1974 914 2.0, Exceptional Blue Car Options

[ClayPerrine]

1974 914 2.0 L

This car is here at Zims Autotechnik. I have no interest in the sale, but I have driven and examined this car in detail and it is an exceptional quality car. No rust found in the trunk, the hell hole, the frame or anywhere else I could think to look. Original 70600 miles on the odometer. New tires, new battery. Runs and drives. A real rarity... a 914 that you don't have to work on before you can drive it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Come pick it up and drive it home, even if you are in Maine.

Asking $9750.00

Beautiful Texas car. If I wasn't unemployed, I would buy it myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Stopped by and looked at the car yesterday. I liked it enough that I made and offer and it is mine. I think I got it at a fair value. Did not pay asking price, closer to some of the suggested $$ from this post. It is a very nice car. The spoiler and side moldings have to go immediately (will need paint work, I hope not too much as the paint is really nice), and the clutch tube (maybe a clutch as well) will need to be worked on. Brakes are great and the transmission is good (a little grind if you try to shift to first while the car is moving (most of my 914's did that if I remember correctly)

The only possible rust I saw was in the hellhole. Not bad and not into the suspension console. The rest of the car is really good. The interior is fantastic, most of the rubber is soft, the vinyl is hard on the seats (going on 36 years of age - what do I expect)?

I have converted one car to a rotary compressor for the AC and plan to do that on this car. Suspect hoses, etc will need to be replaced as well. Will need to replace the fuel lines, move the pump to the front of the car and I am sure there will be lots of other opportunities as I get the car sorted out. It has not been driven much in the last several years.

I look forward to becoming an active member here. Don't laugh but I am planning on visiting with Eric Shea on the rear 5 lug conversion and I have a few questions on the front end. On a previous car I had I replaced the entire front end with a Carrera front end. I think I could just replace the struts with Carrera units and do the ball jts and turbo tie rods while I am at it to get the 5 lug front? I would still have the 914 A arms and torsion bars? Planning on keeping the body stock using 6"x16" Fuchs. Down the road a conversion to a 3.2 is part of the plan. Stay tuned and thanks for letting me ramble.
