F/S I am offering this 74 914
I have owned it in phx since 2004. bought from Sacramento .
Car was originally sold in Newport Beach.
Has had the original 1.7 block replaced with a 2.0 and all the bits put back in by Don Jackson enterprises . And remained FI
Eventually bought new heads pistons cam shaft etc and had a guy build a motor for
Auto cross events. He died( RIP) and i was lucky to get all the bits back . ( never did any auto cross)
Competition engineering in Phx built the motor and put it in the car .
Had interior dolled up
Had a paint . And the paint guys lost a lot of bits . Rubber and such . Although it just needs a seal kit . And I have been nibbling one it
Finally the transaxle grinds on 2 and won’t hold 5 . Butt runs nice . I have a spare to put in but have not done it yet .
The single carb needs 2 I am told. It seems to want to breath more.
It’s been a pleasure having her my life. But she needs a 914 geek .
Or should I keep it another 16 years .? I am 53 now 17500 OBO

Love the color, but agree that she needs some work before it will fetch your price. Front trunk looks like it needs to be refreshed to deal with the surface rust. The rear trunk need an RD replacement floor and paint. Given the trunks conditions, I expect that the engine compartment and hell hole require attention. New rubber kit, trans install, fix the rust, and put on original rims, but that’s just me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Also looks like one of the tail lights has a hole in it, and the headlight covers are not aligned or too far forward.

All done I expect it would cost us six months of time and close to $20k before we were happy with the car... I have done this four times now, and we love each one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
