Left South Carolina yesterday around 11:30 am bound for Cleveland, OH and returned at 6:30 this evening with this....1973 2.0 with Appearance Group.

Details: Bought from the second owner who only had it a year. Original owner was forced to sell after developing medical issues. Have a large number of receipts including the sales order. He traded in a '67 Rambler!

Car currently has a running 1.7 or 1.8. Original engine dropped a valve (see picture). Original engine case, head, fuel injection, tins, transaxle, etc. included.
Mostly original paint, good glass, garaged most of its life.

Comes with 5 Fuchs...and pretty bad hell hole/long rust. Floors and trunks are good.

Build date of 10/72.

Haven't decided what I'm going to do with ths one.....

Nice...Congrats! Although I did cringe a bit at the rust in the long. Not surprising but, blech

And I forgot how much I used to like the Drew Carey song. Went and found it on youtube after your post reminded me. Thanks!

The long is a turn off. But, the rest of the car seems to be solid. I'll spend more time investigating today....was too tired last night!

Very nice find. I see that the engine case has a hole in it. Car is really solid considering where it came from----right in my part of the world.

I'll trade you the complete motor out of my 72' for your interior and seats...

Keep the FI, mine had this removed

I see lots of holes!

I don't see any that shouldn't be there? of course, i haven't really looked at it!

Might keep this one. Been checking out the floors, trunks, etc....looking good other than the hellhole and long!

ive been gone for 2 weeks and just got back- very nice--- project. looks like a little bit of work for Scotty B. , and an engine rebuild too?

- i drove 3400 miles from here to MN and back, and did not see one 914 on the road! or a pasture, nothing that was close enough to go look at- but i did not drive thru Ohio, apparently that is where i should have gone.

Glad you keep finding these- save them from eventual destruction!!!!!!

Think I will keep this one. The only rust I see is the hell hole and long. The rest is super solid. Much more solid than the green car that Scott has been working on for me. I'll sell this running engine (pretty sure it's a 1.8) and either rebuild the original 2.0 or get anothe one to put in.

Bill, can I buy the muffler from you sometime? Meet you at scotty's next time your there, if you want to sell it?

Oh Phil the Boxster man is back! Thought he disappeared!

That engine case is broke! Nothing but scrap now.

Absolutely! Only 2.0L (or bigger0) in my future!

Ha - you are just jealous

-was on vacation- 3333 miles to minnesota and back- almost brought back a '65 ford- (mom has it right now- my uncle was original owner-)
-it's mine when i want it( or when i have room for it)

- but i did run the 914 as soon as i got home - after 1 month, started right up!!

Your 914 will fit in the trunk!

Ha! You got me.
Will the galaxy be a low rider?

Na, i couldnt do that to it, its an all original, no rust clean car- i think it has to stay stock - has 85,k miles but less than 10 k in the last 10 year, always garaged- Arkansas car. has a few minor scratches on the front hood but that's it.
(would make a mean lowrider if that was what you wanted)

That "Gal" screams GLASSPACKS!

Vroom, Vroom

Looks like the side with the sn is good.

If you decide to sell a few parts I would be interested in the mirror and the clock if it is working. Same year and colour as mine, hope you restore to like new, mine's getting there, one little improvement at a time!

Ian,
If I decide to sell I'll let you know. I am leaning towards restoration at this point!

Thanks,
Bill
