Check out this auction. Link

Anytime I see a 1974 Black 914, I think LE. I noticed the auction and that the seller has a second auction with more photos of the car. Link 2The black painted sail panel jumped out at me. Front spoiler is missing, wrong wheels and bumpers, but hey, those things got changed and can be changed back.

Anyone near West Chester Ohio to give it a look see?

I just got back.


John, your right about getting killed, and this would have been a great car too.

The girl that owns it paid $6550 for it last year. All serial numbers are the same 4742914783 paint code is L041

door jam sticker still there, (painted around).

Cowl rubbers channels are bondo'd over and painted over.

Missing windshield trim.

Yes those brackets someone asked about are there. No other parts exist.

Interior in poor condtion but used to be nice (recently ).

It has been repainted, it was a great car before she wrecked it several times.

There is incredible damage to the floor of the front trunk and passenger compartment.

The car doesnt look straight

Strangely, there is no rust in the engine bay.

The car is carb'd.

There is a little rust behind the drivers seat but only on the inside.

The damage to the back end is worse than it looks in the pics, the passenger fender is pulled tight and the drivers side is buckled out.

The car does not sag. She was a big girl and I had her get in the passenger seat, close the door and open it. The gap didn't move at all.

The only rust hole I could find was in the passenger side front fender.

The rear trunk lid is folded over.

Tail light destroyed.

The passenger outside latch doesnt work, there is no rear truck lock, the tranny is broken, the car runs,

No signs of yellow paint.

I would consider buying the car if I could get it for about what its listed for today and I had someplace to keep it until I could
1. have it dipped and
2. pay someone to put it on a stretcher.

It is pretty twisted. It just doesnt look right up and down. But on the other hand there is much less rust than I have seen on a 914 in a long time,

except for Johnman's cars and mine.

So if you want to take it apart and put it on a frame stretcher, then I say its a good car.

So, there is my opinion.
