I posted about buying this car last fall. the thread is here

It's a 1974 2.0 that I decided to let sit in my mother's garage over the winter until I could figure out if i was going to go pick it up or have it it shipped. It turned out to just be less of a hassle to have it shipped. I listed it on Uship, got a bid i was happy with, and the car should be delivered this Friday or Saturday. I'm really excited to get this thing here and give it a once over. I've never seen the car in person so hopefully there are no nasty surprises waiting for me. updates will follow later this week

Pretty happy with this car. i only had about 30 minutes to look it over after it was delivered before I had to leave the house, but overall it seems to be a really solid driver. The interior is a little bit rattier than expected. the good part is dash is crack free and the ugly seats turned out to just be seat covers that were hiding really nice stock brown seats. The dash face vinyl is peeling, the carpet needs replacing and the rear window has a less than stellar tint job on it. The one thing that is kind of a bummer is the car was originally Signal Orange. I don't mind the red and it has a good older paint job on it but I am a dead up sucker for an orange car. Knowing that the car I own was originally one of my favorite 914 colors just stings a little bit. I'll investigate a little more this weekend.
