How's the 914 world going on! I think I have a great opportunity in front of me. I found a 73 Porsche 914 for a $1000. The car is a rust show but has a lot of salvageable parts on it including a unmolested 2.0 engine (which they say it runs), and a rear sift tranny. My question is for the seasoned 914 vets. How much is the car worth, and Would I be paying to much? To help with the pricing I live in NY, near manhattan.
Thanks, Jack |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) ... or if it is another MY with a tail-shifter 70-72, then the motor either isn't a "real" GA or GC 2.0, or it's a transplant. However, a tail-shift case can be used to rebuild a side-shift as a side-shift, if you're going by the /11 vs. /12 transaxle case number. Yeah - they all "ran when parked" - so you need to look at it as a rebuildable core, and the D-jet EFI needs to be complete for best value. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Best look closer at was this one has & actual MY, since it could be a $2-500 rust bucket with some parts & a PITA in time/effort to strip & sell as a part out, or a $500-1000 part-out with a few key components such as alloy wheels, 2.0 GA, etc. which can be parted easily for most or more than the cost.
