Hey guys! I recently picked up this new to me 914 barn find for 500$. I believe it’s a 1974 model and I’m not sure what engine. Looks to have 35k miles on it. Everything’s there but seems to be in rough shape but I’m excited to start working on it. The hell hole has a rust hole in it, but besides that, being in Arizona there isn’t any other rust anywhere!
Anyone know what type of engine it is? Got a brand new carburetor to go with it but gotta find a Haynes manual haha. I believe the wheels are 15’ and would you think I would be able to mount 195/55/15 on them? The original tires are dry rotted. Big pickup or big mistake? Would love to hear your opinion! Here are some pictures. Pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

It’s a ‘74 according to the tag and the bumper tits in rear. For $500 you definitely scored! How big a score depends on the rust situation and engine id. The console with gauges is a valuable option.

I haven’t gone through several boxes of spare parts but I’m hoping that the odometer glass is in there. |
