Went to Richmond this Saturday to look at car not expecting to find much and wound up agreeing to purchasing a 1970 914 1.7 with 52,000 documented original miles. The car is as rust free as a 914 can be, willow green with a repaint a few years ago. She has been in storage since 96.
The car needs to be sorted out before being put back on the road. She needs the fuel lines replaced, a new windshield, some suspension work and the interior needs some work but is overall in nice shape. Here are a few pictures: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i146.photobucket.com-179-1347923793.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i146.photobucket.com-179-1347923793.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i146.photobucket.com-179-1347923793.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i146.photobucket.com-179-1347923793.4.jpg) |

Patrick came out to the July PCA Potomac DE and everyone asked him if he was driving, he turns 16 next June and told me that this was going to be his track car. It looks like SCCA will let him run at 16 so it was time to finish the project. I was delighted when the shop said that they would take it on and work on it in between jobs.
A quick update the car is a rust free 71 with 52,000 miles. The front end was replaced many years ago so the perfect candidate for modification. The tired 1.7 has been replaced with fresh 2.4 four that should put out about 150hp. The updated exhaust, SSI's with a Triad West muffler is in, 180 lb rear springs installed, deep sump has been installed, the carburetor conversion is finished and a front through the body sway bar has been installed. The front struts still need modification for the shocks and the brakes sorted out but we are making progress. We still have a few additional items that will come later, second oil cooler, duel point distributor and a Mallory ignition. Here are a few shots taken today: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i146.photobucket.com-6468-1347922097.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i146.photobucket.com-6468-1347922097.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i146.photobucket.com-6468-1347922097.3.jpg) |
