Is there anyone available to do a PPI on a 914 in the Longmont area? I'm in discussions with a seller that I found in the classifieds here. As a long time 914 owner, I'd prefer someone who recognizes the propblem areas of a 914 that a regular dealer or mechanic might skip over.
To me, the mechanical stuff is easier to address, structural issues are a bigger problem.
If anyone in the area feels up to it, please PM me and I'll try to get the whole thing coordinated.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe Brant is the seller? He has that nice yellow one for sale.

That yellow one is GORGEOUS! It was some really interesting cool mods too. Plus complete and total absence of rust is a pretty good thing too
Why did I leave Colorado again?

Yep, it's Thad who purchased the car recently. I've never met him or have seen the car. He has it listed on here, our local Yahoo Group, and Denver Craigslist. No offence to Thad, but Brant's car would be a great one to pick up!

I am also in Longmont. I could have a look.
i see a yellow one on craigslist that says Longmont for $2800.
Is that it?
No worries, I have two already and am considering buying a roller, so no room for another ;-)

Yep. The car in question is Thad's '74 with a carb'ed 1.8 listed for $2800. I've looked at Brant's listing, it's a beautiful example, but I've alraedy got a '75 and it is a little too pricy for my plans.
So has anyone seen the car already? Like I said before, I'm more concerned with the structural aspects then with the various mechanicals.
This is my first time seriously considering a car at a distance, so it's a little weird for me.
Thanks.

Its my car for sale. I wouldn't mind meeting up with anyone that wants to take a look. I'm located close to Firestone even though I have a Longmont address. I'm just off of the Highway 119 exit on I-25. I've only met one world member, I was getting fuel near I-25 and he stopped to talk to me. I believe he lived in Utah and was visiting family in Colorado. Very nice guy and it was fun talking 914s for a few minutes.
