He's only trying to get his money back out of it...

1976 914 2.0 = $9,000.00

Getting it running = $20,000.00

The look on the sellers face when he reads this thread = Priceless (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Phew, I love seeing dealers sell 914's. Though as Dr. Evil will attest, it's hard finding a rust-free 914 around here, and this had better be rust free for ~$30k! Plus '76s are practically new ;-)

Now to call Safeco and adjust my agreed value policy...

In this crazy market, in 10 years that may look like a good price in retrospect. Personally, I hope he gets every penny, makes all of the good ones jump up another notch in the minds of those who have too much money.

Yes it does. My 75 had the same when I got it, and I know it was original.

Looks original. May even have cost extra, but I think you got a free set of bagpipes with it.

Actually, $20,000 is not the much for a full resto from where I sit.

of course I do know that there was red plaid available in 75+76
but this car's interior doesn't look like the original one
compare the small photo from the samba ad with the bigger photo from the '76 marketing brochure - that's just not the same style

see the difference ??

for a $29k car I would expect correct interior ...

here's another shot of red plaid seats

nice looking, but not original

btw - plaid seats didn't ever combine with the early style center console (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
