New to the forum and the car. Was pointed to it by an aficionado on The Samba— I have a ‘59 Karmann Ghia. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=723793
He suggested that the people on this forum were the brain trust for all things 914 and that I should vet one here that has caught my eye on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-914-113/ Any insight would be appreciated! |
