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 |

It may be hard for you to find a 914 after looking at Michael’s car unless you have between $100k to $150k budget. Maybe attend one of the 914 gathering and compare various restoration or running 914 and get various ideas how much you will budget for the right one for you. |
