Well, I'm pretty excited! Always wanted a 914 but I've been stuck in the 911 world for quite some time, not that that's a bad thing.
Anyway, is there anything I should be looking for as far as spare's go? I'm driving it from LA back to Kansas City in a couple of weeks and while the car has been a daily driver and is good to go mechanically I know old cars, and anything can happen. Here's a pic. It's a 73 1.7, one owner since 74. Anybody know what this color is? Thanks, Bill Attached image(s) |

Spare throttle cable.
Throw away coveralls, you can pick them up for $3-$4 per pair for if you have to crawl under the car at the side of the road. Some spare fuses. Duck Tape. Pair of vice grips, along with the usual metric tools. Test light. Spare ignition switch. If your flying in to pick it up, get a plastic ammo box to use as a tool box. They lock and are heavier plastic than most tool boxes, so the airline can't break it on you. |
