I could have bought this car for $2500 or maybe less when it was first listed here in WA on CL and passed on it after he sent me some pictures like this one. And if the driver side looked that bad I can only imagine what the hell hole looked like. There are still no pictures of that area. I couldn't believe it resold so fast for $4800 on Samba and people thought that was a good deal! I don't understand what makes it so desirable. Aubergine? Tan interior? Both cool and unique but in the end it needs a full restoration like any other old rusted out 914. I see decent $10k drivers all the time I would buy way before this thing. I don't get it.

Wasn't it P.T. Barnum who said "there is a sucker born every minute"?

well i should be careful, when i bought my car 9 years ago i didn't know anything about "hell holes" and "longs" and "jack point rust" , but i paid $2000 for a non- running car with rusted out jack point and rear longs- i got lucky as it did not have hell hole rust. but to pay more than $15k or $20 k for a rusted out car? that think looks like it could snap in half getting loaded onto transport
