New to the forum and the car. Was pointed to it by an aficionado on The Samba— I have a ‘59 Karmann Ghia. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=723793
He suggested that the people on this forum were the brain trust for all things 914 and that I should vet one here that has caught my eye on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-914-113/ Any insight would be appreciated! |

Looks like a nice unmolested car. Frustrating over-redundancy with the pics, none of them really showing the critical areas of the car. Longs, ears, hell hole and like that. Being sold by a dealer so they probably have no clue. Or, they do...
That said, it could be very solid, just hard to know. 75-76 have the emissions regulated exhausts that make the engine run hotter and rob some power. That can be backdated as long as you’re not in Kalifornia. It’ll also have the gauge display with the EGR and CAT lights on it. Not a big deal. Again, as long as it’s solid, seems like it’s worth a look. Would be worth a PPI. If’n it was a little closer... HTH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

HTH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Yes, it’s just over the border from me— I already have an inquiry in to the seller for a visit! I clearly will pour over it and take the missing photos for comment. Is there a non-destructive way of removing the rocker covers? Don’t rivets have to be popped? Really nice to know I can peel off some of the emissions stuff! I am going to look closely at this one— already a bargin in that I could just drive it home! Thanks! |
