Currently own a 911 SC and looking to purchase a solid fix-'er-upper 914. Thanks to this board and Doug Hardman (aka CptTripps) I've learned a great deal about 914's over the last several weeks. What should I expect to pay for a solid 914 that I can drive and fix up? Anybody have a project that fits the bill?

This was my first teener. It was a lot of fun... paid $3500 for it. It had its fair share of good, and bad.

Good:
1.7 engine with dual Webers... ran great.
Side shifter tranny worked well
No rust Arizona car
No crack in dash or glass
Fuchs

Bad:
Paint was a "6".. barely
Foglight grills were all "ghetto'd" up
Ugly luggage rack
Horribly ugly seat inserts
Electrical problems out the wazoo
Cost me nearly $1000 to get it to St. Louis (including PPI)

All in all though....... not a bad deal I don't think. I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly...... but I think I got a great deal on both cars I've bought..... so the deals are out there.... just gotta look.... and be prepared to buy on the spot.

Best of luck (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
