I'm checking out a '75 that looks pretty clean from the pictures. What I want to know from AX veterans is what drawbacks, if any, would this model year pose for autocrossing. I've heard that the bumpers are heavy, but is there anything about the engine or suspension that would be less suitable in the stock form. Price is not bad at a grand.
Also, the owner calls it a rare euro model. What would that be? Thanks for the help. |

I believe they have lower compression, not sure.
Definitely has smog pump (air injector), and crappy exhaust if still stock. As Mike says, at least it does not need to be smogged and you can mod it without worry. Many folks have these and Ax them just fine....might take a little more work to get real competitive VS an earlier car with 2.0L engine. sounds to me like you should get this car and start transferring parts from that earlier car you have (had?).

Dan, I sold that car and have been looking for another one ever since. There's lots for sale right now, but there's always two or three guys ahead of me with their wallets open.
I do have lots of early 914 parts tho' which I could use. If only I still had those rims I sold you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |
