I have a possible opportunity to acquire a 1971 914.
Is there anything other than rust that I need to be concerned about with the 71? This particular car has the shift linkage disassembled because a mechanic was going to replace some bushings but left the seller high and dry after taking it apart. This isn't my ideal 914. It's a non-appearance version, so no chrome bumpers, no chrome trim, no sail vinyl. I don't mind the steel wheels with the "nipple" caps. Not a fan of the fixed passenger seat or the tail shift transmission. Also it's my least favorite color for a 914, red. Of course over time many of these can be changed. The price is right though if the motor runs as the owner says and is as solid as the owner states. |

On the how to get it home question:
Automobile Club Premier will tow your car on a flatbed 250 miles per tow. The driver that last towed my C4s from Palm Springs to Laguna Beach due to a flat tire said that he has, on more than one occasion towed a car 250 miles to a known point (a gas station on Google maps etc. Then dropped off the car only to be reassigned to take the same car "home" - maybe another 200 miles...... All within the rules of the Auto Club's Premier membership. I have a small tool kit, a cell phone, and a triple A premier membership card.... In the car at all times...
