Sfrenck and Brenz - Scott & Brian - told me about this 914 for sale. Story goes that the PO was driving, heard a big clunk (suspension console?) and the car was no longer drivable. It's been sitting in a garage for ~10 years awaiting repair/restoration. Seller finally decided he was never going to get around to it and told the local guys. Seller was a very nice guy and still has a 912 to drive. This one is very rusty in all the wrong places so they passed. They told me, I looked at it one night and we made a deal. Delivered today on a flatbed to my house. There was a small stash of extra parts but most of it was trash. I saved the 4 seats that need recovering and a backpad in good shape. The passenger seat in the car looks almost perfect so I'll hold onto it for the one at Scotty B's. BTW, My kids call the flared car at Scotty's - Big Red and the one in my workshop - Little Red. I don't thing I'll name this one because I don't plan on keeping it but my daughter just got home from school and said it's - Ugly Red .

Who can guess what made me buy this car?

What kind of engine? I might be interested.

Pics of said rust? Looks pretty straight!

5 lug gasburners!!!

Rims

Kick ass stereo (LOL)

Oil cooler in nose

Carbs

LOTS of good parts!!!!

Definitely - those things are easily worth 3 or 4 times what the rest of the car is worth! Nice!

I'm told it's a 1.8 but not positive. The rear of the car has a 2.0 emblem. Said to have been rebuilt by a reputable shop shortly before chassis took a dump.

PM me if you want it. Price will be VERY reasonable but delivery won't happen until the next time I'm at Scotty's. Unless your up for a trip to my house?

Obviously, that cool brown leather steering wheel and the 220 air conditioning (320 without the top)

Don't overlook the custom shifter!

Bingo!

BTW - Electronics on the gas tank scare me!

I have never seen the tac upside down before.

Mark- If you are not interested in those ugly wheels, just drop them off at Scotty's and he could use them to roll my car around while it is at his shop. My car arrived there this morning so the timing would be right. I might even give you a couple of dollars for them.....or even trade you for the Fuchs on the car now....

I run mine upside down ... Better visibility of the important rpm range with the small steering wheel i have.

Makes sense! Learn something new! Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks!

I got an email from a buyer just 4 minutes after I posted this thread. I guess there worth something.

What 914? I'm drooling over the wheels. Nice score!

Wow. Nice score!

Big bucks. Don't sell too cheap ...

Parts sales will be used to fund my daughters mac book pro.

I'm going to give away the shell.

Those wheels should pay for the mac book...

Sort of, I still had to pay for the car.

I bet you didn't pay that much for the whole car ...

And that is 6 year old pricing, up up and away $$$$$$$$$!!!!!

I had done a bit of research. It seems like they sell for 2-3K in average condition. I have a 5th wheel but it was damaged when someone forgot to tighten the lug nuts. I got 10.4lbs on my scale.

Heck yeah! I would have bought it for those too. Nice score

What IS up with that gas tank?

Isn't that the harder to find replica 916 pointy front end?
Not the more common flat nose?

Love the rims but I know I won't be able to afford them. How about the 5 lug parts? Have you looked under to check them out?

Nope thats the step in between, Just like mine. Its a bit more rare than the super flat nose like on Andy's.. but still not worth all that much.

Hell, maybe there the same, I donno

I was looking at this angle. The center point is pointy not flat.

Looks like T struts and M calipers on the front, drilled hubs and 914 calipers on the back.

Neither is mine ... The top part is not flat, it's the front portion that is bent inwards ...

I don't know what you guys are talking about.

I'm bummed it didn't have sway bars front and rear. Really want a factory set for little red.

A *real* 916 front bumper is big bucks. But yours is a replica, with the same ugly "dimple" as all the other replicas.

I guess my daughter was right - Ugly Red.

Did you aks me aboot that ? I have one and want an adjustable instead. The factory one I have is yours Mark

Nice! - I take back some of the things I said about you behind your back. ~15%

Same

They are actually not that hard to find but like all glass products they differ by manufacturer. I have one but I haven't fitted it yet. I kind of like the stock chrome bumper but wish Mine was nicer.
