(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) Sellers seem to think that exempts them from any responsibility for misrepresentation. "I" would eyeball that puppy before bidding.

did you read the ad??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

motor said to be rebuilt 15,000 miles ago (same as what the speedo reads)...it is very common to re-calibrate speedo to match engine miles......miles on motor are sometimes more important than the miles on the car.....of course an hour meter could be usefull as well (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Chimp Sanctuary NW. Check it out. Group: Members Posts: 22,098 Joined: 2-March 03 From: Orion's Bell. The BELL! Member No.: 378 Region Association: Galt's Gulch	seeing the rear trunk with the pad out would be nice. the front too. print out a buyers guide at pelican and study it. look under the carpets. esp at the firewall bottom behind the seats. familiarize yourself with the "hell hole" in the engine compartment, the engine shelve area in front of the battery. there will be sound deadening padding. bring a good flashlight with you and spend a couple of bucks on an ice pick to probe around with. what's your spending limit? determine that before you even look at a car. look at the cars in the classifieds here to help you with your pricing basis. not knowing where you are located in the p.s. area, see if you can find one up north that's rougher than you would care to have. when you can really see wher the rust is, it helps you know where the rust hides (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) . nice looking cars in washington can be nightmares. email the seller and ask what it would take to end the auction NOW and get back to us. k

Its the yellow car that Dave Said was working on when he died. All the guys finished it afterwards for him. Should be a good car to buy as it was solid when I saw it last year.....

Dan Root finally had his arm twisted to take it, I couldn't due to no room left. He fixed a couple a things and sold it back East to a Club member. Black 74 2.0L but it isn't in the same league as the yellow car IF its the same car I am thinking of. Always buy the BEST 914 you can get your hands on as they just plain cost double or triple what you think to fix up. Roger might be interested in selling his yellow 75.....ok car but needs lots of cash to get right.
