Hello I'm hoping you can help me figure out if I made a good deal or not. I purchased a 1976 914 for $2,000. It has pretty bad rust in the passenger longitudal. When you jack the car up it flexes and you can not open the door. Other than that it is in fair shape.
The service records go back to 1978 and it is believed to have a genuine 79,000 miles. It will need a repainting in the factory yellow color as the one bare metal repainting is not holding up well. The interior is in good condition with the exception of the yellow tartan on the seats. It is a heavily optioned car with A/C, fog lights, Fuchs wheels and the original fuel injection still in place. The smog pump is present also but not plumbed up. It is not running and I am a told it needs trigger points in the distributor - any help finding a set would be appreciated. What are your thoughts? Thank you, Ben |
