I just joined the forum. I fell for the 914 while stationed a Fort Ord during the early 70's. I am just finishing restoration on a 35 Ford. My next is going to be a 914. I want this to be my driver. I know absolutely nothing to look for when I go to buy one this summer. Can some of you folks help out on what to look for and what to stay away from? I promised the wife that this one won't take five years. So I would like one that does run so she can take it for a ride a few times (To get her hooked) before I tear it down. From what I am hearing, is I need to go to SO CAL to get one that is close to rust free. This maybe a misconseption or everything I read or hear maybe one. So please help me all you can. Thanks. Gunn

Two Suggestions 1. Keep an eye on the classifieds here. Many good members with good cars for sale. Cali cars are usually better than most others, but that is not always true. Part of that theory is Porsche sold more 914s there to begin with & the climate is good. But I have found some absolute gems here. Craig at Camp914 is not that far from you and always has cars 2. Get a 914World Member to go with you to look at any car. Not only with they have knowledge, but also a voice of reason. Good Luck, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) T.C. |
