Hi guys, newbie to 914's. My other P-cars are an 87' 930 and an 02' 996TT.
Always been a fan of the 914, as a kid had a neighbour that owned one, got hooked. That being said, AutoAtlanta has a 73' for sale: http://www.autoatlanta.com/carsales/porsch...ng.php?id=48111 Is it worth a closer inspection? I went once to their shop years ago, seemed legit. Do they have a good rep in the community? Is this a good car, or should I try and find something more "restored"? My goal is as a keeper, Sunday driver. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions. |

Some corrosion repair, a paint job and it'll be swell. Maybe...appearently ancient 165x15 tire relacement was not part of the thorough service. $2k more buys a sorted car in the classifieds here. Plan on spending well north of $20k after all of the dust settles. Better go look at the car before you commit to anything. The pictures seem to be carefully orcastrated. The missing branch elbow to the heat control valve is telling to me. For over $13k I would want to see the rocker covers off and the forward engine compartment firewall to pan area.
