Is it a barn find if it is in your own barn? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Yes. Had a fried wiring harness right at the firewall, but was running when parked.
The guy I bought it from shorted out the starter.

It's a complete car, and it's not on jackstands, so it has a fighting chance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I have one in the back with 10 Porsche seats “stored” on it.
I went so far as to add plywood and legs to keep the seats from falling off.

Btw, free seats at Hershey at 4:30 pm end of day rush…and we had a truck that day

Reminds me of some of those Wayne Carini episodes where it would take a day just getting to the car!


(I obviously have a soft spot for '71 914's...)

Cool! Did you get the date from the VIN or was told it’s a ‘71? Not that it’s a big deal either way but maybe the rear bumper was changed at some point.. I was thinking the ‘70 & ‘71 had the straight cut recess (for license plate)?

I will have to dig out the title for the vin, but it is a '71, 1.7 obviously.
The engine was rebuilt at a local VW shop just before I bought it. It has a single carb.
No rust, and body is in good shape. Original color was sunflower yellow. I have delusions of painting a polizei color scheme on it some day. Once I get my other 914 finished, I will try and get this one started. Since it is not jackstands, I have a fighting chance of reviving it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

Or selling it to someone with a trailer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Trailer.jpg)

Actually, when I go back today, I'll take a picture of the trailer I used to get it there. It has been sitting in the same place just as long (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
The trailer may have appreciated more than the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
