So I've come across a 76 914 that's been parked in a field for at least 10 years
(never a good thing). There is also a 72 next to it with rear end damage, most likely only good for parts. The owner is wanting to get rid of them as he has so many vehicles sitting on his property. The interior on the 76 is all there but is pretty deteriorated as expected. It has typical rust in most the usual places but I haven't taken a thorough look at the hell hole and longs. He also has the 2.0 for the 76 with all the Djet still there. The side shift is supposedly somewhere on his property but he has yet to locate it (tons of parts everywhere). Basically I'm wondering if a 76 in California is even worth the effort due to smog requirements. Or Is it only good for parts in my situation? |

You would need to smog it for sure so everything would have to be there and work. Some 76's have a "Non Catalyst" sticker on the door jam. This means no Catalytic Converter. You might get lucky if it was a 49 state model. There may also be a smogable donor motor in 914 World somewhere...
You could fix the early car with 76 parts or find a good roller and use parts from both. |
