The engine looks and runs well. The top of the engine is very clean and all fuel hoses have been changed including steel lines through the cabin.

The bottom of the engine looks normal with some oil residue. Nothing to be concerned about.

The heating system is not complete. The booster fan is missing the tubes and one flapper valve is missing. To me these are minor items that can be purchased at minimal cost. The heat exchangers look to be in very good condition.

The bursch muffler gives the engine a real nice throaty sound.

The engine ran great. We started it twice, separated by about 1/2 hour. Tom started the car at first.

The engine starts up quickly. It took about 1/2 revolution on the crank before the engine fired up and ran steady at 1000 RPM. Very nice sound.

We fired it up later for a test ride, again, it started up quickly and ran well.

The engine ran great and revved up to 5k with no issues. The 2L pulled hard as 2L's do. What a difference between the 1.7L and the 2L. I really miss driving the 2L.

Engine revvs good, no backfires when slowing down.

The handling of the car was good too. You can feel how solid the car is when driving it. No rattles or shaking. The drive was taken with the top off of course.

This car is a lot of fun to drive.

The interior is in very good condition. There are no cracks on the dash and no rips on the seats.

The AC unit does function. It didn't blow cold but did blow luke cool. But everything worked electrically. You can hear the compressor kick on and the air blows pretty good on the unit in the interior. Might just need recharged.

The seal around the windshield is ok, not in great shape. It doesn't need replaced but could be for that perfect look.

My overall impression of the car is very good. This is a solid, nearly rust-free car. The battery tray looks to be the only rust needing attention. I would say this is as close to a "turn-key" (you know, turn the key and drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ) 914 as I have seen.

I forgot to mention about the test drive. The short shift kit is amazing. Going from the vague shift pattern of the stock shifter, this one was quite precise.

The transmission shifted in/out of all gears well. I shifted into first while moving and stationary with no grinding. Shifting is very good.

The short shift kit is from Weltmeister, with the plate that raises the fulcrum joint and has a different shift lever to take advantage of it. Works nicely if everything else is tight, like the cone screws, firewall bushing, and the shifter cup. Mine could use the cup replaced eventually, but everything else was tight.

Looking forward to seeing this go to a new happy home.

Thanks

Tom

Greetings!

The '76 is back on the market. Buyer ran into some financial issues and backed out.

Let's try again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Thanks

SOLD! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

The car is now safely in the hands of its new owner. Thanks, Paul!

Also, thanks to Spoke for his help, and to the other forumites who provided suggestions and encouragement through the process.

914 World rocks! I will still visit to see what is going on with projects, and of course, play in the Sandbox occasionally.

Thanks!

Tom
