914World.com _ 914World Garage _ This is what a $250 914 in Florida
Posted by: URY914 Jun 6 2005, 06:47 PM
I found this in the Samba classified and since it was in Florida I desided to buy it.
This is what happens to a 'teener when you leave it sitting in the back yard in South Florida for a few years. The first picture was with the ad on Samba. So it has 916 bumpers and a good windshield.
28 year old German sheetmetal + semi-tropic climate=RUST

This is the second pic that was with the ad.
So it has a rear 916 bumper and a really cool l/plate, good lenses and the filler lense.

The interior shot showed a cool s/w and a console, From these items alone I figure I could get my money out of it.

So I headed out to West Palm Beach and found the car had been pulled out into the front yard. All four tires were flat. Luckly I have an electric winch on my trailer. Pulled it up and loaded the loose parts in my truck.
BTW, one of the loose pieces was the engine, a 1.7.

Is the rear bumper fiberglass? If so, let me know if you want to get rid of it.

Are you parting it? I have needs, hook a brother up man. C'mon, I need a fix 
Posted by: URY914 Jun 6 2005, 07:03 PM
And what about this sweet steering wheel. It dosen't say MOMO on it but it does say "Made in Italy" It is in very good shape and with the hub of course.

That was all the good stuff and I will be parting it out so hang in there.

Let start with just behind the right front tire. That s BIG hole.

Do you think this is a problem.....

I for got the box-o-parts shot.
Those brake shoes are for the very rare drum brake 914's that were built just before the grasshoppers.

not the first one, but the second, yes.
Posted by: URY914 Jun 6 2005, 07:38 PM
Do you think there is anything on that engine besides the heads and case worth saving?
All the FI system is shot. Is the sheetmetal worth saving?
Posted by: URY914 Jun 6 2005, 07:41 PM
Tranny is a tail shifter but I'll keep it.
Rear shocks are orange but don't have Koni stickers.
I'm already getting PM'd for parts.

My steering wheel is covered in duct tape.
Help a brother out.
Oops... I meant to say...
That steering wheel looks way heavy but would look good in my Buick. Yeah. That's it.

Jeez. I need to take pictures of my $100 Montana 914. I have less rust but I didn't get an engine with it.

Paul,
That s/w by looking at the 6 screw holddown arrangement is either a Nardi,or a Personal wheel.
Both were in fact made by Nardi.
What that means, is that the adaptor hub behind it is a real goodie to have because,it it ultra rare.
and I think no longer made.A real good piece to have.
The one on my six took some time to find and when I did,it came to me as an old item never sold by a retailer.

What I liked was the brake shoes... What the hell are those off of? Did you get any antifreeze to go with it too or an extra radiator, or water pump?
Posted by: xsboost90 Jun 7 2005, 05:36 AM
how much for the junk motor, i wanna make a coffie table!
Posted by: spare time toys Jun 7 2005, 05:47 AM
In the photo of the dash showing the wheel still installed it looks to have a ultra rare 914world.com aluminum pedal board could that be?????

Sorry, no.
Posted by: URY914 Jun 7 2005, 06:57 AM
I forgot a few more facts.
Good things:
The front A-arms have tabs for the sway bar mounts.
The front trunk floor looks good from the inside.
Bad things:
There was a mouse in the front trunk up by the gas tank.
The rear trunk has the carpet still in it. There was grass or something sprouting out of it.
PM me if you see anything you my want. (Sorry, the mouse ran off)
Paul
