This thread is to document the restoration of the newest member of my family. After my 1973 914 2.0L was totaled a month ago I was heartbroken, but out of the ashes(and insurance money) rose Calypso.
She is a 1974 2.0L. It is not fully loaded(no sways, chrome bumpers, or aluminum sills) but is COMPLETELY original. It has a few blemishes that I have found so far, and certainly I will find more as i get to know her better. Attached image(s) |

I don't know. I think that it depends on your financial situation. These cars are climbing in value, even in a horrible economy. Very nice, original cars aren't growing on trees, and if you really love this one, you may want to think twice. On the other hand, if it does not really hold a place in your heart and you can make a substantial return on your investment, then flip the thing and see what you can find with your proceeds. Sixteen large will buy a pretty nice car, depending on what you want to do with it.
