Run
Basket case is worst kind of project. Especially if you aren’t already an expert at whatever is supposed to be in the basket.
You’ll inevitably end up short on the hard to find parts and have extra parts that you don’t need. Lots of parts shown in that CL post that aren’t even for a 914. I can see photos of at least two sets of induction / intake runners, including the usual single carb conversion that screams cheap SOB from back in the day.
Only a couple pictures of the chassis and from what I can see someone cut the targa bar off and then hacked the rear trunk and firewall up for the engine swap.
This this is a nightmare in the making if you expect to end up with a 914 and not some cobbled hack job.
They would have to pay me to take it off their hands. Basically someone looking to get you to pay for the privilege of cleaning out their disorganized garage for them.
You can build your own rotisserie for less than $1000.
Hard pass.
