Sorry to keep bugging people about PPIs. But I'd rather bug you all for a couple of days, and get the right thing, rather than buy a POS, and be pissed for a few years.

Here's the car.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/car/68916671.html

I just talked to the guy. Name is Brad. It was his Dad's car, original owner, and he's passed so he's selling it. Original FI. Looks like a 1.8. So it'll be a DOG to drive, but if the structure is good, I've got a good 1.7 here at home.

He says he is in LA off of SunSet by Dogers Stadium. I've got his number if anyone can swing by and take a look for me. He said any time is good.

Thanks guys...hopefully I won't need to keep posting PPI requests...

Maybe this could be a WCC event. 70 914s roll up for the biggest PPI in history. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

I'm hoping to take delivery of SOMETHING on Friday...I've got it down to 3 cars...but this one just popped up...

That WOULD be funny though...

I wasn't knocking the FI...just the 1.8. (I'm used to my 2.0)

I'm probably going to end up re-doing another 914 soon, so cheaper is better right now. Just looking for a solid starting point. one-owner cars make me smile too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Being a '71, the only way it would be a 1.8 POS is if they bought a Genex Rebuilt or changed engines...It would be the "powerful" 1.7 you speak so highly of.

He's only about 35 miles below Camarillo.

It would either turn into a fistfight between the PPIers or the guy would haul out an Ooozzzzie and shot us all for bashin' his car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Ok, enough...I apologise for knocking the almighty 1.8. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

I've driven all three in the past, and the 1.8 was a turd compared to the 1.7 and 2.0s that I've had access to.

Slower than a Turd if it was the smog engine!

Genex told me they would not rebuild a 1.7.....they would only produce a 1.8 and 2.0.

Nobody is bashing a potential buyer from Shaker Heights....I jus wanted to piss off Mike.

He is about 45 min away on the freeway, from my house or Scotts.

I would highly reccomend that car over mine, if all checks out. It costs more, but from the looks of it you'd get alot more per $ than mine.

As far as mine goes, sorry I haven't gotten you more recent pics, last weekend's events were much more time intensive than expected. I'll try and do it this evening.

As in "stuck rear calipers".........or..........the hand brake cables are so corroded they won't release.

#1 is a bad problem

#2 can be taken care of with bolt cutters.


Edit...you buy it, I have a set of good to go rears that will fit that you can have to drive it home!
