Contacted a craigslist seller last week about an ad for some Lotus Europa & Porsche 914 parts. Made the 2+ hour drive and come home with this 74 and truck bed full of fiberglass parts. I will be going back to get the orange 74 some time later this week.
Both have spent 12yrs untouched, The purple in a storage unit and the other behind a barn. What can I say, I have a sickness besides they were almost free.

the purple car is a parts car. The orange may be a good project car for someone. I will know better once I get it home.
Is the purple one a repaint? How many 914 have you purchased over the years?
did you get the Lotus, too?

I love Europa's! However, if you think a 914 is a money pit just wait until you price parts on a Europa!......

I have lost count, but I think close to 25 - 30.
Not all were parts cars, some are actually still on the road.QUOTE

Working on it. I already have a buyer for it if i can get it for the right price.
You know, this being laid off stuff is a lot of fun. Going to look at a 912 in a few days.
What do mean " Layed off " I thought buying 914's is your full time job !!!
Go get i'm ! very jealous Dave

I think so too. I just need to prove to Julie that I can make enough money from it to keep a roof over our heads.
so where do you park all these? i was there and don't remember a lot of parking area.

Went back up to Wisconsin today and brought home the other "nicer" 74. I like this picture, it turned out pretty good for a point & shoot camera.
