As nice as those cars may be, unfortunetly you open up a can of worms with those claims.

Yeah, that is a nice car, but they didn't bother to show any shots of the areas that may be a problem.
I do dig the 80s style sail mirrors and the electrical tape on the heater hoses is the best in the world, no doubt. If I were to buy it I would probably save that tape when I replace them and sell the scraps on e-bay as the best used tape in the world... $23,500 is too much for that car in my opinion, even if it is a survivor (mostly). oh and that 1982 style auto reverse cassette deck is the best in the world as well...

QUOTE(sdthomas @ Jan 15 2013, 01:34 PM) Now that one looks pretty damn clean. Still, LOTS of MONEY I agree the starter relay should be in the engine compartment if used at all. |

Do I or don't I...........? Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States |
I'll have to say that the Samba car has far more worth than the evilbay car. The Samba car (quirky color, but I like it) has proven photographically that is what I would call "slick", and comcours ready with a few hours work. Appears to be very well restored, so it's not going to be considered original.
There are a number of nit-picks I have with the '76, but I love the color. "Perfect" and "nicest" are bad terms to use for any car, but the '76 has a lot of negatives. They are both worthy cars......but. The '74 is the second best performing 914-4. The '76 is not. The '74 is ready & willing to perform anywhere. The '76 is limited, and will require some serious bucks to match the quality of the '74. I feel that the '74 is fairly priced, given the costs of resto and the world market lust for these. Maybe a little high, but hey, the work is done. And, it's a significant multiple PVA national concours winner. I also feel that the '76 is a darned good base (assuming the chassis & hellhole are good), and could be a great owner. Price is seriously too high though, particularly because it isn't a well-optioned car and down on performance. I'd take the '74, in a nano, for 18k. '76 - 12K maybe. But, what do I know? Pay |

Had it less than 2 weeks? Makes one wonder if something is wrong with the car. Sure looks nice!
