So I have looked at 4 cars now around here and all are too far gone, or require far too much bodywork for my time allowance.

I'm looking for a 4 cylinder 914, super clean body, mechanicals not a big deal as long as it's drivable and can be driven safely.

I am outside of baltimore and willing to travel, just not looking to waste time. So if the car is rusty and you think you can get me to buy it when I get there -- do not bother.

I have been misled by a few folks now, and not looking to waste time. Thanks!

To the guy who pm'd me, I may be interested but your price is high and for what you are asking I would have to see photos of the entire restoration in detail.

It will not let me send a PM back to you for some reason.

I should probably clarify a few things. I do not care if the care is a 2.0l, I would be happy with a 1.7.

I do not care if the interior is aged, the dash is cracked etc.

I care that the body is in fine shape and that is about it. I'm looking for a very clean driver. While offers of 13,000$+ priced 914's are nice, they are kind of outside reality.

I'm not looking to rip anyone off, but I am looking for a fair deal and can afford it/will pay for it. I am not looking for a concours car either.

At the prices of some of the offers I have gotten, I will ship a car out from out west for 1/8th of the price that needs minimal work to look nice, possibly a respray on an otherwise solid chassis.

i paid $3500 for it as it sits - will sell for $3500
oil pressure sensor sheared off in block - runs rough needs something? - was painted before i got it so i do not know about any structural repairs done.

Jim. I'd like to see this car.

Can we arrange something maybe? I sent you a PM with my phone number. Thanks!

Thanks for having me out. Cleanest I have seen yet. I'm speaking with some people about the welding work.

Going to sleep on it, and see if I can line up everything in advance and plot some timelines out tomorrow & monday while I am at work!

i just added some good : ) pics of the bad : ( areas

http://www.pbase.com/jimkelly/1975914

why it would not run without me manually dumping fuel into the trottle body seems to have been the result of a clogged fuel filter - getting a new one tomorrow. update:: yup, it needed new fuel filter and a working relay - runs now.

see pics in garage forum.
