I spoke with the owner of this car yesterday. The car seems decent enough, but the owner did send me some alarming pics of looks to be cracked fiberglass on the door jab and door latches. The ad states it has fiberglss flares, but how much of the car is fiberglass here? Do they make an entire fiberglass shell?

He's going to be removing the rocker covers and sending more pics of the common rust areas later this week, but I am interested to see what everyone here thinks about these pics.

Here is a link to the CL ad.

Run, don't walk away from that car. Those areas should all be metal. Someone did a nice fiberglass cover up job of what is likely a TON of rust underneath.

Look elsewhere unless you were planning on doing a BIG project.

It's been for sale a Loooooong time. He was at $5500 for a couple of months. I like the door latch held on by JB weld, don't slam the door too hard.

I looked at a yellow one down in Phoenix about two months ago, the body looked nice, hell hole was bad, passenger long was really bad. Even Arizona 914's rust.

Looks like you should run away.

That's like a mile from me. If anyone is interested, I've never seen the car nor will I go preview it for you. From those pics, I feel comfortable saying "don't bother".

Did you see the roller Brad Mayeur has in the classifieds? $500! Needs a suspension ear but other than that it looks very clean. Brad could do the repair for you (you'd have to pay for it but it'd be worth it).

Can someone please help me. HOw do you post a car for sale? Do you create a blog.

Yeah stay away from the car... bod is shot.

Upper right hand corner.

run away!!!


that car is rusted out and the rust holes are filled with fiberglass matt and bondo

Whatever it is, I'm interested

TY I got it posted thanks.

Admin will have to move it into the classifieds.

$500 might be too much for this car unless it came with some great spare parts...the 'glass in spots that shouldn't have any is really scary!

I wonder if they ever had wider wheels on it or just rocked the skinny Riveras with the flares the entire time?

RUN FORREST RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ditto!

This guy is a nut job.

"No body rust
Has a floor board patch under driver seat
There is rust behind driver seat where firewall and side panel come together in engine bay"

Did he read his own ad?

The "no body rust" gets me. That shell is a rusted away POS.

It reminds me of the 914-6 I looked at many years ago, I asked the guy twice if it had ever been hit, He said no both times. When I got to the car after a 1.5 hour drive he admitted the car had been cut in half in the passenger compartment, so "neither end had been hit".

..............buff out that rust?

still not pretty
previously repaired
and if you repeat the work, it will need another paint job too by the time its finished...

It may not be as bad as you thought, but it's not good. Lots of "patching" done on that car means you'll be redoing stuff, which can take twice as long as it would to cut out and repair original rusted sheetmetal.

No offense, but if you don't think that is that bad, I'm not sure what meds you're on...

The patch jobs are horrible IMHO- that thing needs MAJOR rust repair.

Keep looking- there are better options out there!

.............help..........I'm melting

I was afraid I was too subtle about my feelings toward this car. My post reads:

I'm not buying this one.

Did you look at the one in the classifieds? It'll be gone soon. 914ltd is selling it. No BS with Brad. $500...I'd buy it myself if I had the room.

That flared car is coming apart at the seams. Anyone who uses JB Weld on a DOOR LATCH is If you media blasted it it'd disappear.

try looking for a different car. not this if possible.

how do you opt out of a this thread,??? I keep gettting messages.
went to my control panel and see view option clilcked and it says pruning of off? I am new to Blogging.

......if you are new to 914's then this is a good item to be subscribed too

I am not new to 914's . AM new to blogging! Have no need to be on this thread any longer.

After seeing all the pics and the comments on this AZ car. you have to admit it is JUNK.

I think we all agree on that
