There are so many used parts available for 914's it dawned on me the cars rot around the parts.
The one we have in currently has been taken care of by the original owner and it still has hell hole issues. Always garaged in central California the guy washed and waxed on a regular basis. With rain tray in place, the sides (opposite ends of rain tray) are open, the water pours in over the battery. That aspect is a poor design at best. Don't get me wrong, I'm hooked the 914 but the poor things are like open windows in a house during a rain storm, the wood floors will suffer. At times I read rust free 914 for sale. Is it possible to have an "original rust free 914"? |

Owned since day one. Always garaged and covered. I can only recall 3-4 times I've ever driven it in the rain using the wipers. Engine and battery covered when I wash it. If there's rust, it's hidden deep in the unibody caverns and I'm not cutting into it to find out! Dave that is a beautiful car! I sure would not worry about if or how much is in it with the care you have given it , it surely is one of the 1%ers, a true survivor. you can tell by the condition of the rubber bumper covers that it has seen very little UV light. |
