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. |

I'm in early discussions with the seller of this one.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/5514406272.html He's going to get me some more photos, but I may need a PPI. Just to be prepared, is there anyone in the Santa Cruz area of California that could check it out for me? If I offer to put a deposit down, is it assumed that the deposit is non-refundable? I've never tried to buy a car out of state. Then there's the other challenge of finding a transport to bring it half way across the country. Hopefully some around here can guide me down that path with some recommendations. Looking at the pics in the ad, it obviously needs some finishing work. The seller listed off all of the things that need to be installed/finished. Is there anything in the pictures that are a cause for concern other than the rattle can black trunks? |
