On the plus side, shipping it out of state would be easier as it conveniently folds in half.

The rust is so deep. It's like it was sitting right on the beach for 40 years. Pretty gutsy to put that thing up on a lift and walk under it! It's ready to fall apart!

Attached Image

The longs are totally gone on both sides. Amazing.

Someone must follow that thing around with a dustpan and broom.

If there were a contest for the most rusted 914 this one would come in second I think. I do not know how my 914 brothers fell but for me just looking at the pictures hurt.

I can see the heater tube on the drivers side.

Something to think about. Who here has replaced:

Front and rear floor pan

Outer longs / repaired inner

By changing those parts, the car is no longer folding in half. I've seen quite a few cars on this list stripped bare getting a full restoration, starting with this car isn't going to be much worse.

If the paint was shiny, it would not look so sorry.

I cant tell if you are kidding but i have to assume you are given there is not a salvageable piece of metal on that car. Every single panel has a hole in it.

You would want to find PN-91450177913 to do anything with this heap

Well, I surmise the lug nuts might still be useable, however, I don't need any.

$ 3,500 is way to much, all exterior trim is missing.

If someones floor pan has a small hole or a large one, the labor to change the pan is the same. Rusted longs? small or big hole, same amount of work to replace.

I don't see any rust holes in the RF fender / door.

You guys in non road salt areas have no idea what rust is. Your 40 year old cars look better in terms of rust than a 4 year old car here.

Is the car worth fixing? Not really because of the abundance of better cars that offer more value.
