It has a rebuilt 1.7L engine with dual Weber 40s, carb cam, 009 distributor, electronic points, and new fuel pump and filters. Fuel tank has been removed and flushed with new fuel lines front and back. New brake lines all around, new 19mm brake master cylinder and new 195/50/15 tires. New battery, new ignition switch, new turn signal stalk, new relays, and a new engine wiring harness. Brand new CV joints on each side of the transaxle. Over $3500 of parts and labor have been put into this car in the last 18 months to make it drivable and street legal. The odometer says 30156, but is only five digits and I don’t know if it has rolled over at some point in it’s 47 years.

This is a wonderful car and runs pretty smoothly, and would be a great weekend car to drive to the park or take out on date night for someone who likes a car with a little patina and enjoys tinkering. Or it’s a great car to do a rebuild, as most major parts have been replaced already and you could put them right back on after body and paint was done. This is a strip down, a paint job, and a rebuild away from being a $20k 914. I just don’t have those resources or time anymore. I need to move on to my next stage of life that includes a reliable daily driver that can take me to work 30 miles each day.

I'll take cash, cashiers/certified check, Apple Pay, Pay Pal

I'll post a little history in the next comment if you want to read through that.

I had the same problem and thought I needed to rebuild the transmission but it ended up being maladjusted shift linkage.

I had the same problem and thought I needed to rebuild the transmission but it ended up being maladjusted shift linkage.

I was actually driving the car to my mechanic to fix the shift linkage and bushings when the problem first showed up. I thought that them fixing the linkage might fix it as well, but he let me know that it was something with the transaxle itself. I researched it and found that it does seem to be a common problem that develops over the years. The solution is to pop open the back of the transaxle and replace the first gear parts. Not too difficult of a job if you have the right facilities (lift, proper tools) which I don’t.
