I have your number Troy and will give you a call.

Rich, welcome back man!

So here is the report: Owner not there (college kid) so I poked around best I could.

Paint - Pretty nice, usual paint chips here and there. Mostly around the door edges and front. Only one little rust bubble just behind the drivers door panel. Could easily just be waxed and look really nice.

Rust - Tough to do with everything locked up, but no rust under sail panel vinyl, no other rust bubbles I could find anywhere. Stuck my fat head under as far as I could, longs look great from bellow. Shoved my hand up the rear wheel well trying to poke for rust, could'nt get anything to pick or scrape off. Couldn't see anything but old undercoating, it felt really solid. There is a Optima red top in the car and I could see a battery clamp holding it in place, so looks like even the battery tray is solid. No front pan rust that I could see. No surface rust along the cowell (lower windshield)

glass - all there, no cracks or de-lamination. Rear window de-frogger.

Tires/wheels - nice, very nice, probably not that old.

Top - nice finish still. rear corners just a little chewed up, but not bad at all. headliner and front bulster still in place and very nice.

Int - Very nice. with exeption of what looked like a repair patch on drivers seat. Center console with gauges all in very nice shape. VERY nice carpet, not stock. I couldn't find one crack on the dash, but there was a sun shield blocking some of the view. Backpad/ seats and door panels are tan. New carpet was black. Very nice looking inside.

Shocks - all 4 shot - didn't see any sway bars.

Locks - car was locked, so they probably work.

E-Brake - may not work or may not be set correctly. Car was parked on a hill with wheel turned in and resting pretty heavy against it.

Eng - well, didn't hear it run of course. But it is still FI and looks stock. Muffler is shot, but a really cool dual tip desing with a nice mathcing rear valiance. I would replace the mufflers and keep the system. I imagine is sounds really nice. One muffler is blown out.

Overall - $4500, probably a little steep. I don't think this 914 has any rust that would make me turn away. It if runs out good, drives straight, new shocks, mufflers.... I would say $3600-4000. It is a really nice 914 that no one has F'd up yet.

Troy - I will call you with this report, but wanted to get what I could down before I started to forget it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
