I've seen the car. The owner works at Auto Edge in Mahtomedi. I unfortunately know nothing about it, but I would assume that if it's owned by an employee at a reputable shop that it should be in ok shape?

Did not know the owner worked at a shop My question is why would he not get it tuned and adjusted at his shop? |

Why do many mechanics have 1/2 done project cars? Happens all the time.

Why do Bodyshop owners drive cars that look like Rat-Rods (but not on purpose)?

Seems kind of silly to have a wide-bodied 914 like that unless you plan on replacing the engine with something to match.

I agree
When I asked about a big bore kit the owner did not know said he would call the previous owner Sounds funny to me |

Not enough speakers for the stereo? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) a little too much 'personal taste' on the interior for me.

That stuff can be ripped right out - make no mistake, that is exactly what I would do.
