1) Great looking car!!!

2) you know it's coming... all classifieds need a price.

3) are you sure about the 72? no vents in the dash, and no movable passenger seat would lead me to think 70-71 but perhaps it was back-dated to that look?

One of my all time favorites!!

Such a clean car!

Thanks!

OK - added a price but that shouldn't scare anyone away. I've considered selling this off and on over the past few years and never got one interested party. I am trying to gauge interest vs. price - that's fair. I know there would be a lot of interest for a few hundred bucks Unfortunately for you misers , I don't HAVE to sell it, I just don't pay it enough attention and my guilt is eating away at me - but other things are becoming first in my life and I don't think I will ever be the motorhead I once was.

It's a 72 body and VIN, but has the best of the best parts from a 70 914-6 donor car (dash, column, cooler, stubs, tank, interior, suspension, wiring, hoses) Don't know what year the tranny is.
Of course there is no heat or ventilation on this - it's a fair weather driver that spends it's life under a car cover in my garage. Yeah - it's a garage queen.

ok, that makes sense... I have had 2 72s(one was very early for the 72 model), and both had movable seats and dash vents thanks for clearing that up

thanks for putting the price in there, and btw, I would have guessed much more the car looks great!

Lee,
I sent you an email did you get it?

No sir, did not. Sent you a PM to verify.

My interest significantly outweighs my ability to pay

Thank you for rubbing my nose in my poverty

Wow this car is beautiful! I love the subtle rear flare look! Hell if this is still for sale 5 or 6 years from now I might have to buy it then haha.

Oh yes, there is the issue of funding (empty-pocket smilie). I just consider it a sign that when ability doesn't meet opportunity - it's time for me to keep enjoying it. I would never rub someones nose in some of the places I've been
Errr.. wait, that didn't come out right.

buhs914 - I'll keep it clean and pristine for you!
Hey - do you think *selling* this car is my mid-life crisis ?
I'm not sure what a mid-life crisis is, but know I'll have regrets if it does sell. The only person that loves this car more than me is the next owner, and I'll be demoted to DAPO

Just showed it in a car show 2 days ago. I got dirt on it *gak* !!

bbbbbbbeeeeeaaaauuutiful
at a fair price...
i'll keep my ears open. i occasionaly have people interested in purchasing a quality built car as your appears to be done.
if so i will shoot them your way.
very nice!

does anyone have insight on how to go about registering it in cali, being it is a custom vehicle. it's a '72 but custom so is it still smog exempt?
allan

That car is amazing. Plus....it spent part of its life in Scottsdale. It must be good!

Just register it. DMV won't know if it's custom or not.

I was thinking the same thing, but since I am not sure 100% I thought it best to keep quiet. I would imagine if you simply told them you put in the 2.2L six from that year, how would they know different (unless they are familiar with the brand or the fuel injection or can read the engine stamps) ?

I live in a county that has these emission requirements - and this passed with flying colors (though I was a bit embarassied that the car started to roll while they were doing the test - since it doesn't have an e-brake I casually walked to the downhill side and let it rest against my leg until they were done I had to get this emissions test since I brought it in from Arizona.

I know California is much more strict so . . .

Just register it. 99% of the pre 76 custom engined vehicles in CA are not registered as that. They are smog exempt so they just need DMV transfer of title, No smog.

Thats really kalifornia in that they do smog tests but don't require emergency brakes or windshield wiper or safety inspections.
