Cool thread! Here are my stats:
1973 2.0 bus motor /3 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (no really! it rarely ran on all /4 - I think it was originally a 1.7 since the 2.0 badge was very obviously added on by a PO) Bought in 2007 Very little rust How complete was it? Well, besides the motor that never was intended to be in there (bus motor) and a substandard hell hole repair, it was it great shape! In fact, I still have that original dash in there. Seats were reupholstered since I had the bolsters increased somewhat, but otherwise they didn't really need it. Bought for $6,000. Didn't read the fine print closely enough (and honestly didn't know the difference) when the ad said "2.0 D-block 4-cylinder" as opposed to "A-block" ... shoulda known when the owner made a flimsy excuse and met me somewhere between where he said he lived and actually lived - found that out even though he illegally modified the CA title by blacking out his address with a sharpie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (I could still see through it). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Still, I got a great car to start with. Here's what it looked like in the ad photo:  And here she is now, with a somewhat larger engine ... somewhat modified ... just a bit here and there, really.

Err, depends on who is asking & for the written record and in case my wife ever reads this post it was whatever I told her at the time and not what is written below.......(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)
1970 914-6, numbers matching Purchased 2013 Medium amount of rust in the main shell (hope), no rust in outer panels (english wheeled aluminium) Very, very not complete and many of the unique -6 parts missing and sold when it was turned into a race car. Lots of boxed parts, most of them crap £16k (probably too much on reflection) Original 2.0 6cyl has an issue with Nr5. Suspect holed Came with a donor shell for some of the panels needed and rebuilt 2.4E MFI engine (hopefully good) Sold various small bits from the car so I guess £15.5k as it sits excluding all the new parts I have been assembling  |

I paid $4000 for a 72' -4 along with a decent amount of spares and some minor rust. I'm effectively the second owner but it lived a hard life before I got it. Basically it needs a new everything. Sadly I do not have any pics due to it being in another city getting work done. Great car and so much fun to drive! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

In 2005 I paid $2500 for my project 914
-Awesome black paint and American Racing 4-lug wheels (I would only swap for 5-lug Fuchs) -Lowered, progressive springs in rear, front and rear anti-roll bars - Drivers floor pan swiss cheese with rust from gap in window seal, but other rust is/was minor - NOT running, 1.7 - Appearance group I paid someone to replace the entire driver's side floor pan and swap in a used 1.7 TIV. Since then, 2006 and on, I've done 90% of the work to rebuild 90% of the car with awesome new parts, but haven't tweaked my ultra reliable, 22-25+ mpg, 1.7 TIV. Best deal ever? No. Any regrets? HECK NO! I'm looking forward to another 10 years of fixing and improving it. Rustoration in progress (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I paid $2500. Car was bought from the original owner. It was daily driven from 1974-1981, fun driven from 1981-1991 and under this cover in a attached garage of the owners house and not looked at, started or touched from 1991-Feb 2016.
Car is a non-running 1974 2.0 that is fully documented (including original receipt, window sticker, and receipts for all mechanical warranty or private work.) Floors, trunks are solid. Rust spots here and there on the extrior but the worst rust is in the hell hole, drivers side jam and passenger side sill. Longs are surprisingly solid. Car is original except for what's documented as Porsche dealer warranty work (like the tach), stainless heat exchangers, muffler and 8 track tape deck. Interior is also original and gorgeous!!!

 $175 - for the blue one, I bought her for the cage... Once I cut it out I don't think she's going to make it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) I bought the white/grey one 20 years ago, for $1500, solid runner, was my college DD, once I got my first job out of college, then had kids, I took her apart...unfortunately she's been that way since... |
