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! |

Congrats. That seemed like a decent price.
They all need something. I somewhat accidentally bought a BB on BAT last august. It is a solid car and I think I did ok, but starting with replacing plastic fuel lines and knowing the car had sat a lot for 20 plus years has lead to a whole lot of taking apart and putting back together with new parts. It's like pulling the thread on a sweater :-) Best of luck with yours. I love the color! Enjoy :-) |

Well, lucky for me in some ways, this is my 2nd marriage, and my car addiction came with me into the relationship. She can't argue too much with a purchase like this, but there was an eye roll or two :-) ![]() |
