My Dad, of all people, called me Friday with a lead on a possible deal on a 914 that was passed to him by a friend. Really odd considering he's not really a car-guy per se . . .

It's a '73 916 clone. Of course, it's not perfect and does need some tweeking in lots of areas, but nothing major that I saw. At the price, I just could NOT pass it up.

What's the powerplant? 1.8 with single progressive carb and hydraulic lifters?

Now, get some longer wheel studs in the front, add a 1" or 2" spacers and get them flares filled out nicely!

Isn't that the one with the matching trailer. V8?
Nice!

NICE Bring it over and we will take it to a Autocross



Or a mountain drive. road is clear to Heather Medows.

We got the pictures for the thread, now how about some details

Kelty; How'd ya guess!!

No, it's got a new 2.0L(??)(they guy was not sure of the displacement as he's a hot-rodder and the car was his wifes). That's what it feels like, though it's got a 2.2L badge on the engine lid. I believe it has a fan seal leak so I left it at my fathers house until next weekend when I'll have my dolly. It's running dual Webers. It's out of tune and popped and snapped a but when I test drove it, but had good power.

It's not quite ready for prime-time, but it's all there and not in need of a rotisserie so. . . It needs some mechanical perfecting and tweeking, but that's no problem; I expect that in a near 40 y/o car.

Unlike my really original '75, I don't feel like I can't do stuff to this one, so originality be damned. When I get this one in good reliable condition, I'm going to have to decide what I can keep and what gets sent down the road.

Once I get it home to my shop and up on the lift, I can get a better idea about some of the stuff it has and what it needs. I do like the center console for sure; comfy (nice arm rest in the correct position), functional and doesn't get in the way of my leg or foot.

Nice Nate I like the part about originality with the '75 but this time.............. It's a blank pallet. Show us your stuff

Congrats. It looks like a nice project to start with.

My personal preference would be black top, black sail panels, black upholstery and black wheel centers.


Oh wait, that's my car...

Looks like it should be in my barn . I can't believe I missed it . I'm losing my touch

Nice, looks clean and perhaps.. LOUD~?
Are the flares FG?

Hey............don't forget about that blue one in your shop!!
