Tell them $3,500 for it as a roller. Or tell them more and let them work their way down to $3,000

They cost more here than where all these lucky fools come from.

Make sure your insurance guy takes that into account.

Redshift. That is a very good point. Since I have (or had) the only running 914 on the Gulf Coast. I think it should be concidered I was planning that trip to PAC NOR WEST to get a good teener. $1000.00 bucks in just transport. I got the 74 from a guy in Cleveland OH.

Anyone remember The guy that moved to New Orleans with a 2.0L and a 2.7 / 6 ? He sold the 2.0L for 5 grand. and the 6 for 16K.

If it helps your case any, last year I bought a nice color change 74 roller with cleanish original interior and none of the extra stuff you have in that list for $2500 + shipping, at the time more than you said.

Lower that front end already!

REALLY? I was thinking of raising the back! speed bumps are hitting the exhaust.

Yes, you need to adjust your front by adjusting the torsion bars.

Okay already. How difficult is it? What do I need to do?

Posted by: Joe Ricard Nov 26 2003, 07:03 AM

Bet your car gets real squirrely at speed. Florida, Hmm, technically Gulf Coast. If you lower the front end the tail pipes will actually gain ground clearance.

So where did you get your red 914? what ya got in it or on it. What do you think it is worth. I was getting farther from stock all the time.

"Yellow cars may be faster but, Metallic blue L96b is just plain cool.

This broad definition includes motor vehicles used on public roads, antique cars, vehicles in "dead storage" and off-road reccreational vehicles.

This is the book used to define policies and their coverage intent. Unless the teener had a lawn mower blade hanging under it.... Hummmm....

This is not intended to be used for anything other than entertainment, this is not advise. bla bla bla

1. Turn the two bolts on the ends of your torsion bars.
2. Get (and install) a bump steer kit.
3. Head for the alignment shop.

In that order

Less than 1/2 hour...

Look at all of you guys on the gulf coast. I guess I should have announced my vacation a few weeks back. The wife and I stayed in Pensacola and drove out to New Orleans and spent a night. Another trip into 'Bama and back too.

I found this car in south Florida about 6 years ago.Originally it was white,po had started to paint it red. So I finished it in `77 Porsche guards red.The engine is a 2.0 w/ a few tweeks,and a side shift from a `73. And its worth to much to sell anytime soon. And red cars look fast just sitting there!

I guess a get together is in order then. Since I am in the middle I will sponsor it. We can make it a "take what you want off my car party" Got the suspension console it comes with the rest of car. All I want is the FUCHS and my aluminum front suspension belly pan and turbo tie rods. Don't know if my yellow car has them or not.
