Hello Everyone
My name is Dave and middle name Rex...thus D Rex A nickname my office girls gave to me as a play on 'T Rex' It was quite a process to get signed up on this forum But it appears I finally on I'm in the process of buying a 1971 914 It was hit in the R front fender and now Sat for > 40 years in a barn but was covered up (see pic) I own a '62 VW Beatle and had a '71 911 at one time So am familiar with air cooled engines Before the accident, it was apparently a running car I know its hard to tell without a thorough inspection But assuming it does not have much rust How much should I be offering for it? Thanks for all your expect advise Drex (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.surfacezero.com-27003-1671748247.1.jpg) |
