Just got home with a one owner car, (green) about 65000 miles if the odometer is right. Sticker on the plate says it was last licensed in 1981. Back of the car says it's a 1.7 but I haven't checked the block for codes yet. Side shift transmission. No rust in the hell hole! Anyone up on VIN numbers? 4732900436.


Sorry had to do that. It was headed for a scrap bin tomorrow and I couldn't let that happen. Too many parts.

Duct tape and 2 x 4's maybe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)


You &^*&^!!
I read the text excitedly and then saw the pic.
You got me!
If you don't have a home for the Fuchs I'm interested;)


They won't fit my car... not sure what they are worth. Riley wants me to keep the fuchs for possible future cars but I'm not convinced. I have all four. There's a steel wheel on the other side of the car and the wheel/tire that was in the trunk even has a tire (Michelin from the period) that looks good. There's a few things I want but the engine/trans are up for grabs. Don't know yet if the engine is seized. Air filter and everthing is there, as far as I know it was running when it was parked but that's forever ago. And it was in the North Bay area, looks to me like it was sitting outside.. Did have a closed engine lid with the rain catchers intact. I think it started out white.

Can you get a photo of the paint badge with the paint code and Karmann # ? Also get engine & trans #'s when possible. There should be a bunch of good parts on there.

Patrick, I'm interested in the transmission, I need a couple of cores.
Good score, lots of good parts to harvest.

I have 3 side shift transmissions besides the one in the car I'm driving. I'd like to wind up with a spare that's got a higher final gear that's been freshend. Maybe we can work a deal....

Will do as soon as I get it off the trailer. can't get the door open, behind the wheel well on my trailer. I do know it's there though.

PS, no need to check VIN. It already tells you that it is a '73, which you already knew as it is the only year for 1.7 and sideshift.

I could be interested in the entire drivetrain if the engine turns.

What a shame. Willow green is one of my most absolute favourite colours. Ahhh, so white originally? Good windshield? Looking for an original. Surprising that there could be a ton of good parts on there.

Looks like a pretty light restoration for a Canadian car. Did I see this previously advertised at Beverly Hills Car Club?

Windshield is junk, sorry.

My first thought was Beverly Hills Car Club. HA!

I am uncertain what you want here. If you want to lower the rpms while cruising in top gear then that could be a bit of a challenge. The 914 has a fifth gear code ZD which is the highest normally available gear set. No 911 even used a gear that high. In fact, the 914/4 is actually lugging the engine in 5th at normal legal speeds; the choice the factory made to maximize fuel economy back in the day, but insufficient airflow to properly cool the heads it has been claimed. On the other hand, there a lot of choices below ZD available.

Guys, I just want to say it's really good to see you using the forum in this fashion - that's why it's here. I hope we can continue to field these kind of questions and responses within our own part of 914World so we can support each other in our little neck of the woods.

I'd like to take time to introduce you to the origin of my affliction, my brother-in-law Mark. Mark bought his 1973 914 in 1984 and restored it in his carport. After I drove Mark's car I had to have my own and bought my first in '87. It's been an ongoing addiction ever since. Mark's car features a 2 L rebuilt by Uli Furtmair. It is finished in the original color Bahia red and sports 5 bolt Fuchs style wheels. Dave N ( Slyder) just went over the car for Mark after sitting for 6 years. Dave P rebuilt the rear calipers. The car is now back in service and Mark is a very happy man. I hope we see Mark and all of you together soon.

Dave I don't know if you remember Patrick's silver teen, but he has a VW diesel (IIRC turbo) conversion, so his gearing choices will be quite different.

John I have those front end parts I still owe you kicking around. I know it may be a while but they're not going anywhere.

See what Mark said. The
engine I have in the car is happy at lower rpm.

The guy I bought the last one from sent m this link. Looks like two basket cases not far from Pembroke. Overpriced but who knows? Might be negotiable. I don't have the time to deal with this but maybe someone else here does.

Hi, finally have mine back from being at Mike's 914s for quite sometime.
I'm looking for a 914 mechanic in the Kitchener-Waterloo area to help with a situation where the car experiences a total loss of power while driving in 'hot' weather. Ran fine in the spring, however now that the weather has heated up, she stalls out totally? After a short wait she will run again, but has stalled out before I make it back to my driveway. Can anyone here recommend a 914 mechanic in the Kitchener area?
Here is my '72 1.7. (My second 914, my first one came out of Crosby Volkswagen in March 1972, which was destroyed on the 401 after approx 22k miles of great driving. I had been trying to replace for quite some time when I found this one at Mike's in 2018, it was a very dark green at that point. Thanks for looking, and any help will be appreciated.

Hi Gary,

You should have a look at the cylinder head temp sensor for one.

Also start reading this page and go through the diagnostic yourself.

Call Randy at Whaletail, if he doesn't work on the 914/T4 he should know of a local shop that does.
