I'm considering buying this car. It leaks a few drops of oil when it sits overnight, the heat has been removed but he has all the parts -- i'll put it back on.

Scroll down for all pics.

I agree with Chris about the floor and tar boards over the metal , no real way of evaluating the floors without removing the tarboards, maynot appear to be rusted , until you remove some of that sound deadening material . Overall from the pics it appears to be a fairly good car , but as mentioned the battery / engine shelf area needs some attention. Like I mentioned , check under the rocker panels , if not rusted , then the shelf area may be the worst , if the area around the jackpoint is rusted , then you can figure that the hell hole areais bad also rust runs down hill so to say. I would say if the rocker areas are ok , then go for it , all the other issues can be remidied with time ( elbow grease ) some money ( new HE gaskets , bolts , nuts of the proper size and type , parts missing ) and lots of TLC , which most all of these cars enjoy. Dude you really seem to have your mind made up , just seem to want some reasurance on some points of the car , if you are not familiar with 914s . see if you can get someone that does know them to check it out for youmaybe add that to the price of purchasing it , you know your budget better than anybody else , also know that you will probably have to pay more after the purchase to get it to where you need it , much less what you want from it . Good luck ......
