914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Found a nice one today

Posted by: vsg914 Feb 26 2004, 07:24 PM

Got a call this morning about a 74 for sale. My excitement grew on the trip there, but alas, no LE.
What I did find was just as exciting. A 74 2.0. Seems to be very clean with some proper restoration work done. Looked in all the suspect places that I could from the top and found no rust. Tar is gone from floors, with nice grey paint. It's been repainted the original signal orange. It's sitting in a tow truck drivers front yard way out in the sticks. Looks to be a very solid car with only a few missing parts. Passengers door panel, and both valances. Interior is black, seats are tan. Talked to the owner. He bought it in an auction from a DEA bust locally. He's coming to my shop tomorrow, and looks like I might get the car to check it out, get it out of the weather, and help him sell it. If I get it here I'll pull the rockers, put in on jackstands and give it a good goin over. We have 12 pics on the way, so be patient. Some are small and a few are large to show some detail. This car will be for sale. I have two locals interested, but if they don't want it, I'll post it here first. Please pick the car apart as we always do.

Passenger exterior. lines are very straight.

Buy it. Looks like a decent clean car. Has it been hit in the front or rear 15 times ?

Blacked out chrome?

Firewall pad removed and painted. Look like it has been gone thorugh at the very least

Posted by: vsg914 Feb 26 2004, 08:01 PM

Yes, I think it has been gone through by someone with some knowledge.

Brad, I can't afford the ones I have, but If I did, this would be one I'd keep. I see very little work for a daily driver so far.

That looks like a decent car. Do you know the asking price? Anyone around here looking should at least consider that one.

Posted by: vsg914 Feb 26 2004, 08:46 PM

Sean, so far it looks a very decent car. I'll know more about the price tomorrow after meeting with the owner. I see a lot of shit for sale. This is the nicest one I've seen in a while.

More tomorrow
