Checked out the free 914 in the classifieds tonight. (link)

Looks like a decent car overall. The biggest incentive is that it has a sideshifter tranny in it. The engine looks complete, but I think the tranny is the gem here. If you need a sideshifter tranny conversion, PICK THIS CAR UP! Has good "chrome" trim pieces as well as a pretty straight body. If you have the space you really should get this car.

So why am I not taking it? I've already had 4 cars that I've pulled parts off of, so I really don't need another core engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'd hate for this car to go to the scrap yard. But it has to go quick. I could deliver it for a fee.

Would love to have it, but it's a little longer walk from Napa to LA than I can take.

Since it doesn't run, the shippers get all wierd and charge extra (pushing is expensive).

I've got 4 and could possibly stand another example of fine german rust sitting in the yard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

If I had somewhere to put it, I'd probably have you snatch it for me Mark. But I have enough projects I guess. Doesn't look to bad considering the purchase price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

More than it's worth. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Especially because delivering up there would include "extra expenses" (vacation for me and the girlfriend).

Thanks for the report Mark.
Can someone take away this car?
If I take it to the steel mill, we can all do this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Thanks, Trekkor.

If no one is going to take the car I will take the transmission out of it if its still good. Mines not switching into second gear. I can't put it into second gear by hand ether so its something wrong with the gear box.

I just went up and picked some parts off of the "Free Car". It is a good parts car and could even be restored. most of the fenders look good and solid. It has some of the usal rust in the usal places but there are plenty of good parts left! Heck the bottom dash pad is in great shape!

Some one should go pick this thing up! Maybe HPH would like the parts? Brad??

Brad did post in another thread that he did need a 914....mabey someone could wrap it with a ribbon and drop it off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I can't believe it's not gone.........If I lived a bit closer, I'd take it.........
