Is this 75 roller worth $1k ?? Options

[Doug73/2.0]

I spotted a local 75 for sale. No motor or tranny. Story told is one owner 47K miles but the motor sieged and was tossed with the tranny long ago. Car last registered in 85. Claims to have been garaged since. I'm going back Wednesday to take a closer look. At quick glance the body looks rust free but strangely the interior is pretty worn for only 47K miles. drivers seat is NG and lots of cracks on the dash, carpets pretty worn. The yellow paint is probably a repaint. Looking over the rear wheels the trailing arm tie points are spayed yellow. I don't recall seeing that area normally painted same as the body. I'll bring a camera and see if I can post pictures. Current owner is a Porsche repair shop who says they got it when the owner moved last month and had to get it out of his garage.

Any thoughts...Thanks Doug

i don't like the spray around the trailing arms. what are they hiding?

as long as it's at a shop, get the car up on the lift. poke around w/ a screwdriver, look CLOSELY for rust. particularly on the drivers side (under the battery). it's there, just a matter of how much. of course, post pictures!

from the sound of it, i doubt if that roller would go for 1k on the west coast (i wouldn't pay), but it might out east. still, unless you're looking for a project, i'd wait for a complete, running car to come around. much more fun! buy the best 914 you can afford -- it will be cheaper in the long run
