Five lug is avaiable in parts. I am wondering that this 914 not getting sold.
I Agree, if the milage is right, only the engine and parts are worth the asked price.
(German prices)
Maybe some welding needed, but this will not eat a lot of $$$

This car was offered for an amount of 20K $ by westside cars in Germany.
A lot of bugs only for shipping and custom fees.

For registration in germany 5 lug is a must same as 911 calipers/rotors and a roll cage must be installed.

That silver car seems to be an excellent deal for the price. I wish I had lots and lots of money..... eh the divorce would kill me.

After looking closer it really does have some nice components....Patrick Bulkhead engine mount, sideshifter tranny, interior looks to be complete and correct, dash gauges nicely done and presented with fuel in the tach, nice front cooler, modified front valence nice. The only not so nice thing is that oil line routing isn't preferred and doesn't present well...although the aeroquip oil lines are nice. If the motor can be compression and leak checked, clutch feels good and everything electrical functions I would say this is a pretty nice deal. Keep in mind that a good 5 lug conversion can easily set you back
$2-3 depending on how you do it with wheels, tires, calipers, discs and shocks. I just competed my 6 conversion and was very patient collecting parts and watching costs over many years. The total investment in parts without engine was $12K...I kept a running total of everything on a spreadsheet.

I've spoken with the owner and will see it soon. It was converted by GD Racing in 2010. Apparently it smokes a little on startup if it hasn't been run for a while, but is otherwise healthy.

Smoke at start up on a 3.2 is common...usually means valve guides are worn a bit.

I talked to the owner months ago when I was actively looking. Ask how many miles it has on the motor.

Note to all People on this Forum - don't ever let spouses to see Speadsheets or you will never see her spead out on the sheets if you get my drift (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I wonder if the motor came out of the Speedster that Canepa put a 962 motor into (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

He sent me a lot of photos. There is rust and the long on the drivers side has been replaced. The passenger side has been hit and repaired poorly. The parts are worth the asking price. If someone had a nice shell to swap this could be a good car.

I am still in the market for a clean 6.
