The ad is well written, lots of pictures. Slice thru the BS and it looks like a good project car. I think Maxwell Smart drove a Apine tho (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Oh, here we go, I found out what the problem with the car is..
NOTE: I will be out of town getting married from June 7th to June 20th. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I agree the guy could back off on the pipe before his lip burns in terms of the sensationalisms, so to say he should say it's a junker bid fast is taking it too far the other way. I just don't understand why dipsticks get behind the keyboard and go apeshit with their descriptions when, seriously, anyone who would really buy a project 914 is going to be someone (most likely) that knows a lot about them and will see thru the BS anyway. Just makes him look dumb. That said, the car actually does look pretty solid. Can't really see the hellhole, but the batt tray looks good and the general area around it. 'Course, he had "brilliant" body repairmen so that stuff could have been replaced. If so, then the insides of the car could look like crap. And why couldn't his "brilliant" guy smooth the "original" spoiler in without cracking? He implies it is only bolted on so no bondo to crack... umm, okay... ask your body guy why he can't do that. I agree about the bent jack point - how do you bend one of those without whacking something? I jacked up some pretty rusty ones and haven't had them bend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Overall, he is definitely a bit left of center on his story, but that car looks like a solid project car and I was just at the track yesterday with my car and the 930 turbo brakes with stock pads were bringing that car down from 135mph pretty fast to head into turn 1, so he is right about the brakes, and those are not a cheap conversion btw. If I were so inclined to do a project, especially a sweet 6 conversion, I would keep my eye on it. His starting bid of $3K would barely buy you the 930 brake conversion parts (I have just over $3K in my stuff). |

Hey guys - he's a dealer. Hyperbole is a way of life for him. Get past that and it might be a reasonable car.
Personally I'd be looking at why all the 'strengthening' stuff he welded in. I would suspect that it was to fix/hide rust damage. If he did a good job of the repairs it would worth $3000 up in the rust belt particularly with a good 2l engine. Hell just to fix the frame on my car will cost $3k from a qualified 914 guy. Add to that the suspension and brake work - not bad at all. The real key is the frame. If it is good they this could be a great project. By the way. Jack posts can 'bend' when they are badly rusted. That is the reason I suspect that although it is 'rust free' it was not always that way. edit: Oops didn't read well enough. it is not a 2l but a 1.8 with big jugs. |

good math Rich. We never get out of a car what we put into it in parts but this one seems to worth while particularly if you are going for an AX machine. If the frame is good I would take it on - all the stuff I don't feel comfortable with (mainly welding) has already been done. The wrenching that I like doing is all that needs to be done. Give my project to a guy that can weld and I'd be all over that one. Dunno how I would handle shipping and customs but that's just a little bit of work.
If you don't want to go for it yourself please report back on it. |

I know how to bend a jack point really easily when it's not rusted, jack it up on a hill with no blocks under the wheels and let the car roll away. It bends the shit out of them.
I did it to my first bug when I got a flat when I was a 16 year old moron. |
