The sign said it's a '74 for $999.99 and it "runs great" so the sign says

Anyone local recognize it?

Another pic of the back.....

Umm, it's white. Most likely a 1.8....FUGLEE Riviera wheels.... almost missed it due to the camera angle, missing front driver side turnsignal....

Gud starter '14.....I know guys that have parts.....

Maybe a dancer should swing by and borrow the car the weekend of RRC, that way her mechanic could check out the car and advise her on whether to purchase or not ......................

(and next time keep your finger off the camera phone lense)

I've been thinking this morning... most women are a little more concerned about "performance" than the men are led to (or want to) believe.

That being said, I'm concerned that the 4 may not be enough for you. Sure, sure... they all work and you can get by with 4 but will it make you happy? Jake seems to be the only person out there openly promoting 4's. He's even been so bold as to announce that his 4 is "Massive". Hey, hats off to the guy... I'm not sure if the ladies would agree but, it seems he's comfortable with what he has and, that's a good thing.

On the other hand, it seems like 6 is the average for performance. Even here though, some boast about having a "Big-6" (I don't know how that works but... I'd imagine the pistons are "wider"). You may be happier with a 6 or even a Big-6.

Now... a few of the lucky gents around here have 8's and from what I understand, they really perform (the good Dr. Porsche had a flat 8. I have an old straight 8 but it doesn't fit very well in teeners). There may be a weight disadvantage and others would argue that a Big-6 might perform as well or better but, I think at that point, it's all in the driver. If you find a good driver that knows how to perform with 6 he might very well give an 8 guy a run for his money...

Hook up with a good driver with an 8 and that's a whole new story!

Just thought I'd share that with you before you made any long term decisions. We want you to be happy with your purchase.

P.S. There are some guys out there with 10's and 12's but they generally don't "hang" around this crowd.

Buy it unless it's just a pile of rust. $1k seems like a good deal for a running/driving 914.

Posted by: skline Aug 14 2006, 10:00 AM

I agree, if I had the money I would be all over it. Too many expenses right now to even consider it. Isn't that how it always is?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Aug 14 2006, 10:59 AM

no.. not really (in my best mike myers doctor evil voice)

rear is a 74 - has titty holes covered with screws...

front is worth a few c notes....

but not a 1k pair

My wife says she's always been pleased with my 4. it's not as long as a 6, but she says it's plenty strong, bigger displacement than most 4's.
The car looks like a good deal, get it checked out first.
I say you buy!

Posted by: Root_Werks Aug 15 2006, 09:48 AM

So Mrs. K, you going to go look at this 914?

Posted by: bondo Aug 15 2006, 10:06 AM

Maybe it's a valence/rocker color changed (and wheel changed) grasshopper!

Posted by: GWN7 Aug 15 2006, 10:32 AM

Buy it Mrs. K....be miserable like the rest of us......ok like some of us

Just think...you can go shopping for jackstands next

Posted by: Root_Werks Aug 15 2006, 03:09 PM

I like my yellow ones, but to each thier own.

Posted by: cbenitah Aug 15 2006, 11:38 PM

Is there any more info about this car? To nice for me but if its there for the weekend I will give it a try.. Anyone looked at it??

Posted by: StratPlayer Aug 17 2006, 09:35 AM

Need an update on this thread. Did Mrs. K buy this car? Just wondering...

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 17 2006, 09:38 AM

No... Cris STOLE it out from underneath her!

Posted by: cbenitah Aug 17 2006, 09:52 AM

Hmm,
Stole it?

Lack of interest from Mrs. K she can always get it later, that way she can think it over a lil more

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 17 2006, 11:27 AM

Theif!

(I'm just ya...)

Posted by: cbenitah Aug 17 2006, 11:35 AM

I know..
I still need to figure out how my Swedish sarcasm/irony can show

Posted by: Mrs. K Sep 11 2006, 07:25 PM

Shoot........I forgot to look at this thread because I left for Hawaii right after I posted it........then came home and had my knee surgery.

I am able to drive now, and I haven't seen it where it was when I found it.

Did any locals go check it out?

I noticed a lot of body rust on the rear trunk lid and I wanted to look at the "hell hole" but my daughter thought I was nuts for even taking pics of it


Anyway.........won't prevent me from going to RRC

That way I can check out the 4's, 6's, "BIG-6's" and then..........what was Salmon boy talking about......" Hook up with a good driver with an 8 and that's a whole new story!"........mmmmmmm
