Been trying to sell this car to a motivated younger, healthier 914 addict.. I am selling my 72 Buick powered 914. Its registered in Texas and I have a Dr Evil new trans, Rennshifter and West shift kit to go with it. Its outside Houston Texas and right now am asking $ 7.5k for it . I would sell the car without the trans, shifter and west shift kit if asked but it would be cheaper and more cost effective for you to buy it all. I need the space in the garage badly, my SRT8 Challenger is sitting under the patio and my garage is in terrible disorder.

The car has:

Lots of extra's, like new bumper top on rear, GT Engine cover, spare front fenders, etc... not perfect but a nice looker and drives well.

email me for any additional info but give me some time as I am working 2 jobs right now and my health is starting to suck...

Neat car! I just talked to Brad Mayeur today about His impressions of v-8 cars. I've been afraid to take the plunge, but I was thinking an aluminum engine would be the only way to go. Your price doesn't sound out of line, but it sounds a little out of My budget. Good luck!

That figures... I go to the sandbox and THEN people sell V8's in my price range... DOH!

Actually have been driving the car and enjoyed the hell out of it so it may stay with me a while longer if no one comes up with an offer...even bought new mirrors and some other things for it...


Michael

lets see...new fuzzies, new mirrors, tune up, thinking of buying another hood and louvering it....

and if I do that, I have to repaint, then I add flares to the front...

and if I do all of that or start doing it..its not being sold...

Hi Michael,

I'm nearing the mid-point of my rover-914 build. I just wanted to ask about your water pump and distributor. What did you use and how did it fit?

Thanks,
Bob

Actually used a stock buick waterpump. The shaft is short enough to fit and my back firewall is notched to allow clearance. I used an Mallory distributor that uses electronic points. With just enough room to spare....

What, finally getting a chance to drive for several months with all this amazing weather well into December changing your mind?

Do you have some real pictures of the car?

Oh well...I was hoping to find someone who was running the megasquirt2 electronic ignition and injection 'cuz I need some advise in those areas. Thanks and good luck!
Bob

Gint, explain what you mean by "real pictures"?

You have 3 small pictures here in the ad and no link to others (that I can see). There are 2 pics of the engine and one picture of the back of the car. No interior shots at all. You can't even tell if the front is flared. It looks like it could be, reading from the text indicate it probably isn't, but it's almost impossible to tell by the pics that are available.

It looks fantastic but there aren't enough pics to really tell. Pictures sell cars.

I will attempt to cure that sometime this week. Thanks for the help Gint.. The car is not flared in the front and the interior shots will also be included.

So it's only flared in the rear? Can you take some good shots of the exterior if thats the case? I've been looking for pictures of a 914 that only had flares in the rear!

bump for interest!

Pictures?

send me a email and I will send photos and a small video

lets try this..

nope..did not work..how do I embed a video?

well I am surprised...no bids, several calls and offers off the cuff..but nothing solid...after 2 listings...

looks like its staying with me..

It's a nice car. I'm not a buyer, just an admirer that lives at 610/290 area. I'd love to come by and see your creation sometime!

Either way, if it's meant to sell, it will. Good luck!

Pete

left you a message

ok, last 2 people who expressed interest have been contacted. I need to sell the car as its really taking up space in the garage and I cant drive it comfortably any more due to my medical condition. Come on..lets talk turkey, be reasonable. Hell I will even take trade on some work or parts on my 1959 Chevy Apache!

Well...still looking for a new owner...lets talk money, I will sell the whole kit and kaboodle for $7500. Longer you guys wait , the less I will put into the car, I am about ready to place it in storage and wait. Email me with offers but dont be ridiculous or insulting please.

seems either no one cares or I am going about this wrong...someone make an offer?

i'm surprised nobody has scooped this yet. i have way more than the asking into my long stalled project and it's nowhere near complete...

Hello, I am interested in your car. I am new to this site but have always thought 914's are fantastic cars. I am interested in a nice driver quality car that is simple and fun to drive. I appreciate your time, thank you, Todd. (609) 805-5964

I will give you a call tomorrow...

ok I have again talked to one gentleman in depth, still looking for a buyer...

Michael, my $7k offer still stands. Let me know if you should change your mind.

Will tell you after Todd and I finish talking,


Then maybe a modified deal can be done.


Michael
