I hate those wheels!

Rand, you need a second car!

Posted by: Root_Werks Jan 19 2006, 08:46 AM

Even if it needs hell hole repairing, that is a good deal. Crap, I just bought a project 914 too just 2 days ago. Wonder if the wife will let me have another one?

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 19 2006, 09:36 AM

I have the black 72 in the garage with the Westy blocking the driveway sooo I'm full up. Damn!

Posted by: Pugbug Jan 19 2006, 09:46 AM

Damn...I should look into it myself....I wonder what red tape is involved to get it into Canada?
I need another project like I need a hole in the head....I would have to get rid of the 79 beetle vert.

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 19 2006, 10:05 AM

Anybody know if its a 2.0L or a 1.8L??

Geoff, I've been thinking about it. I doubt it would need any more rust repair than my black car did! Couldn't go wrong at that price for sure.

I emailed the guy hoping to at least take a look at it and report back here. If I see it I'll take photos of the key areas.

If someone here is already planning on buying, let me know and I'll stay out of the way.

OH MAN Orange plaid seats!!
I just might need a fourth piece of lawn art!

1.8

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 19 2006, 01:23 PM

Shit, I should buy it just for the seats alone! I would trade my black leather seats for the orange plaid!

Posted by: Root_Werks Jan 19 2006, 03:17 PM

Last time something like this happened it was for a $900 74 914 2.0. I begged and pleeded with someone else to buy it. Same thing, hadn't run in years. No one would buy it, so I finally wound up nabbing it for $700. Brought it home, put a fresh battery in it and it ran great. Replaced a few dried out hoses here and there and sold it for $2k to a member on the club on the East coast.

Please don't make be buy another one. I have enough sitting in my garage/driveway already.

Posted by: rjames Jan 19 2006, 03:39 PM

I just emailed him to try and set up a time to look at it as it's apparently right in my neighborhood. If it turns out to be a parts car I'd be interested in going in on it with another local member...

Posted by: boxstr Jan 19 2006, 07:00 PM

I emailed the seller yesterday right after he posted and have yet to receive a reply??

I'm sensing a theme.... I emailed him yesterday and haven't had an email or phone reply.

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 19 2006, 07:15 PM

Like the black 72 Blair bought.....The guy posts ads everywhere and leaves town for a week. DUH! We lucked out that he called back later on.......

Posted by: Pugbug Jan 19 2006, 07:40 PM

Hey Craig, would'ja share the pics??? Just curious popcorn[1].gif

Posted by: Rand Jan 20 2006, 11:35 PM

The pics she emailed me didn't reveal anything more than the http://seattle.craigslist.org/car/126568051.html pics, except more rust on the hood and rocker panels. Did you get anything better Craig?

I may go take a look and get some pics that will really tell us something.

She said this about the car:

QUOTE
"The car has a 1.8 liter engine and is fuel injected. It hasn't been driven in about 8 years, at which point it ran, but had an intermittant stalling problem involving a stuck air flow meter gate. Before that, it was driven daily for about 5 years. I've been told the stalling and stuck gate are commonly caused by intake backfiring due to misadjusted valves. Also, it will need a new battery."

Stuck air flow meter gate? Hmm.

Note the last three digits in the URL.
Hmmmm, why do those digits seem so familiar?

Posted by: Rand Jan 21 2006, 03:37 PM

She sold it this morning. Curious who got it? Anyone here?

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 21 2006, 04:01 PM

Posted by: dinomium Jan 21 2006, 10:40 PM

wasnt me...

Posted by: Rand Jan 21 2006, 11:01 PM

"Wadn't me!" (What movie was that again?)

I think it was Craig.... yeah, wouldn't share the photos... just says "I'm out..." Yeah...

Just kidding Craig. I'm not crying over this one. If I had bought it I would sell the seats to Geoff though.

Lets see if anyone confesses....

Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 22 2006, 12:57 AM

betcha those seats are the first thing the new owner take out and sit in the rain to rot......but I still liked em.

Posted by: rjames Jan 23 2006, 10:47 AM

Wasn't me either, I got the email and was psyched to go check it out. Sold awful quick...I'm thinking it was worth the $850 they were asking.
