Hard to tell for sure from the picture, but it looks like part of the floor pan may have been replaced by fiberglass. I’d say pass unless it’s being sold as a parts car and then it depends on the parts and price.

Very hard to tell what happened here, would be nice to get some better pictures before you rush to judgement.
However here is an example of a waste of time. We are currently in the process of reversing the butchery   Attached thumbnail(s)

There was a time when 914's were not valuable cars, so people didn't spend two or three times the fair market value (of a really good car) to keep one on the road. Guys made do on a $1200 car they loved.
You can call the Mayeur longitudinal kit "butchery" but it saved a whole bunch of cars, economically. I've put them on two performance cars, at the request of the owners, and they really do substantially stiffen the car. Truth be told though, not my first choice. |
