Rust Free 1974 914 Rolling Shell, Sacramento Area Non-Op Sold Options

[nimblemotorsports]

I bought this car many years ago to make it a racecar, but nothing was ever done with it, and now I must downsize my project cars collection.
The car is rust free, even the hell hole looks good from what I can tell.
I put it on FM since it allows all the pictures. I'll see how many I can post here. well ok I can post one here..
I have the clean california title, and its on a non-op with the dmv.

The wife wants it out of the driveway! its where she parks her newish car, her BMW Z4 parked on the street got totalled, so we widened the driveway to fit 3 cars and now my junk is taking up the space. please help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

We are not dicking with you. If you are willing to do the work, I would put a water-cooled Eng in it and you will end up with a nice glass flared car with say a SBC with a 901 factory trans and if you do the work yourself you will end up with a nice car that if you want to sell you should be able to find a home for it. As you are in CA the smog is a huge deal but it is not a 76 so that will not matter. Kent has a huge amount of info on putting H2O cooled Engen’s in 914’s You will spend less money to finish it and it will sell if you do it well.

I had a 74 283 SBC (cam, headers, Maybe 200hp) with glass flares with 916 nose and back bumper a 901 trans and an aluminum Corvette radiator that I bought from a lead guitarist (Johnny) for Earth, Wind and Fire. This was back in 1979 $3,200 with parts.
All I had to do was put all the pieces back on the car and prep the body for paint and get it ready for painting. Maaco paint and body did one of their best bk paint job on it and I tipped the guy spraying it before the job. Me and one of my guys at my shop prepped it and the car came out really nice. This car was so much fun except that it got very hot in the interior compartment as I lived in the San Fernando Vally in Los Angeles.

If you have the skill set to do this work (and it is really not that hard) you can end up with a very nice car that will impress you and if done well, you can resell for some decent money at some point.

Good luck.
