There is a guy in san luis obispo, CA selling a 914 he has sitting in his field. He got the car to build as a race car so he didnt care about not having a title with the car, but he is working on his 911 project instead so he is selling this roller. I dont have much more info on previous life of car but will try and get as much as he knows when i talk to him next.
There is a VIN number that he will be getting to me in the next day or so, and I will then contact the DMV and see if there are any records for the car or what the current status is on paper. Does anyone know how to go about acquiring a title for the car?? Thanks for the help! Happy new years! David |

Ok awesome, so it sounds like its not an awful process that i should avoid at all costs. His name is Aaron, not Otto or Franz so thats good!
Now i have to find a flat bed to haul it back to my house! |

Now i have to find a flat bed to haul it back to my house! If its the car that's been listed on CL for a month or so, it looks pretty rusty and picked-over. The rust is especially bad in the windshield/cowl area, and that area is a pain in the ass to fix (ask me how I know!). As a fellow Californian who "saved" a rusty basket-case 914 over four years ago, I would suggest you get a more complete and cleaner car for a starter, and then look for these "bargains" for parts afterward. Your mileage may vary... |
