WTB: 914 roller or project NorCal Options

[pencap914]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a solid roller with minimal rust with the idea of making a resto-mod/GT tribute car complete with steel haunches and an aircooled 6.

Specific year does't matter too much to me, as long as its not a 76 (California Smog...) It seems the side-shift transmissions aren't too difficult to come-by.

I know there's no such thing as a "rust free" car. I don't mind doing the typical hell hole repair, or a section of floor pan. I'm no expert shop owner with extensive experience with sheetmetal fabrication, just a guy with a welder and (half) of a garage.

I had a 74 914 as my first car in Highschool in 2003, then had to sell it in 2007. I'm interested in getting back into another project so let me know if you have something or know of anyone that may be interested in selling a project car! I live north of Sacramento, CA so the closer to Northern California the better.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum @pencap914

I have a couple 914 projects.

'74 roller, excellent overall condition but needs hell hole repair (have the panels already). No engine/trans installed (although I have a good used 2.0L from Dylan that could come with). Clean CA title not fees due.

'74 running driving AZ car. Very solid, would need paint but since you are doing a build that doesn't matter. Runs, drives but is scruffy. 2.0L bottom end with 1.8 heads, 5 speed sideshifter. Clean CA title, current registration good to 2021.

'74 street legal race car, extremely solid but converted to racecar with giant (like GIANT) flares and body kit. Clean AZ title. Lots of goodies like 5 lug set up and front/rear bars and trick oil cooler set up. 2.0L dual Del's and sideshifter. No rot but looks like had a front end bump. Runs and drives fine, but inner front fender has a wrinkle.
