Looking at my first 914 purchase, may look at a '76 model (see link)...any pro-cons to the '76 models?
Thanks http://www.cars.com/search/used/cc/standar...enver&src=&cid= |

Dang, I might just have to trek up to Boulder this week, give it a real close inspection and see what kind of price can be negotiated....just looked at a '73 911T here in the Springs Monday.....not worth the $9200 price!
jaider.....my Ferrari was immaculate body/interior/rust wise; needed timing belts/gears/flywheel/clutch done ($12k right there...) Then rear wheel bearings (same as 911), both fuse boxes.....straw that broke Camel's back was timing cover bearing went bad: $600 parts and 22 hours labor! That 914 in Boulder runs about as much as a full 30k mile service on my ex-308! |
