Ahh Hello?, Introduction Options

[KeithTurk]

Hi my Name is Keith Turk, I’ve recently acquired 2 914’s, the first is a $500 project car for my 15yr old grandson Kristian, and the second because I liked the idea so much for myself, a nice enough car bought off Tucson’s Craig’s list from a lying scoundrel

The first has been flared in the back and doesn’t run, ( I need a 1.8 engine for it ) and the second is a running ratty car with Zero rust.

Having done the rust thing in the past... I wanted one from the Southwest .... it’s Very nice but incredibly rough. Especially anything that can fade or weather harden from the sun. ( I like the NO RUST part enough to love the patina.).

I’ll try and post a couple of pictures up....what’s the best way to do that here? I’ve got an I Cloud account but have never posted from it.

Thanks in advance
Keith

There was no such thing as a “Factory Air” on any 914. They were all aftermarket AC units installed by the dealer. Some dealers did nice work. Some didn’t.

Simply shows an impulse/emotional purchase and a significant lack of due diligence on my part. The unit isn’t all that bad but my grandmother coulda told you it wasn’t factory. (And she’s been dead for years ) my issue was he called it “factory air” and in my uneducated opinion that was worth something. All of that pales in comparison to it being a documented Arizona car
