I met a guy at a local Air Cooled VW Club meeting a few years back. He was an older guy who said he had a 914 in his garage and had never drove it. He asked for my contact info and if I ever worked on them. 2 years later I get a call from him asking if I could come look at the car. I grabbed a buddy and we headed over. When we arrived we saw several cars under tarps and I thought this thing was going to need a lot of work being an East Coast car. We we to a garage out back and there it was.... A 1972 local owned, zero rust car. He bought it from an estate sale 8 years ago. After chatting a bit I discovered he wanted to sell the car. After a little negotiating with house CEO and the pending Sale of my Mini S, I now own another 914. It felt like something out of American Pickers and I'm honored to have been able to buy this car. It has a re-spray but is very original with owners manual and tool pouch. I hope to bond with it this weekend and get it going. Any feedback or comments are appreciated.

Jon

If it is actually zero or little rust, that is a great find! Love the steelies- looks like a time warp for sure!

Need more pix!!

And the East Coast crowd goes wild!!!

Nice score, and yet....you won't be able to lie awake at nights wondering where the rust worm is attacking your car while you sleep. That's most of the "fun" of owning a teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Congrats.
