It was driven to it's current location ~3 years ago, and driven into and out of the driveway twice since.
Car has:
The engine has stock FI
decent interior & dash
all glass
top good
no front bumper in pics, but one (bent) avail
good rear bumper & rear lenses
SS Heat exchangers & looks like all heater elements

CAVEATS:
Car has sat for long enough that fuel should be drained.
Brakes worked when parked, but show a leak in the driveway and now no brakes when loading onto the car carrier.
Engine rocker arms were removed, but have set to replace them with.
SO - currently engine would not run without rocker replacement & valve adjustment (all parts included).

Longerons have been replaced with heavy angle iron by PO, and critical parts of suspension are rusted - Not road worthy!

This would be an excellent parts car if you had a solid tub.

Ok.... driveable 71 with stock FI.

Crushing it.
Because it needs to go (city code violations).

I will pull all of the good parts and take to erie salvage if no response.

going.... yes i have seen posts about particular parts ...

You should see where this is going: FAR MORE value for my time removing parts than the parts are worth

Time vs. value conversion says that I should crush the running 71 914 rather than spend the time trying to find a buyer.
Sad but true. It will cost me money trying to find a worthy buyer vs just crushing it w/ minimal physical expenditure....

David,

I would of course remove the steering wheel cluster as well as the entire wiring harness.

I would just prefer someone save a driveable car for $1500 rather than me "dispose" of it.

Selling it whole is easy. Parting out is a pain but you can probably make your money and more, Especially if it has alloy wheels. Locks, switches, small parts, ect. They all add up. The wire harness a project. It's takes some time. Don't get involved with cutting it up unless you want a big project.

I understand and agree, it is always preferred that a 914 is saved rather than crushed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I could use a bunch of parts off that car but I'm too far away this time of year to come out with a trailer and a 2wd ranger pickup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Sorry I havent replied to any PMs lately.
Holiday week was busy.

I am not in a huge hurry to get rid of the car, but I need the cash to finish the racecar before this next season.
I would have no trouble stripping the car myself in a few days, I just would have to store the racecar outside then find garage space for the parts.

I would prefer someone take the whole package and move it to a good tub.

I will take offers.
With the exception of the rocker arms being removed and the brakes now leaking, the car still drives.

Stu I'm up to help strip the parts, and I'm pretty sure I can corral Ray into doing it too (maybe we could snag the dash out of it as payment?) I've gotten pretty good at tearing these cars apart.

Price change.

Please someone buy this driveable collection of parts.

Ross - thx for the offer. I dont need help (have three healthy kids living with me at the moment), but if youd like to stop by any time, let me know.
The racecar is almost finished and I have a large stockpile of parts separate from the car for sale.

I just posted it on craigslist.
I really wish someone here who appreciates it would have gotten it.

I just dont have the time or the space for a second project car.
