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. |

How much is 'just a bit'? If not to the 'my wife will kill me' level, check out the car and it's a keeper see what you can make happen. The MWWKM stuff starts much further down the timeline.

I did send an email to the Fargo seller. I want to keep my options open, that's for sure. Never got a response though... |

I wrote he through her craigslist ad. I'm thinking of looking at it this weekend. |

The other thread I had about that car has more info on it as someone else also looked at it. If the pictures were anything close to what it actually looks like, I probably would have bought it. Sadly it's been sitting outside for a few years... |
