I am trying to get this car in great shape so in 7 years (hopefully I'm done) my boys will have a real cool ride. What do you think the availability of parts be in say 10 years. Should I start to stock pileing parts and maybe a new engine?

Parts availability is relative. Compared to a Chevy small-block, it's terrible. Compared to a Citroen, it's fabulous. Considering people in the US manage to keep 50 year old Citroens on the road, I wouldn't be too worried about it. There are plenty of other engine builders of the Type IV than Jake. He may the best one, but he's not the only one.
Another metric: there are always tens of pages of items on Ebay resulting in a search on "Porsche 914". Do the same search for "Alfa Romeo", and the list is slightly smaller, but covers all dozen or so of the models Alfa made over 50 years, while the Porsche search is just one model made over only 6 years. I just sold an Alfa to buy the 914 mostly because parts are scarce for the Alfa, and some parts are impossible to find. |
