Trade 74 LE project Options

[rotten914]

My wife wants me to see if I can trade my 74 LE project for another 914 in slightly better condition. She wants a car that we can finish in a shorter period of time. Some people may consider my car nothing more than a parts car, i'm not really sure how bad it is yet. It does not run and it has been sitting for a long time. I just want a 914, so I'm putting this up to make her happy. If I cant get any interest in it I'll start working on it soon.

The car is complete. I'm not completely sure of the condition yet because I haven't gotten that far into it. The rear trunk floor is rotten on the back edge and the front trunk has a hole in it under the spare. There are some rotten spots in the floor boards but they are only small spots. I have not yet uncovered the firewall. The battery box is rotten of course and there is heavy rust under it but i'm not sure how deep it is. The motor has not been run since it was parked at least 10 or 15 years ago. The brakes are all rusted up. The rear trunk lid will need to be replaced and there are some holes around the base of the windshield. This is a car that will need serious work, or maybe it will just be worth more to someone as a parts car. The suspension is in fairly good condition and the front and rear sway bars are intact. I have not yet tried to get a COA and I don't really have the money to get it just to try to trade it. I was told by the previous owner that it was a LE. He had no idea what the car really was that is just what he had been told when he bought it in 76. It does have all the markings of a LE along with the matching wheels and front lip. The car doesn't show any signs of being modified to an LE.
