FS '75 2.0 Baja 914 Options

[Mendivil26]

Testing waters to evaluate if I sell as is before I continue with more serious mods like cutting fenders and adding roll cage.

I got this 914 back in 2018 from a gentleman in Palmdale, CA. It ran and drove but all the typical rust issues were there, hell hole, floor pan and rear trunk area all had holes. It also had the original 2.0l but someone converted to single weber carb.

Work that has been done to it as follows:

• Stripped out interior
• Custom fabricated aluminum dash
• Aluminum Doorcards
• New Floorpan half rear section from restore design installed.
• New SS fuel lines installed
• Rear bilstein shocks with longer springs and coilover sleeves for suspension lift.
• Front suspension work by Clint @RSR products, lowered spindles, bump steer kit, new rubber bushings, ball joints & turbo tie rods.
• New Front brake lines & Master Cylinder.
• New Front wheel bearings.
• Whole car rewired, all new wiring is a lot simpler.
• Replaced original rusty fuel tank with a cylindrical aluminum dune buggy tank.

It is still an ongoing project, so some of the major details that I would recommend taking care of are:

• Hell Hole and rear trunk floor rust are still there.
• Some minor body damage on lower passenger door, as well as a large ding on the front right corner. Fenders were slightly rolled to fit the larger UTV tires. I like the look of it as it is, but it's not for everyone so bodywork and new paint might be a top priority for some.
• Figure out some wiring gremlins for accessories like lights and horn, had to cut/unplug to move some things around but couldn't put it back together properly.
• Alignment, have to adjust the new turbo tie rods.
• Bleed the brakes (I might do this before anyone come see it so we can drive it around the block).
• Typical 1st gear grind, I got used to it and know my way around it but a rebuild wouldn't hurt.

Will come with a few small extras, I no longer have the Fuchs it came with but I do have a separate set of 15in Dan Gurneys with street tires, currently running 14in vw lot mag wheels with 26in UTV tires. I no longer have any of the bumpers or interior upholstery, only the rear rubber bumper top.

Some pics of the vehicle throughout its life with me, you can see additional pictures and videos of it running on my instagram Page @914.patina

The day I got it:


Before stripdown with existing Dan Gurney wheels & street tires.


Stripped interior and custom dash.


New Front suspension before installing.


New Fuel Tank with stripped down Frunk.


As it currently sits:


Car runs and drives so anyone can feel free to come get it and drive it home if they're close by, or it will drive itself into the tow truck.
Asking $10k to get back what I've put into it, I understand it's still a big project for anyone, so if I can't get something close to that I might just keep it and continue with the project.
