A 1972 914, with a 3.2 liter and flares. It's on the Canada Trader site. Looks pretty nice, and $17,000 seems like a pretty good deal. Here's the link.

Hmm, if I were to sell the Audi and the 914...
I'm half tempted to drive to Calgary just to check it out.

Shhhh, don't tell them Americans. We've got to keep all the 914s we can in Canada.

If it is the car I think it is, do it, if you can. It took about 50 grand to build back in the day. I can look into it further if you like.

There was a yellow 3.2 914 for sale here last year that the owner was asking $24000 for. I was told it's a quick little car. Sounds like a deal at $17000.

Mike: Instead of driving you could fly Westjet for cheap. I would even offer to put you up for a few days. That way if you buy the car you could drive it home. If I had the extra $17K sitting around and didn't already have 5 cars I would be very tempted. I think it would make a great autocross machine.

Had the lap record at kart gardens.

I just spoke with the guy and it is the car that I remember being for sale last year. The current owner had it for 5 years and bought it off a father/son team that wanted to autocross and hill climb it. The car originally came from California. It has all 911 suspension and he said that the conversion was done by Vellios.

Not the same car i was thinking about then. Looks nice all the same.

Ya, I've already got 4 cars, and cash is a bit of a problem right now. If I could afford it, I'd be all over it, and thanks for the offer of a place to stay. If you talked with the guy, what else can you tell me about the car? Are the flares steel or fibreglass? How much rust, etc? I was thinking about giving him a call, just for shits and giggles. Hmmm, if I sold my 914, then went to the bank...

Ahh, I better not even think about this, it's just going to get me into trouble.

I didn't keep that number. I wish I had! That's something that would really be worth trying to buy. That one in Ont sounds pretty good too. Any pics?

Soloracer, if you find the guys number, could you let me know too. I'm going to be in Calgary at the end of March. I better start saving!
