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?

Snyder You are best to listen to most everyone who has posted to this question. They have been there and done that. Anthony is correct in questioning "Why a fixer"? Exactly. Why, well if you have a pile of money and want to get rid of it quickly then go with the fixer.If you wish to buy a car that you can enjoy and drive then look for something that is ready to go.

People call me constantly asking if I have a fixer or project car for sale. The first thing I ask is what do you want the car to be.
Most just want to get in cheap. Thats is the first mistake, you are not getting in cheap, you have just opened the door to the vault, and the funds will soon be flowing out.

You can buy a 914 for $1000, then engine overhaul and trans overhaul, brake caliper rebuilds,rust repair, paint job, interior refurbish, small rubber items, bumpers, new windsheild,the list will continue, until you add it up and you could have purchased that 914 for $5000-8000 and been all done
