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

There's quite a few members up in the central Cal area, so you'll be in good company.

There are several good sources for new/repro and used parts, both from brick & mortar establishments and members on this forum. Most of the commercial vendors are also long standing members here.

I'm probably forgetting some, but here's a start. I'm sure others here will complete the list ...
