I met with a guy I know tonight who has a 914 for sale. It is a 1972 with a 1.7L. The car was originally from California. Supposedly the engine and transmission have been rebuilt. There is no rust on the car, and the hell hole is good. The guy says that there is a problem with the fuel injections system but the car still runs and drives. Other than that, the car is minty.
My plan for any car I get is to leave the drivetrain stock and make upgrades to the suspension and brakes. I am not planning any engine swaps unless it is a Jake Raby version at some point. I like the idea of air-cooled and I don't want to move into a mod class by putting in something else. Any comments or suggestions?

The pic looks ok I guess.... the first thing to go would be those rivieras though.
I dunno... I guess it would depend on the price... but I think that car has had quite a few mods...... parking light delete, aftermarket mirrors, rear spoiler, painted bumpers, blacked out chrome, appears to be lowered, aftermarket rocker panels, etc. Not ragging on the car.... but after all that... it has a problem with the fuel injection?? After it was recently rebuilt?? Hmmm. I'd dig a little deeper into the history of the car..... find out what the FI problem is before you buy, and don't let the seller sell you on it's "originality". Buy it because you LIKE it. Best of luck! |
