Hello all.
Checking out a 71 914 1.7 today as a project car. Seller says it doesnt consistently run due to fuel pump issues. Ive been reading a little about these cars, wiring corrosion is my first guess. My dad and I are looking for a "cheap" project. Something we can make a driver out of soon for somewhat cheap, and restore over time. We had a 944S as a project a few years ago. My dad has owned an X19, e29 320i, 280Z, e36 318i. I've messed around with some motorcycles. So we kinda know what we are getting into, just not super specifics about the 914. We've been talking about a bug or karmann ghia for a while, so why not a 914? The ad says its a 4 speed but arent all 914s 5 speed? The body is solid. Some corrosion underneath. Floor pans and trunk trays are no big deal to us as long it's structurally sound. Looks like a very active and helpful forum here so that's a huge positive. Any suggestions on what else to look for? |
