Greetings!
My wife and I are downsizing and moving near our son and his family, so my '76 must go. Black with tan interior, console, dealer air (not tested), 5 Mahle wheels, near new Goodyear Eagles, big front rollbar and factory rear bar, bilsteins, stainless brake lines, Bursch exhaust, Weltmeister short shift kit, Momo Monte Carlo wheel, Denon audio with a 50 watt amp. I am the fourth owner since it was purchased new at Carrousel in MN, but it lived in CA and AZ for most of its life until I discovered it back again in MN. It came with me when I was transferred out east, and we have enjoyed using it to cruise through NJ and Eastern PA. It currently shows about 87k on the clock. I replaced the fuel lines (thanks racer Chris) and have that job done. Prior to beginning this task, it ran well and is in good shape as a driver. It can use paint to really look great. Please see the last post for updated pictures, and now that things are all together, asking $7650. PM me to set up your inspection. The car is located in the Lehigh Valley, in eastern PA.

I had a chance to check out the car this weekend and drive it. With TC's approval, I will give my opinion of the car along with pics that I took.
I'll try to compartmentalize my impression of the car by discussing the body panels, trunks, any rust areas, engine, shifting, and general drive experience. First the outside body. The paint is mostly original black. The driver side fender has been replaced (I think) and repainted. The driver door has been repainted. There appears to be a bit of primer showing through on the top of the passenger door. Not bad though for 40 year old single stage paint. I think the paint would really pop with a good buffing, glaze, and wax. All the body panels including trunk lids seem to be in very good condition and straight. No major dents or deformities. Just a few dings here and there. In general for a 914, it is in excellent condition. All the door gaps are perfect. The rear trunk has no rust through and just a tiny bit of surface rust where wires have rubbed through the paint. Just a tiny little rust spot on the bottom of the door. The sail panels look to be in very good condition with no bubbles under the vinyl. There are 2 little dents on the top of the fender next to the passenger sail panel. The paint in the door jambs is near perfect. No rust in the jambs. With the doors open and the rear latches on the targa top unlatched, I jumped on the door jambs to check for movement of the roll hoop to the back of the targa top. There was no movement. This car is solid. |
