914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Can't Believe what a '76 is selling for!

Posted by: Brian Mifsud Feb 9 2008, 08:51 PM

This thing is being sold on Ebay as "Restored".. yet the detailed photos show holes in the body.

I'm confused!

There are clearly seperatations in structural members ahead of the engine mount points if you look through all the photos.

Does this mean my '76 Native California Car with no structural problems is a mint in hiding?

It's worth what the buyer is willing to pay. I agree it has some very serious rust issues.

It's got shiny paint, ppl dig shiny paint. From the pics the rust isn't terrible, but I agree that's a lot for a Cali car that's "restored" with 100k+ miles, ugly ass seats and no real description of what's been done to the car.... NEXT

It looks like a 914 someone took somewhat appart, painted, cleaned up a few things and put back together. It looks like a nice car, but I agree the rust is probably much more extensive than the pictures show. The "restorer" didn't take off the rocker covers when the car was painted which could be bad.

Looks great, just looks like a 914 with 100k+ miles on that someone repainted, wait, it is!

i'd like to see the front trunk with the spare removed. same for the rear with the pad out. missing the fuse panel cover. muffler tip is a bit short. the rust holes shown in the picture showcasing the long seat rail supports (?) on the bottom of the pan are swell. this car is a mess. the current high bidder better hope someone comes along and bails him or her out. weird bid history.

Something else I just thought of was that only 4100 76's were made. That might bring the price up a little as well? Yeah, it's a BUB car, but production numbers are still low. Plus it's the only 914's other then real 914-6's that don't have a Type 47 sticker on them from VW.
