Here is a runner that I am considering in SC. It is being offered at $4250, but I think I can talk him down to $4000 even. It is a 75 with backdated bumpers. I would be getting rid of the bumpers, interior and wheels. Probably give them to Scotty in exchange for a discount on the body and paint. It has a properly jetted set of webers on a 2.0 and runs fine supposedly. I have a PPI set up.

Let me know what you think.

Looks nice. Is this a "non-rust" car or rust survivor? I notice the battery tray is gone. Wonder what the hell-hole looks like. Did this have A/C? why is the front trunk floor replaced? Any pics of the longs w/o the rocker panels? Was that rust holes under the driver door jamb kick panel?

Where I would want to take a closer look at what's under the rockers or why the spare tire area needed to be replaced, you have the skills to weld at will. Looks like a good starter frame - maybe a bit pricey for what you will probably end up doing with it.

I think it's a great starting point. He can probably recover $1k or more by selling the engine/tranny. I'm guessing by the pics that it was an AC delete... I'd say jump on it.

strange possibly. in one pix of the interior, there is a console and another pix of the interiod without the carpet shows no console (must have removed console to show floor condition) but (hard to be certain) horn button is different, one with a P crest other is .... blurred. you probably are careful that it's all the same car, not bait & switch......

Are you going to have smog problems with a 1975? Is silver the original color?
You could probably get another $500 for the wheels.

It is an AC deleted car. He had pulled much of the stuff because he is gonna repaint it if it doesnt sell. The pic with all the stuff on is what is included. I would expect to recover some of the $ in selling the interior, wheels, engine and tranny. 75 is not a smog concern here or in CA.

Saw the photobucket pics previously. I'd be concerned with the longs. Hope the PPI goes into detail there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Good luck.

Joe Owensby is checking it out for me as he works in the town that the car is in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I am going to require pics of the longs or Joe's input on what he saw before I will feel completely ok with it.

The SD one is nice, but shipping might be a PITA since it doesnt run. I figure that I will have a runner in the one I am considering and after I sell off the parts I dont need it will be less than it would be to ship the one form SD. Joe is going over there tomorrow and will call me when he is inspecting it.

Regarding the pics in his photobucket, what do you all think about the warped back bottom of the center tunnel on the underside shots? I am not sure if I should be concerned about it and will likely have Joe look at it closer. I also want to see the fire wall where the shifter and cables come out.

I started another thread for one in the Philly area. 73 that is supposedly solid lest a seized engine. It would cost me at the least $1000 to ship the SD one bringing the price to $2500 which it $400 less than the one 2 hours away that may be similar and is the year I want. Someone should jump on the SD one, though. If I were there I would (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Food for thought...

One or two or ? east coast winters is enough to ruin a 914, just take a look at 1970 Neun vierzehn's resto thread, and the surprising amount of rust that was uncovered...

Since you really need a good chasis, I'd be looking out west, unless you found something local that you could verify no winter use.

The one in Carlsbad sounds nice, I lived in leucadia, very close in No. county.

Every morning my car was covered with moisture from the ocean. My car rusted

Mike, stay clear of a 75/76.

PA will make you smog it, and you will never get it passed without getting an antique vehicle tags for it - which really limits what you can do with the car. It is one of those things I wish I had known before I got mine. I am going to have to go the antique tags route. In the past you had said you did not want to have to do that.

Thats news to me, Zach. The 75-76b cars that Ron has been peddling didnt need to be smogged. Maybe I didnt notice that they had antique tags on them. Crap....that changes everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The smog for pre 94 cars is just visual. That may be easier than you think to get passed. I will call Ron and see what he knows.
