become so high as to be unreasonable, and too many fussy concours types have entered the arena restoring 914s to such a level that they are un drivable, it is so nice to see one that can actually be driven but is still nice enough for a fairly picky 914 guy like me:
1975 914 zambezi green with buckskin 1.8, original paint never rusted or crashed, gut plenty of original patina 122 thousand miles: some nicks and dings, dash cracked, first gear scratches, rear springs are sagging a bit, needs some shifter bushings, but just runs so great with the 1.8 afc fuel injection and heavier bumpers that make it feel more stable. The blaupunkt am fm isn't bad either! My new driver! NOW I do not need to worry about a door ding More 914s like this encourage people to drive them every day and not put them away under flannel car covers.   |

As it's your new driver it really needs a A+ used dash top out of your stash. Nothing too 'new' looking. What's behind the rockers?

The original dash only has one crack in it so adds patina to the car. Came with one of those new reproduction Stoddard factory look dashes, but am not going to install it. The rockers and jack posts are as clean as can be but the previous owner removed the original steel covers because they were dented, so I am going to paint two and install steel covers again. Just a few things to make the car better while keeping the patina.
If anyone has driven a fuel injected 1.8 they know that they are much smoother than the old MPC 1.7 and 2.0 systems and MUCH less complicated.
