914 World:
I know somebody that is looking to sell their 914. They've had it for longer than I've known then (20 years), it's been garaged until last year and it's been under a cover on a driveway since then. As I'm their friend they said, "do you want it for $3000?". After seeing the pictures of it (haven't seen it in person), I can only assume it's worth more than that. I told them that I could not, in good conscience, purchase it at a price that may be 2 or even 5 times lower than it's value and I would help research the value of the car. It looks like it was modified to 5 lug wheels and outfitted with phone dial rims at some point. If ya'll could, I'd appreciate it if you could look at the album linked below and give me your thoughts. I'll see if I can't put a few pictures in this post to help out as well. I did, but sorry for the massive size. Album of pics.

As stated above
Pull the rockers on any 914 before purchasing Rust will add 10k to the repairs And traditionally previous owners are often not aware or even choose to be not aware of rust |
