Interior is faded, but very presentable. I never did check for dash top cracks.

It's too bad this shot looks like on of Andy's. I have an excuse; it's a new camera. You can't really see how nice the longs and pan is on this car.

It was hard to see the hell hole, but what I could see looked good. Under the battery is definitely OK. Car passed smog (being sold at a dealer, Colorado law).

Maybe not. The dealer salesman told me they did some bodywork on it but he couldn't remember what. Talking to Ferg yesterday he said he had looked at it sometime earlier and there was a rust hole in one of the front fenders. By the time I got there to look at it there was no rust hole to be found. Definitely buyer beware. I'd have to crawl all over it if I were a potential buyer. Especially after hearing that. And $7k? I don't think so.

It's also got pedrinis on it - unless it's been modified or the wheels have been modified to fit newer hubs those are rare pedrinis that fit newer cars.

eh?

Those rims where made for both early and late style. You have to check the serial number on the rim to determine. Strong likely hood they are late style (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Look for a solid original or mostly rebuilt car to avoid this.

How bad was the 308? I sold a '65 Maserati Sebring basket case because I didn't have the $15k to rebuild the motor, $10-20k for body work, not to mention interior, suspension, miscl parts. Most parts are NLA so folks can charge whatever they wanted...

Dang, I might just have to trek up to Boulder this week, give it a real close inspection and see what kind of price can be negotiated....just looked at a '73 911T here in the Springs Monday.....not worth the $9200 price!

jaider.....my Ferrari was immaculate body/interior/rust wise; needed timing belts/gears/flywheel/clutch done ($12k right there...) Then rear wheel bearings (same as 911), both fuse boxes.....straw that broke Camel's back was timing cover bearing went bad: $600 parts and 22 hours labor!

That 914 in Boulder runs about as much as a full 30k mile service on my ex-308!

I did see that car prior to the body work, there was some serious rust on the drivers front fender down by where it meet the drivers door. bubling from behind, so I would look carefully around the windshield and underneath the front by the blower motor ect. The owner/sales dude was less than friendly when I was looking at the car a month ago, but claimed he has owned dozen's of 914's over the years, blah blah blah. I do know of one other person who bought a 914 from him 10 years ago, supposedly with only 14k orig miles... I have seen the car and would question that claim.
Buyer beware.

Sounds like a pass, may still go up Saturday, if nothing else a good ToGo's #9 will make it worth the trip. Doubt dealer has much wiggle room on price if they had to repair/paint the car.....

I really liked the 914 featured in the last issue of Excellence, like the removal of roll-bar chrome and lip....very nice and clean look; would not want to do that to a pristine car, so maybe I will just keep looking for a solid 'project' car....

Anyone going to car show @ Arapaho College Sunday?
