Potential '72... help a rookie with your thoughts. Options

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.

From the pics it looks good but I would make sure you get into the longs. Without knowing what's hiding I think it's a good looking car, if the longs are in rough shape it's only worth as much as you are willing to put into it.

I suspect the engine is going to need some TLC.just by the condition of the hoses. As long as stuff like the mps is still good, none of that should be too expensive. It's the body work....

And yeah, see if one of us are in your area and we could help. Dr914 also has a helpful video up on YouTube.
