New to the forum and the car. Was pointed to it by an aficionado on The Samba— I have a ‘59 Karmann Ghia. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=723793
He suggested that the people on this forum were the brain trust for all things 914 and that I should vet one here that has caught my eye on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-914-113/ Any insight would be appreciated! |

Car officially bought and paid for, booked pickup/delivery!
Let the games begin. So, as the big west coast shows are on, delivery is going to be a bit slower than usual. That said, would love to start discussing what I should do when it arrives. It seems to be in decent driving shape so, yeah, will be posting driving videos sooner rather than later. But I want to make sure the car is safe. One thing that is already causing me the heebie jeebies is the thought of half century old plastic fuel lines. Yikes! Try as I might I can not figure out if this has been addressed or not in the car by the photos provided. Can anyone help me determine this? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-914-113/ |

I suggest that you will want some heat/defrost during winter on the east coast! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

I used the defrost this morning here in sunny Buffalo |
