I have a 73 914 2.0 I'm going to be selling very soon. I bought the car when I had high hopes of replicating the 914 my dad gave me as a first car, and giving it to him as a gift. I realized after having twins that this was never going to happen, and bought a restored 914 for him instead.

The car is not running. Was parked in the desert a long time. The guy I got it from said he got it to crank but never got it running. Car is complete (trim, interior, top, fog lights, center console...) needs a complete restoration. Has webers, no fuel injection parts. Body is mostly straight and mostly rust-free (rear trunk has some holes, battery tray is rusty). Car was originally yellow, now black, needing full respray. GA engine code, number scratched off. I'll throw in a set of vintage Minilites. Price is $2000. Clean title, non-op, with CA blue plates.

I'll get photos up next week. Trying to gauge interest.

EDIT:
Weridness in the trunk area (as pointed out by an interested party) leads me to believe this car had a front impact sometime in it's life. Sale is off for now while I figure out what I want to do.

Pm sent

Okay, lots of interest. I'll respond in the order received.

I have my work cut out for me this weekend - I'll get it cleaned up and shoot some photos this weekend, update the ad next week. It is very dirty (sitting in the desert a long time) and on 3 steel wheels and 1 fuch.

If the other guys don't buy it let me know. I'm right next to you in La Costa. Would love to take a look. Thanks so much!

Sorry fellas, super busy at work today. I have photos, I'll be uploading shortly.
Thanks to anybody who has reached out via PM and here in the thread. I wasn't anticipating this level of interest.

It turns out I was wrong - the paint tag indicates this car was black originally (code L041) So I imagine the parts showing yellow under the black were replacements for accident damage.
Also - A rodent has made a home behind the seat pad. It looks old, but I'll have to clean that out.
I'll get photos of the underside tomorrow. It was wet after cleaning the car and I didn't get a chance this morning.

The car is also a ‘74

Thanks Doug - Looking at the VIN, you are correct.
Here are photos of the underside, the rust-prone spots. I'll pull the rockers and update with photos when I can.

Also - If I get to keep the Minilite wheels I'll let the interested parties know, if they pass I'll post an ad. Follmer license plate frames are staying with me.
