It really makes me sad to think that someone will eventually buy this car (hopefully not for $60k) and then they will judge 914's by it.
If it makes you feel better, this was the first 914 I bought. It was also the first car I bought long distance, which is how I got f*cked on it (thankfully for nowhere near the current asking price!). But even though it was a total POS, I saw the model's potential. A couple months after selling it I picked up the '75 Laguna Blue 914 with the 2270 built by McMark that I owned and loved for 2 years. I still regret selling that '75, and often wonder where it is and hope it's being treated well!
If I ever finish this bare metal 66 Ghia restoration, that I'm 3 years into at this point...I will eventually buy another 914. It's a car I truly miss.
But if someone does buy this car sight unseen for the asking price, or anywhere near the asking price, I honestly worry what is going to happen to the seller. Because the asking price is literally criminal. When I sold this car honestly in 2014, showing all these defects, all I could get for it was $5k. Now it did only have a Djet 1.7 at that time, so maybe the bigger motor adds some value, but I can't imagine it'd be a whole lot more if it was sold honestly today. And the interior was in slightly better shape when I had it: the cocomats weren't shredded, and it had a backpad and no rollbar so that a passenger could at least sit in it.
