75-76 for sure because of bumper mounts.

Engine is a 75 L jet 1.8. Could be a good car if the body has steel flares. Always wonder wky a seller does not take the time to wash off decades of dust and make it look better

I hope someone here buys it so that we can find out if that is an aftermarket sunroof installed in the Targa top. Looks like it to me.

Looks like it hasn't moved since 1978, in any case...

You see them every once in a while. Seems pretty silly to install a sunroof on a removable top.

Mine came with two targa tops- one with a glass “moon roof” installed- why would you do that?

Well not gonna say much as my son “Manas” who some of you might have spoken to this weekend at WCR is the new proud owner and yes she is a “75”. I feel as it’s his purchase he should be the story teller. I must thank James and Jamie for helping me with Manas's 914 addiction by letting him ride along Saturday, that’s all it took to push him into the 914 addiction. We headed out Sunday with the trailer to get a good look at it and trailered her home. Manas and our youngest son Winston who was also with us at WCR are planning to start cleaning up his new toy this evening after work. Hell hole actually looks pretty good although the driver’s side floor pan and rear trunk floor section need to be replaced and the flares are plastic otherwise not bad for a none running 914.

That should keep him busy for a few years. beerchug.gif
