Oh well, I can't stand it anymore! I nearly have in my posession a 1970 teener with a 2 liter fuel injected motor. The car was parked a couple of years ago because of a bad strut, now it will be mine. How much you ask? Until it is in my stable I am not saying!

Hell HOLE!

And thanks, Jeff, I hope you get to see a lot of this car this summer, mostly while you are buying me beer!

Next week is the idea... I was in Butte mt for saint patties

I don't think I've seen the tan interior in an early car. Looks nice.

thanks, guys. I
t has the static passenger seat with no cracks in the seat or the back pad. I think I will leave it and start looking for a foot rest.
The driver's seat has the wear mark from getting in and out, but it is also in pretty decent shape...

Between the fuzzy shots and the thumb over the lense, I should be able to capture the "spirit" of the event! Not a photo journalist, more of a photo "stylest"


As for the car, she needs some driving lights, a horn cover, tyres and the rear trunk has the lovely surface rust happening. I have not driven the car so I don't know what else mech it needs. Good thing I have two more at home and a partz car!

ive got a horn cover you could have for free, just pay for the shipping. PM me if you're interested. (you meant the one on the steering wheel right?)

Thanks for the offer, I have a TON of spare parts and I think I just might have a MOMO top power somewhere for a steering wheel...

just recently i swapped out my stock steering wheel for one w/ a quick release hub. The wheel itself is some leather knock off and for the button i got a genuine Momo. But the thing is i used the stock steering wheel hub and bolted the QR hub to the hub. I had to disassemble the stock wheel by drilling out the rivets. Luckily the 6 bolt pattern on the stock hub was the same as the one on the QR hub or i'd be looking for another stock wheel.

here's my cheap set-up:

that is a kewl looking wheel. I dont mind not being able to see all the instruments with the smaller wheel...

i only spent like $70< on my set up. Got everything off ebay. And it's a 14" wheel still able to see the Tach.

If I'm not mistaken if it's a 1970 4cyl then it would be a 1.7 unless someone did an engine swap. The 2.0 that year is a 6 cyl.

you are corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrect! Sir!

it is a redo with a type iv 2 liter. He is giving me the old tail shifter and 1.7 engine as well...

Well I got it home! The car is nice, needs ball joints and rear shocks... I have all that right here! The respray is ok from about 10 feet.
Shane helped me bring it from Auburn to Bremerton, alls he had to do was eat lunch and drive my truck home!
It was a good day!

Man, nice find.

Now yer gonna have to update your sig!

Need more pictures, and any info on the deal?

Yep

Saw the car in person. It looks like a nice ride. it was good to see Shane again too.

Dave

Very nice save!

Does she run?

This is a parts car??

Still looking for a rear valence for the black 72.

Geoff

Not a parts car and it doesn't have a valence. It's got potential.

Dave

The signiture has been updated, we are now up to date! I put a new battery in and she cranked right up. The car has the Monza exhaust and left some dark black soot on the bumper, but hey I am SO not complaining! The drive from Auburn to Bremerton was uneventful and the longest drive I have made in a teener in YEARS!
Sorry, Geoff, I don't have any good valences either. I *think* I have one for the new car...

what ever you do, dont put even one jack stand under it. this one runs and is on the road, lets keep it that way.

Looks like a keeper.

c'mon, Dino! you know you want to work on it! swap some stuff out, update some things, fix a few minor insignificants...

really, it was very kewl following Dino back to b-town. the car runs well (considering it hasn't been run in some time), and is straight and clean. new tires, some cleaning, and lots o' drivin'!

i got to see Dr. Dave's magnificent machine; wow, that thing sounds awesome and moves with spirited gusto! if you aren't careful, Dave, you will inspire me to bring mine up to speed!

Does that have the smooth grain light tan interior??? If you EVER want to swap interiors, please let me know. Great find! Congrats!!

It does have the smooth grain with the fixed passenger seat. It has a small tear in the joint of the seat to headrest, the driver's seat is worn on the bolster but not ripped...

I will keep you in mind, but I am not looking to change much on this car for a very long time. I have forgotten how much I like to DRIVE rather than WORk on 914s!

I am going to the antiques roadshow with it! "well Mr Davis, $1500 is a good price, however if the car had it's orginal 1.7 liter engine and pox marked paint, it would be worth ONE MILLION dollars!"
