This car shows up on ebay every once in awhile.

Seems like a heck of a car for the price.
I'd ditch the red GT-RS side stripes, the rear spoiler and put a different steering wheel inside.
The rest is pretty good stuff.
Just my thoughts obviously.

What's wrong with this car such that it won't sell?

Nice car, but a lot of money for a 2.7. Nobody in California will touch it, due to smog requirement. Check out BAT, 3.2’s sell in this price range with 915 gear boxes.

Simple: he's asking too damn much.

If he drops it 50% it'll get some bidders, maybe past 30k.

But 50k? Nope.

The 2.7 is known as the cheap way to put a 6 in a 914. It's also one of the least desirable motors at this point. The 76 requires smog here in 914 heaven so that eliminates 50% of the market.

Something doesn't look right about the flares either. Too curvy right at the wheel edges. Fiberglass?

Nobody wants to pay $50k for a 76 with a 2.7 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

Maybe $30 if the right buyer comes along. But this is a dealer selling/flipping and that throws off more buyers.

6 useless pictures. 0 bids. Bringing it up here it would be almost $60k after the state was finished. Post transport. So you add that in too. Expensive conversion.
