I recently purchased a 75 1.8 in Metallic Copper L99K.
I wasn't really looking for a 914 but my wife alerted me to it on FB. I'm usually skeptical about teeners for sale online and I'd pretty much given up hope of finding a relatively rust free 914 that didn't require years on jack stands to be roadworthy for a reasonable price. This one met all the criteria and then some. The seller posted some fairly good pics including the underside. It looked surprisingly clean in pics and even better in person. It started, ran, and drove reasonably well in sellers' backyard. Story was, it belonged to the sellers brother who purchased it of Texas 20+ years ago. He drove it for a couple of years, it developed some oil leaks, he parked it and he had health issues. It was acquired by his son or grandson who had the engine rebuilt by Tony Proasi (who took 1.5 years to get around to rebuilding it), but decided it was too small for him and turned his attention to a Miata, hence the sale. Here's the first pic:  |
