I suspect anybody bidding on the car knows these cars - so if they want to bid $12K it's cool with me. That said, what is with the response questioning someone's definition of "rust" - reminds me of the Clinton scandal... well, define "is" hahaha.

Anybody can look at the pic on Ebay and see that the whole right console will have to be replaced. the "I assume other 914s have this problem" statement tells me the seller is implying they don't know much about 914s... and only the most known problem with the cars... then comes here and says he wheels and deals 2 sixes this year alone and implies he knows them. So the ad is shady already.

I did not have sexual relations with that six.

My 72 had less visible rust on the console and I punched right through the firewall into the interior of my car with a screwdriver (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Seeing the rust around the batt tray and the rust immediately underneath on the bottom side... and the cracking in the structure... to do a good restoration would require a console. but that is rather straight forward these days and somebody out there is willing to do it.

But "rust free project" is just hilarious when half of the pictures show surface rust to worse. I have yet to see an ebay ad without a "fish this big" sensational story to go with it, and they won't show you the fish with a ruler next to it, but you look around the pics and notice a beer bottle sitting on the counter next to it, and the beer is bigger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
