Was rooting around in the "donated 1974 2.0 and found a bill in the center console from 12/99.
The guy spent $2000 on clutch, tranny R&R with new seals, shifter bushings, etc. at one of the local P-car shops. One known for charging a lot. When I swap motors I guess I will swap trannys too. Actually, it will make it easier to leave the tranny on the motor. dr |

It's possible that these cars might be worth something if people start fixing them right. The biggest VW trait the 914 has in my mind is the cheap owners who do it for 50 cents with duct tape and hose clamps. If people would start doing things the right way and get some nice cars out there then it might bring up the perception of these cars which would drive up the asking prices for nice cars.
Imagine a concours event where there are 4 or 5 or even 10 really nice 914s in real competition for best of show. Perception comes before value. |
