I was looking at this 1.8 for sale and it had a shot of front end. What are the red circles? Horns? Ground effect lights? Warp speed sensors?

That is interesting. I guess because of crash bumpers you can't have them in the same location as 70-74 models. I assume they must be waterproof because of the location.
The ad says nearly 40, 000 dollars was invested into this 914 to bring it to its current level. Some people may like the white interior but I don't. |

I may have no idea what I am talking about but I find it hard to see the $40K in this car. Maybe it was a basket case and they were just in too deep? But if I am dropping $40k into a car I would expect the engine to at least look this good.
 This is just a few hours and some paint. But I guess the $40 could have been spent on mechanical items but that is decent 6 money???? |

Its easy to find flaws with any car, I appreciate any example that is well done and proliferates the 914.

I guess I was not really saying the car was flawed. I fail to follow how anyone who could spend $40K and be content with such a rough finish. I would take the finish in a second for $10 to $15 but not $40. |

I see a lot of Armor All was invested that's for sure. Cool white interior though! I'd drive it.

Easy to get to 40k if you pay someone else to restore a car.....
Full paint alone could be 10k with body work. Then have someone rebuild the motor. Then then then... 40k would be easy if you let it happen and don't watch the budget. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) I am guessing Mike's point is $40,000 is a lot of money (is the price of the car on top of the $40,000?). That is getting near 914/6 range for a 914. I would also wonder why the investment, but I would not doubt the cost is that high. Labor is expensive and it takes many hours to bring these back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) All 914s can be picked at.
