I'm going to call a woman selling a 74 914. She wants something in the ball park of $500 give or take $100. I know the car ran when it was put into storage, but that's pretty much it. I also feel like I saw a classified ad of the car in a field. It definitely has some surface rust, I just don't know how deep it goes.
Thanks PS i'm looking for a project for the summer, just not an overly intense one |

If you are looking for a project to learn about cars and you are willing to do a lot of the work yourself this may be a good project. But don’t expect to get what you put into it out of it later. You will put more than 2000 into this car if you have that kind of money setting around you may wont to consider a car that is not so fare gone as fare as rust goes from the looks off it. If you wont to maybe get your money back over time, Well some of it, this may not be the car. ANYTHING is possible what is your background around cars? And if that is a 74 why dose it have 75 bumpers? If it is a 2.0 motor buy as fast as you can and find another shell maybe and rebuild the 2.0 motor to go into the car with the best body. Most of us here started with one 914 than we got donor cars like the pix your showing.

I'm definitely willing to do a lot of the work myself, I want to learn how to fix cars, do it myself that sort of thing. I have friends that are great with cars if I get stuck, and a fantastic mechanic who wouldn't think twice about looking the car over once I bought it or giving me some advice. I love classic cars, and Porsche's so I figured for the money it was a trifecta. As to the bumpers I really don't think this woman knows anything about cars |
