I found this '71 914 for $2,500. It runs but has some issues with the linkage between the engine and the transmission. It's still using the efi system. It also has rust cancer in the rear trunk. Is that a big deal? I haven't gone to see it because I need all the help I can get. It has 4-lug fuchs and the interior is pretty nice. Any suggestions? Is $2,500 a good price? Roughly how much would it cost to repair? I'm not worried about cosmetic rust, I just don't want something that will fold in half on it's maiden voyage. What would you pay for it? Oh, and one more thing... it doesn't have the original engine. Thanks everyone!!!

QUOTE(Ace Le Count @ Feb 24 2020, 08:51 PM)  What would you pay for it? Sorry to ask a question on a question, but are you familiar with welding? Do you want a project car? That is one that will be worked on for a year or so? 914 beauty is skin deep. The rust lies under the battery tray (hell hole) and under the side rockers. See if you can get a picture or 2 with the rocker panels removed. Present owner may not want to do this. Another question for you: Do you want a project car (ie., not driving but tearing it apart for 6 months to years) or do you want a car you can drive? The problem with a rusty 914 as mepstein said is you'll be putting a bunch of money into replacement panels and welding. If you can weld and want to then project might be rewarding. Always buy the most car you can afford. That said, it might be easier for the Wife to buy a low budget 914 and put money into it as time goes on instead of shelling out $10k-$15k for turn-key 914. Good luck. |
