I have been looking at a green 72 1.7. Over all eveything seems to be well maintained, but the battery has been moved to the trunk and put in a marine type battery holder, there is some rust under where the battery used to be, and the wind shield is cracked on the passsenger side (I am guessing this is from body flex) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I am interested in a daily driver that I can eventually upgrade to make it better running and more reliable. The PO is asking $4,600 , but what kind of expenses can I expect in order to repair the frame? (I have no welding skills...I would have to have it done for me) I would like to offer him what it is worth to me if I have to do a major repair such as this. Soooo I am cautiously asking for opinioins from this boa..oops... fourm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Thanks for all the posts so far. The car is located in Naples and I found it on the classic car section of autotrader.com. It's interior is very clean an I didn't see any indications of major repairs.
Plus..and this may be lame...when I was a kid I lived in Marburg Germany in 1972 and I had an auto book from the grocery store that had b/w pics of cars that you would cover with the colored sticker that you got every time mom went shopping. I fell in love with a little yellow car...which as you savy people have guessed was ..... a 914. Actually I think it was a 916, but it looked the same and I was in kindergarten. So the prospect of owning the first car I ever liked is very tempting. Is it possible to find a rust free 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |
