I recently bought a 70 914 to use for parts on another project. Now that it has been delivered I am reluctant to part it. I think it would make a great platform for a GT clone.
I am not ready to take on 2 projects, so I want to ask the collective: should I offer it up for sale “as is” or is it really just a parts candidate. My needs for the existing project would mean I cut sheet metal from this car.

The car obviously had body damage to the left side and the PO cut out all the fenders to facilitate flared fender.

The structure of the car is good. The dash is very good. The engine was allegedly overhauled and punched to 2.0 liters, starts and runs well. Shift linkage bushings are literally gone so it is difficult to drive. The brakes are very good.
I guess I’m fishing for a buyer. What I really need to know is would this car bring 3 or even 4 thousand dollars as is or should I make the effort to part it out ( after I get the stuff I need!)
