There was a 1974 2.0 at the Mecum auto auction in Pomona Ca today.
It was set to go at the end of the day, so I didn't see the results.
Does it belong to anyone here?

It did not show up on the Mecum site.it May have been a no show on the block, or sold before it made it to the block.

The Mecum program only went up to lot number S214.
The 914 was listed as lot number S241, maybe added after the program booklet was printed. The 914 was set to go up as the 4th from last car of the day.

And just a “little bit of rust”. See the pictures. New buyer flipping the car looks like.

I did take a look at it, and was tempted to bid if it was low. The bidding got up to $9,000 but did not sell or meet reserve.

You are correct, the original color was green, it shows through in some spots and where the black was flaked or rubbing off. This car may be "unrestored", but it had been converted to dual carbs. Other than the respray and who knows what bodywork, not much has been done to the car in many years. One interesting note, it did have a factory front swaybar installed.

Too bad is was repainted black, I suspect the person that did that has insecurity issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The pictures make the car look great. It is not. It’s a 10-footer if I’ve ever seen one. I would have been in for $5k, maybe even $6, but when it got to $9 and the reserve didnt get pulled I was shocked.

I feel sorry for anyone buying this car for $30.

I know everyone needs to make a living and all, but it sure seems to suck the fun out of the room when greedy flippers surface... especially the ones who don't have enough talent to fix rubber roof trim. Screams of doing it for da dollas....

I had a '74 2.0 years ago just like this, but it was truly black. It was repainted blue with steel flairs and a hot rod 3.2.
