Opinions on this '74 2.0? Options

[914Next]

I posted recently related to my interest in a very nice 2.0 or 6. Looking for all original and in excellent condition. Prefer original paint and this one has had one repaint but I like the fact that this one is a one owner until 2013. Looks like a very nice car. Are the 74 2.0's a good prospect? Looks to be very minimal rust although I don't see exposed rocker area and battery area pics are not great. Would be interested in opinions and questions to ask or issues to be concerned about with this car. Opening bid is $15k, Whats it likely worth?

Thanks

Car looks nice, with a few flaws.

I know people go ape shit over a Carb car vs FI, but Carbs are simple and a Carb'd 914 can run fantastic.

73 & 74 are the best years no doubt. Ones with little or no rust, nice Paint, good trim are to be sought after. Buy the Best car you can afford and it will cost you less in the long haul.

I think this car will see the 20's

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) There ain't much to pick on here. But carbs and exhaust will hold it back a few thousand dollars. And a great Ebay ad with all the info with all the pictures. Agree that will hit the 20's.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This is the -4 people are looking for. The FI parts can be found to convert it back to stock; same with the exhaust. The presence of the sway bars is a plus and although it has an aftermarket stereo, the door panels are uncut. The car shows no signs of weathering; obviously garaged and with the low miles it was probably a weekend pleasure cruiser.

Maybe it's just the lighting, but the color on the battery tray support doesn't look right and I believe the battery tray itself should be body color. Leads me to believe that some work has been done in that area. The good news is that without the ECU in the way it should be easy to check the hell hole.

If it checks out, go after it. Cars like this are hard to find. BTW, the color is great! I have a '74 Marathon Blue 2.0 and every time I drive it I say, "I love this car".
