My latest find- Wife claims it (holy crap), 73 2.0 alaskan blue metallic Options

Okay so I bought another 914. It s a 73 2.0 with a build date of 05/73. Car is Alaskan blue metallic. It looks to have had one reapaint & may not be an exact match to stock. Pretty close though if not. Front trunk is in good shape. Rear trunk has rust as well as rear lid. There are a few rust bubbles in spots. Also the hell hole is pretty bad. This will probably be on the shelf for a while. I do plan to restore this though. Once the LE creamsicle is done & gone it will get it's turn.
Car runs & will drive but calipers need rebuilt. No pads in them now. Easier to move it around that way. Does have 4 lug Fuchs all around. They are just under the car. It has some crappy vw rollers on it except for one Fuch up front. 2 Fuchs have curb rash on them. Overall I'm excited to have another 73 2.0. This was the car that started the madness for me 12 or 13 years ago. Finances forced me to sell it & I've regretted it for years. So I can restore this one & I love Alaskan Blue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Oh the guy was planning on putting a v8 into it. I have the tranny adapater along with the pressure plates for a 350 & a 327. He also happened to have a buick 215 motor sitting in his garage. It needs rebuilt but I got that thrown in too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I can't believe it. When I broght it home this car got claimed by no less than 3 people. First was my father in law. He does this for every one I bring home. It's a standing joke between us. He's had a few to many strokes & can't drive anymore.

2nd was my son who said can I have it for my sweet 16 birthday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) . He's ten so dang cute I laughed outright when he said that. I don't think he quite gets the concept of what sweet sixteen means. I did say I'd build one with him when the time was right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) .

3rd was my wife saying she wanted it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) . That amazed me as she hasn't shown much interest before. I figure she was just pulling my leg. Next she says you can teach me how to race it (autoX). I figure she is having fun at my expense. I say you have no idea what you are saying. Your in big trouble now as I'll hold you to it. Still just kidding really. We both laugh & I figure it's over. Today she see's my post on facebook with pictures. She adds to it I'm serious I want that car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Guess she's not kidding & we are going to have another 914 in the carpool for good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) . We just had our 16 year anniversary & I can't remember being so surprised. Except when she actually agreed to marry me anyway.
