Came across a 1976 2.0 with a/c I'm picking up. In the south some a/c would be really nice! I haven't laid eyes on it yet but from the pics looks reasonably "non-rusty". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Supposedly, there is something going on with the transmission that the clutch won't disengage. I'm thinking broken clutch cable. At this point who knows? Anyway, I'm getting it cheap enough and will pick up in two weeks. This is my third one...I need to stop...seriously! I have no more space.

Good score. I will add though, I have been through your sickness already and three 914's is too much unless that's all you do. I would think of selling one.

You have plenty of room if you park them right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And I might add I am jealous! For the a/c. I almost came home this week with a 20002 jag xkr! (For 10k no less!) You have the sickness and there is no cure!!!! Chris, don't sell that white one without calling me Phil |

Three Teeners! Wow, you must have it bad! Nice score! I live in the south too but A/C is too much for my 1.7 engine. Besides, that is why the top comes off!

The Jag would be nice; but, expensive. I owned one once.....or, maybe, it owned me! |

Sometimes when the car sits for a long time, the cliutch siezes to the flywheel. The only sure way to free it, is to drop the tranny. But check evertthing else first.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) .... check at the firewall & in the tunnel forward/left of the shifter - 2 most common places, & a common 914 malady.
Nice 914! I especially like the pix since my 73 2L is going back to it's original L80E & Beige interior! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Thank you for the list of things to look for. The seller is a student and doesn't have the funds to repair or restore it. I'll keep everyone posted!

It's really only a "problem" after number 5. Then the addiction has gotten a firm hold & you're a goner. I lost count many 914's ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
