The 76 is not my favorite year. It's got the lousy late-style exhaust and a smog pump on it. In CA, it is the only 914 that has to pass biannual smog inspections.
There are rust bubbles under the paint in several areas, which means the rust is coming from underneath and when you try to fix it you will find more. In addition, the paint on several panels doesn't really match. There are no photos of the "hell hole" and related areas, so it is difficult to say how bad the structure of the car might be. I am not impressed, and would not pay much for the car. Then again, I am prejudiced against the later cars. The seats and carpet are not original materials, as far as I can determine. A good resource for that is on Jeff Bowlsby's website: http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/PaintFabrics.htm (Look around the rest of it for a while, lots of interesting stuff there!!) --DD |
