  Guys, I came across this 914 the other day and was wondering what I should make as an initial offer on it. I believe it is a '75 or '76. I have no idea on miles. It hasn't run in over 16 years. The interior is completely shot. All the rubbers around the windows and roof top will need to be replaced. It is sitting outside and apears to have been so for a long time. I can't see if the frame is rusted out or not. The passengers side rear quarter pannel has been banged pretty good.I have a 14 year old son who will be driving in 2 years and I thought it would be a good project car to work on together. If it's affordable.... what's it worth as it is?? |

Wellllll here is my buzz on it...IF you have the room/space......
You have A Perfect candidate for a 'Get To Know' a 914 car..... if the car IS complete......for a while you will be in gloves and masks from all of the mouse poop...maybe some snakes...or hornets nests.. (been there done that)....but really fun..!!!! Next since it is a 75 it will have 2 adjustable seats and side shift tranny.... you will more than likely buy a 73 or later...when you do.... Was it a 2 liter??? anyway get your metrics out....and you and your son dissect the brains out of it....consider it your cadaver.... get a most Xlnt sawzall and short and long blades and see how these cars tick.......pitch the bad or crappy stuff ..keep the stuff you want... and the cut metal, sell or recycle it.... all n all it is a 40 hour project if you see what these cars are... someone might buy the harness out of it...so be kool on extracting that... you 2 will learn sooooo much....3 people can lift the tranny and motor together.. once out of the car..then tear that down...!!! Soooo that is just the start...just find a trusty dumpster though.... take seats apart..back pad if they are shot...then pitch em.. leave your suspension and rear hand brake till last..... once the engine and tranny are out it rolls really easy.!! and again you might get some decent parts out of it..... So good luck...If it is a 2.0 250.00$ is very very fair.. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Gint. I still do that today, actually I just did that Saturday. Picked up two cars, one that actually be a good project car for some and the other a folded in half parts car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) I find it fun to take apart these parts car, I learn more about them everyday.
Like most people on here my first 914 was not a the great car I thought it was. It ran and drove, but once I got to know what to look for I discovered it wasa running & driving parts car at best. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Here is the pair I picked up, well actually the blue one is still in the guys spare garage where it has sat since 1978, folded in half. Not sure how I am going to get it home yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)  QUOTE(914runnow @ Oct 5 2013, 11:07 PM)  Wellllll here is my buzz on it...IF you have the room/space......
