QUOTE(Grelber @ Jun 25 2006, 06:37 AM)  The seller is the original owner, and has kept it in original shape. He faxed me a bill from Auto Atlanta for nearly $8k in 2001 for restoration work. He still wants too much, tho. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Check over this car carefully then as AA does some goofy things. For $8500 you can find a nice 2.0l in original condition not something f'd by AA. Run....or ask Perry K about AA and his experiences. |

74's had bumper boobies.
$8,500 is WTM for that car. When you see the words "AA Restoration" run away. All they did (IMHO) is restore his bank account to the $0.00 state. An $8k restoration from them could have been inflating the tires to the proper pressure and changing the spark plug wires. |

you did the right thing....for 5500 bucks you should be able to buy yourself a very solid 914. good luck and post pics when you get it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Non appearance group car. Mid 73 they swapped over to plastic theshold plates. Bumper top painted maybe? Missed out on the milage on the car. Has it been repainted? If it's original and looks that nice excluding the bumper, I don't think it would be too high in price.

it does look like a great car, but guards red wasn't a 914 color...
http://homepage.mac.com/markd/914/colors.html http://members.rennlist.com/chuxter/914Colors.htm scarlet red is probably the closest, but that was a 75-76 color only the ""Special Edition" 8-spoke chromed aluminum rims" are also knows as western wheels. popular on beetles. I have a set o my car, but they don't look NEAR that nice... the car is great, and well worth every penny, imo. but a couple of lines in the ad seem "off"... whoever is selling it looks to be going through a sales agency who are putting their own spin on things. the other one that bugged me was the radio... the seller says it was dealer installed, but to my knowledge dealers installed Blaupunkt only. could one crazy dealer have installed a motorola? sure... but the more likely cause is someone put a period correct motorola in to replace the blaupunkt that had gone kaput. |
