Sale pending

Offering a very rust free 914 with 'glass flairs. This is a car that has been stored since 1978, it does run and drive but the brakes need work. Both front struts are the optional Bilstein green struts from a 1973 or later 914. Exceptionally nice original heat exchangers, has a progressive 2bbl carb set up on a 1.7 engine. Believed to be very low miles. Paint is a "20 footer poor" Wheels are BWE 14X6. A great, very solid early "lightweight" chassis.
The battery tray is original and the "hell hole" is solid, jack receivers nice, floors excellent. $4500

There are factory style sway bar mounts (1973 up style) front and rear. no sways. The steering rack has "bump steer" kit. The Bilsteins are not the aftermarket type, they are the real Bilstein upside down struts with the split pin at the bottom. This car needs some work, carb not great, Bursch muffler has a baffle loose in the muffler brakes poor, paint marginal. But a great starting point for a good 914 racer, auto crosser, canyon carver or weekend fun for a very low starting price.

Great deal!! I've got a nice 2.2S engine that would go nicely with this chassis

Posted by: 914ltd Sep 20 2016, 03:24 PM

The interior isn't too bad but there are some rips and snags.

Nice car Brad. How much with a reliable motor & tranny for a 17 year old heading to college:-)

Posted by: 914ltd Sep 27 2016, 07:24 PM

You could easily spend the asking price of this car in rust repairs to the average 914.

Could someone please buy this car so I don't have to think about it anymore? Please?
Bill.

Why hasn't this sold yet?

Posted by: rfuerst911sc Oct 7 2016, 10:58 AM

Is white the original color ? I may be interested .

Posted by: 914ltd Oct 7 2016, 04:32 PM

It is a white, L80E car. I am waiting on payment from a FL. buyer. I hope he doesn't get blown away. Brad

Posted by: 914ltd Oct 10 2016, 01:58 PM

Again for sale, yes, the car was white.

No, it wouldn't make a good car for a 17 year old. Please get a few years experience in a car with air bags and ABS brakes.

The latest prospect couldn't justify the cost of shipping.

Posted by: mepstein Oct 10 2016, 03:38 PM

That's silly, the cost of rust repair ads up much quicker.

Posted by: wingnut86 Oct 10 2016, 06:28 PM

...definately more than a Ski, Bum...

Posted by: euro911 Oct 11 2016, 03:03 AM

FUCH ... I don't have room for any more cars, not to mention that my wife would beat me to a pulp if I even suggested ... 'another car'

... but damn ... that's a really good deal, even with the transportation cost to the west coast.

I even have a spare '6' sitting here


















CRAP ... I'm out

Posted by: daytona Oct 11 2016, 02:33 PM

I am losing sleep over this car, but my wife said she would neuter me if I bought another car.
So the question is: At this point in my life; do I really need my nuts???
And, if I trade stuff? does that count as another purchase?
Bill.

Brad the seller that backed out was he from Florida ? I am in GA. so I would think the shipping would be aprox. the same , by chance do you know what the shipping quote was ?

Posted by: 914ltd Nov 2 2016, 10:03 AM

I'll include some extra parts to get you in the drivers seat sooner and cheaper.

VERY SOLID 914!

Posted by: blackmoon Nov 2 2016, 10:49 AM

if I had more garage space I would buy this car

Posted by: 914ltd Nov 2 2016, 11:13 AM

I believe it was around $1000. I don't know what shippers he dealt with. Too bad it is not spring, the "snow bird flow" makes for cheaper transport in that direction.

Posted by: jbyron Nov 3 2016, 01:47 PM

Brad, Please hit me back on my last PM when you have a moment.

Thanks,

Jamie

Bump

Posted by: 914ltd Nov 27 2016, 06:07 PM

I have replaced the rattle box muffler with a nice sounding replacement.
Carb work, it runs better. $4500. Firm but a great price!

Posted by: 914runnow Nov 30 2016, 03:47 PM

I spent 4250.00 at the metal surgeon here in town..and another 250.00 for blasting..
BTW that was not floors either..the normal spots....of course the metal surgeon is xlnt work but pricey..still boils down to 4500.00.....oh and hi Brad!!
