Thanks, I check with him - I don't want to ask anybody travel a long ways.
If nobody is in the area I will just have to make a decision based on what I know.

You get anyone? I'm East of there in Racine. You can also call on Brad - 914ltd. I think he's South a bit in Illinois.

I would be very hesitant to buy a Midwest car without a PPI. They salt the roads heavily up here. I bought one here just for parts. It was beyond rusty. I imported one from Az.

Hell hole looks amazingly good for a midwest car. That's good. My concern would be when was the last time the brakes were rebuilt. These calipers are prone to sticking when a car sits too long. If they stick when your in route home that could suck. I've disassembled calipers in a parts store parking lot before and cleaned varnish off a piston to keep driving. Chit happens (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Good luck with the road trip. I love em! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

There should be a few guys along your route if you get in a pickle.

No one yet, but I haven't sent out any PM's either.
The owner is a 356 nut, has owned 3 914's including a 6, 25 year PCA member.
He says no rust and sounds like a stand up guy.
He is also taking more pictures for me (back of the rear trunk, floors from underneath), but here are a couple more that make me believe him so far.
The brakes are certainly part of the concern as I am not sure how often he drives this car. I will be sure to be specific about that during our next conversation.

Thanks I'll give you a call.
I am back to leaning toward shipping it, as much because I really don't have the time as anything else.
So I mostly want somebody to look it over for rust and maybe drive it around the block and report on how it starts, runs, shifts and stops.

Did the owner say anything about a repaint? You can see the wire harness in the front trunk is sprayed silver.

Yes he did tell me.
He did not have it repainted and has owned it for I think he said 3 years, so it is an older job.
The car came out of the SW so that is why it is not rusted.

So far he has been firm at $6900 with a low mileage motor with 40's that is supposed to be very strong. Everything is supposed to work.
thoughts?

The sheet metal in the front trunk looks like the GT reinforcements....

Otherwise the car looks really good.
Are you gonna tell us the details, or are we to remain in suspense until you finish the deal :-)

To me, the bottom looks pretty rusty. I'm going to the regional pca meeting tonight, I could ask and see if anyone know's the guy or the car.

It's not rust free. Need some better pictures. I might have time this weekend to look at it. PM me if you don't hire a pro. They will cost you some $ but they will do compression checks that I can't help you with. BTW $6900 seems high from what I see in the pictures.
