If it's ebay US, I think you mean this one-
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-914-blue-w...s#ht_415wt_1365 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I am suspicious that there are no photos of either the "hell hole" or the right side longitudinal. Tool kit shown is not from a 74 & no pics of the interior. Front & rear spoilers are not original & don't know if the wheels are either. Front turn signals & rear tail lights are euro spec, not original to US but plus for you. Bumpers are not from a 74. Overall it looks nice, but as a daily driver you have to remember this is a 40 yr old car. They can be very high maintenance when used in that capacity & lots of parts are no longer available. Also, since you mentioned because of your location the top would not be coming off that frequently, you should know that in a strong enough rainstorm the top will leak. Constant exposure of moisture to the chassis will rust the living hell out of her, fast. I'm a year older than you, own 2 914s & use a 95 Civic as my daily driver. The Civic is exceptionally easy & affordable to maintain- not so much for my teeners. Another item to mention is the vast majority of 914s came here to America, so the aftermarket is mostly here, which in turn for you means lots of VAT. Not trying to discourage you m8, but you should know what your getting into 1st. |
