hello all
i'm looking to replace my urs4 with something more fun to drive and more economical... i've always liked the 914 and now seems like my opportunity to own something that'll be fun in the sun... my driving experience other than the urs4 includes a mk2 mr2, so i'm really looking forward to something that'll take the corners hard!! here's the question... with a budget of around 5K, is it possible to get a good conditioned 914? after seeing the thread on $50 paint jobs, i can deal with a 914 that needs paint and missing stereo (i would have swapped out the stock unit anyways) if so... please point me to the right direction... i value the members opinion in that if y'all know of a 914 in good condition, let me know!! further, are there 914 restoration specialists in southern california who charge a reasonable rate?? last question.... have any of y'all changed the speedometer to something that'll accomdate modern highway driving speeds?? thanks!! |

the 73-76 cars had 150 mph speedo's but the cars can only do 115 mph so you shouldnt have any problems on a modern freeway with the speedo. $5000 will buy a decent 914 in Cali |
