I'm in the club! After searching for a few months, I located this beauty last week - 1975 1.8, numbers-matching, 50,000 documented original miles, original paint, zero rust, 2-owner (last one since '77).
I really wanted a '73-'74 2.0 in a different color...but I've always had a soft spot for orange cars too (this won't be may last purchase either!). When I found this, had it thoroughly reviewed and learned its history...at a price point I could swallow, I pulled the trigger. Less than 24 hours after delivery and I am beyond impressed! The car is in AMAZING shape - cosmetically & mechanically. The prior owner loved this car and it absolutely shows! I just need to do some fine-tuning (wheels?) to return it to completely stock and I'll have a beautiful "survivor". Thanks in advance for everyone's advice/help so far. Those of you I have connected with have been incredibly knowledgeable & supportive. Happy to be part of this awesome community! Woo Hoooooo!!!!! ![]() ![]() |

Congratulations Rick. Beautiful car and it looks like it has indeed been well loved. I agree re the wheels; a set of stock Fuchs in the stock finish would look perfect.
Good luck and I wish you many miles of smiles as you enjoy her. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

If you need a set of stock Fuchs, I'll be selling a set from my project soon, as the car is being converted to 5 lug hubs. I can send you some detail pictures later if interested. |

That didn't take long! It ain't Olympic Blue but it'll do very, very nicely!
Welcome to the madness... |

Welcome to the "club" nice to have a car that really doesn't need anything! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Come on, Mark, what fun is that? We only buy 914s to spend years restoring rusty bodies and yelling at fuel injection systems, right? |
