Deciding on another 914, test drive Options

[Long_ago]

HI - I just joined. I bought a new 914 in 1973. Drove it 100,000 problem free miles and sold it.
i'm giving a lot of thought to buying another. i've looked around - and see the normal types of problems with a 50-ish year old car.

If I move forward - I'll be looking for a car that has minimal rust. I can do a lot - but I'm not a body fabrication guy.

I'm at a crossroads. My car was a long time ago - and I'd like to clarify to myself what reality is. Cars have come a long ways.

I certainly realize a 914 is a very basic car compared to the computers with a car wrapped around them of today.

I don't see or know of any 914s around me.
I'm in Central CA - 1 hour below Sacramento.
I'm looking for suggestions where I might be able to go to see 1. and a quick ride.
to sort out if I want to pursue buying one.
thanks

Since you are in CA, don't get a '76 unless you want to spent countless sleepless hours worrying about smog.

Other than that, my best advice is to buy the best one you can afford. That sometimes can also mean buying someone else's project that they didn't finish.

There are 3 major issues with 914s that you need to look out for:

1 - Rust
2 - Corrosion
3 - Fe2O3•32H2O
