We sold our Passat, and we want a 914 to drive daily. Something cheap, prefer it to be running and not too rusty. We don't want one that is structually challenged.
thanks! Rob and Nel 865-463-2575 914rrr@comcast.net |

Rob and Nel 865-463-2575 914rrr@comcast.net So why didn't you guys just keep that purdy white 73-2L you stripped & sold recently, or is this a recent change of heart? ...that one looked like it was in excellent shape!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It was, but we needed the cash to finish Rob's blue 914. Now that the Passat is sold, we have the cash to buy another 914. But we are looking for a daily driver, not a 914 as nice as Rob's '73. We do not want Rob's to be a daily driver. |

But we are looking for a daily driver, not a 914 as nice as Rob's '73. We do not want Rob's to be a daily driver. I can completely understand that one! That's why mine sat in my garage here in SoCal for 24 years, while we raised our 2 kids & drove "family cars"! But now their finishing college, we next an "extra" occasional driver here for my personal/business use, and I can write off the business use part of "resurrecting" my 73-2L, & I finally have some funds & time at the same time to do so! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Did he ever put it back to the stock OE 2.0 with EFI? I think I read somewhere here that he was converting it back from a turbo or webber carb setup? BTW - Does Rob still have any of the "spare" parts left from the white/blue 914's? If so, he can e-mail them to me with pix & pricing, which you should have from my rubber bumper top-strip & front rubber bumper-guards restoration questions from last week (let me know if not). My F&R chromes are pretty bent,so I want to compare costs and post-repair quality of those, vs. buying others in good condition, as well as L&R full US-Lensed Taillight assemblies/housings, etc. Here's a thought for a new daily driver, if Porsche or VW would ever actually build it close to this (pic from 9/08 Motor Trend Article on possible "future 914"): (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hope Rob's feeling better by now! |
