914World.com _ 914World Garage _ which car??
Posted by: grasshopper Jul 8 2005, 07:23 PM
ok, my dad says i can get one of these cars. The price is within my budget too 
which one do you think would be best?? I already have a second one that should arrive next week, and i want to restore it back to original condition. I was thinking a AX/DE car. I kinda liked the look of the orange 75, looks straight and no sagging. Definetly not the 74 2.0, the rear suspension console has broken, the wheel is at an angle. so it is basically between the two 75s...which one do you guys think is best...the yellow one has no passenger door, and is holding up quite well...that a good sign 
so here they are. Which one??http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7985617331&ssPageName=MERC_BC_ReBay_Pr3_PcY_BID_W0 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7985618533&ssPageName=MERC_BC_ReBay_Pr3_PcY_BID_W0 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7985619861&ssPageName=MERC_BC_ReBay_Pr3_PcY_BID_W0

I say the Orange '75. If it held up to having Cindy on the front hood and Emily on the rear deck it must be sound.

What's wrong with the white '74? It just suffers from some "typical rust problems"

Agreed.... looks like the orange one is a better starting project...... less body work..... although it looks like it may need a few more parts.
Thats just from a quick glimpse though

For sure take the Orange one, its got girls written all over it. You might even get laid by the time you are 18 with it.

What does West Virginia require for registration? A bill of sale may be good enough to get a new title.

I think for that kind of money you should buy all three and build a stretch limmo!
But seriously, I think Mindy is winking at you.
Sorry for the smart ass reply, just getting out of work.

If you get one of the 75's, I have both front and back bumpers that look brand new. They are yours if you pay for shipping.

ok..i have to get the yellow one. couldn't get a title, with out jumping through rings of fire. and yes scott. I will do a suby swap .......im serious 
thats what i was thinking in the first place. Wish me luck!!

if I have learned ONE thing... it's buy the best you can, the headache on fixing a car that's been put out to pasture, is so much worse... you end up spending MORE than you would on a much better car...
that said, if you have to pick one, I say the orange 75, you should be able to get a 'lost title' for it...
also, the car Made right posted LOOKS like a GREAT start!

What make you think that it will run or be better than a parts car?

how do you think you'll get one of those other heaps moving? it will cost a lot more... TRUST us on this one... those cars are fine for parts, but I doubt they will ever move on their own power again...

if nothing else there ARE some good parts on there... just bid as if it's a parts car, not a restorable roller
