No don't get me wrong, this looks like a very nice car, but I'd really need to see more pictures and/or it in person to validate the 28k miles. It is very nice, but it looks to me like it was parked outside or has much more than 28k miles.

- rough engine grill
- wavy bumper tops
- front tow hook appears used (pulled down)
- dash face coming unglued
- muffler rust
- door panels coming apart
- shift knob cracked

Low mileage 914s typically look much cleaner. It is neat how early and non-optioned it is though too.

-Steve


It also looks like the driver's side taillight has a couple small cracks. The passenger side jack hole cover is missing, and both door jamb vents are missing.
Wouldn't the car also have had a passenger footrest?
Also, can't really tell but it looks like there might be rust in the rain gutter that holds the front trunk seal, in the corners just behind both headlights.

Good looking car; but something needs to be done about the stance! That looks awful. I had a white '70 a couple of years back (1/70 I think). Seeing this makes me wish I would have kept it. The door vinyl was the same on mine.

If it was a creamsickle with that mileage and condition, I'd be on the phone to them. Might be a gem for somebody else.

> both door jamb vents are missing

I think early cars did not have those vents, so that is probably correct on this car.

My car is a fairly early 1970 and never had those vents. FWIW

Ok, with all these "expert " advice, who's going to utilize these comments to position a lower price for the car.....who's going to step up. I would love to, but then alimony would be next (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

IMO....this is an extremely good deal assuming the documentation and condition are as represented. The person that will buy this car will most likely already have other P cars in his/her collection and will recognize the value in the first year production and low mileage. Folks may laugh at it's current price....but in 10 years it will be worth much more. Just look at the current values of mint VW's from the 60's....

exactly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) the rear bumper top is an alarm bell,think its spent time in the sun or mileage is suspect hard to get past that.
Folks on here see it and really these points will always come up.

What's the saying, "You can't pay too much, just buy too early"?

Little things to correct:

Cluster, replace the 6 (2 on the bottom) screws with black ones.

Fuel tank, plastic peice next to the strap, goes under the strap.

My 70 # 2078 had the vents in the door jams. It was also white.

What a superb example. I dig the smooth 914-6 style door panels and that very rare to see original windshield. I have heard early 70MY 4 cyl. cars were built in Stuttgart as a pilot before handing it off to Wolfsburg, can anyone confirm that ? Maybe that explains the six style door panels. My early 70, identical to this car had a very different style bold twisted basket weave material on the dash face.

Congrats. I'm the proud owner of a 1974 1.8. I bought it in 2007, had it sent to Brad Mayeur sight unseen (lots of pics and advice from member here) and promptly put 9K into the car to get all the mechanicals and odds and ends sorted out. Funny how little things crop up and add up over 40 years.

My best friend in college had the same car as you in light ivory back in 1975 and that's when I first fell in love with our little gems. I know you'll have a blast!
