Hi all. An old H.S. buddy living in the Colorado Springs area is interested in 914's and is looking at them for the first time. He found one on craigs list, and wants to know if it is good deal. I am in FL and can't do a PPI for him. I have referred him to this board, and given him a few descriptions about what he should watch out for, but there is nothing like having it shown to you in person. Is there anyone in his area that could introduce him to the problem areas to look for when purchasing a teener?


Thanks,
Jim

I'm on the North side of Denver, a bit far. But he can contact me at mikeferg75 (at) hotmail.com I may know the car.

If not I know of a good one that is for sale, but just not quite on the market yet.

Kinda weird that my buddy's name is Mike, and both of the guys from CO that responded are also named Mike. Must be something in the water out there.



Thanks for the help guys.

Yeah, a lot of us out here.

I can probably look at the car with your friend, but my 914-fu is no where near as good as the other Mike's out here. (actually he could probably look at my car for good examples of things to avoid )

Ferg,

I'm the nubie in Colorado Springs looking to possibly purchase a 914. I found one on eBay, that perhaps you might know something about. The car is located in Elizabeth, CO in Elbert County. Check out the link:

Also, if you know of one for sale, that would be great as well. Thanks for the help.

I half expected Mike Pieper to speak up too.... Move to the Western Slope, we have more than one name over here.

My name's not Mike...

Hmm, but my 914 isn't running, so I guess I don't count...

Guess I'll have to change my name if I ever want to get my car running again huh?

I know Grant, the seller, he is a stand up guy, He's got two cars for sale, this is the one I have not seen, I've seen his other race car.

Sending you a PM.

Hey Mike, now that you are in the club doing the posting for yourself I'll wait until there is a thread where more than just Mikes are posting. :-)

Good luck on the bidding. The car you picked looks really close to mine, a '76 yellow 914.

Thanks Jim. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help.

A little bit of advice. On this forum, never go into the Sandbox, and especially stay away from the Hot Chicks thread.

For your own good.
