It was driven to it's current location ~3 years ago, and driven into and out of the driveway twice since.
Car has:
The engine has stock FI
decent interior & dash
all glass
top good
no front bumper in pics, but one (bent) avail
good rear bumper & rear lenses
SS Heat exchangers & looks like all heater elements

CAVEATS:
Car has sat for long enough that fuel should be drained.
Brakes worked when parked, but show a leak in the driveway and now no brakes when loading onto the car carrier.
Engine rocker arms were removed, but have set to replace them with.
SO - currently engine would not run without rocker replacement & valve adjustment (all parts included).

Longerons have been replaced with heavy angle iron by PO, and critical parts of suspension are rusted - Not road worthy!

This would be an excellent parts car if you had a solid tub.

I got a chance to check this car out last weekend. It certainly is an excellent value for someone who had a decent tub to swap parts into. The car is incredibly complete for this price. Shoot, the two rear view mirrors alone would bring over 300! The car had orange KONI adjustables, foglights in good condition and good glass all around, not to mention the excellent condition rear tail lights. Interior all seemed decent as well with only a few small cracks in the dash. The early back pad especially is in good shape, with no visible tears (that I saw).

The rust issues are such that a restoration isn't really in the picture, when Stu says heavy angle iron what he really means is that some bridges in the area may be missing some of the structural steel. That said, the beams are so stiff that the car may be driveable short term.

This car is a steal of a deal for someone who has rough early 914 because this car has enough parts that could be transferred over to make a pretty incredible car.

I passed on it personally because I've already got two 914's, a Subaru, and motorcycle in my 2-car garage. Plus, with the ashtray cupholder production rolling I don't really need another distraction.
