I looked at my first 914 yesterday. Now I'm not new to the 914, having followed them since they were new. But never owned one. This one was rust free, and at around $4000, I thought it might be nice. I guess my idea of nice and his is a bit different. I was, am, looking for a runner to fix up and play around with, but this was too much for the average back yard wrench. It rode nice, hard, but had a Bursche ??? muffler which was LOUD, and probably toast. If I were to buy it, I would have to have taken the entire car apart and cleaned/updated/buffed everything on the car to make it nice. It's just me, I guess I'm anal when it comes to cars, they have to be fine. And if I sell one, you can bet it's in better shape then when I bought it. That would have cost about $2-3000 dollars.It neede a complete paint job, seats, bumper rubber. I have been out of this (914) market for a while, but from what I see, the really good examples have really gone up in value. I;'ll keep looking for the right car and I'm in no rush. To those who have nice examples, keep them going and you're in the drivers seat.

You can reach me at 219-730-6418 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Here are a few pics of the 73. Like I said before it was a 1.7, but now has a 2.0. Needs new head temp sensor (I have one on order), left rear brake drags, needs radio installed and a good buff job. It was a AC car so front trunk was cut, but I have a replacement pan for it. If you don't like the brown interior I have a complete black one that I can install minus the carpet. I wasn't plannig to list it yet since it still needs a little work for spring, but if you are looking we can talk. Attached image(s)
