Greetings Amigos! Checking in from NM.
I was offered a 1973 914 with a 916 body kit. White. A daily driver. Odo shows 126K - probably around once. Trunk is slightly rusted through, but the ride looks sound overall. Wheels and tires are very good. Headlights pop up. Dash is rough. Vinyl isn't great but I am trained in vinyl repair. Selling price is $1000.00 Are there any weak things to watch for? What do y'all think? Thanks! |

new mexico can be a good climate for rust...
but do not buy the car with out pulling the rocker covers off and looking at the jack points.... you will be sorry if you don't check if its rusty you need to walk away you will spend 10K fixing it and have a car worth only a fraction walk away and buy a 5k car that does not need fixing this single mistake is what produces parts cars check first! |
