After The Beer Run we hosted a few weekends ago, this happened. I was taking my friend JP to the airport. He had spent the weekend driving my 72 1.7 and was returning home to Vegas. We had a little time to kill so we stopped off at a coffee shop and he pulled up our local Craigslist to see if there was anything interesting. One of the 1st things he found was an add for a 914 with a V8. He thought it looked like something he may be interested in and the price seemed reasonable if it was half as good as it looked, so we called. There was no answer so I figured it was a fake add and I could start to expect random spam calls in the near future.
I took JP on to the airport and worked my way back to the shop to tuck my car in. Just as I was about to pull the car in, my phone rings. It's the seller from Craigslist and he still has the car.
I call JP and he has just boarded the flight but is still very interested in the car. So I pull the car back out into the pouring rain and make my way up to Vancouver. The weather continues to worsen and as I am pulling into Vancouver, I get a call from my wife that they have just issued a tornado warning for the area (not a normal thing in this part of the country. )
This is a short video of what I found
