Nic eto see how the front of the car crumples before the passenger compartment starts being distorted at all. The more I see pictures of our little cars sustaining damage, the more I realize how safe they seem to be.

yeah.....i was impressed too! I love my 914......after the shock caused from the wreck, I called my mom and (tried) to discuss with her just how safe it was....literally it does what you say. The hood crumples so you keep your head, and the front end absorbs impact (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I claim dibs on this car, no one else bid on it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Honestly,
I am going to call the guy and see if I can check it out, its only 2 hrs from me. It just might have some good metal on it. I will report back what I find out. |

Yep, iknow. I called but no answered. It will go for more than I am willing to pay. Heck, its already more than I am willing to pay. I just found a 73 1.7 that is complete that I think i can get for under $500. The seller is asking $800 OBO, but if I bring cash I think it will go for $500 or less. My father in law found a 76 over in South Bend at a tire / auto repair shop. The guys was asking..... $7600 but then marked down to $5500. My father checked it out and was told they would take $3000 for it. We went and looked at it over the weekend, yep a $3000 car with the custom battery tray with a view of the ground via the hell hole. I was afraid to take the roof off and open the doors, it will fold in half. It is a complete car so I did offer $300 for it, needless to say I was told to go (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

The car is a 72 so if it is stock then the motor is a 1.7 not 1.8. |

So, in 1988.. yes... I was talked into the *fact* that the Saab 9000 CD was what I needed... so I went down to Saaby Saaberton Saab, and I bought one, and man, it was really nice... and I drove it that week, and I got on a plane... and two days later, I was in Minnieatropolis, Minniesoda and a 16-17' long boat went over the top of my Saab, while it was sitting at a red light, about to turn left.
I wasn't there, but the person related to me, who is 10 years younger, and still owes me a good Saab was, and he's still shitting in his pants, and that car looked about like that teener, before they didn't total it.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I dunno, call me a romantic, I like the teener wreck better. M |

Nope. That would make it "not a 2.0". The 2.0 914 motors (and 912E motors) had the vertical throttle body; all the others (1.7, 1.8, Bus 2.0) had the horizontal throttle body. You can tell from the inlets and such on the air cleaner that it's a 72. It's got the inlet for warm air--a feature that I don't think was ever hooked up. --DD |

This "company" is the sales arm of Auto Sports Unlimited, a company specializing in European salvage parts and such.
The parts end does "quite well" judging by the prices quoted to me for some misc. stuff. A tad rich for my blood. The "buy 'em wrecked/ sell 'em wrecked" biz. is new to them. I am through Holland twice a week and can see how bent it is and take some more explicit shots if anyone needs them. Geez, another post! Hi Chris! Hi Rick!
