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"? |

it's relative - what do y'all mean by "rust free" ?
imho - rotisserie rust-removed & panels replaced is not oem PCA preservation classs "rust free' but ymmv - whatever ya can get away with , eh? here is one that is probably your dream car - if you can afford it (or can spend $20K on a rotisserie resto to attempt to duplicate) Bob Schoenhoer's frequent PCA Concours winning preservation class car at Livermore Porsche Zone 7 Concours in 2013 |
