Sorry no pictures.
I have a chance to buy a running 74 2ltr 914 for parts prices--I think. It's pretty much stock, with a good black interior, console has a small tear. Took a ride in the car it ran through the gears, tached up to 5,000 no problem. When it was tacked up it was cutting out a little--djet. Has a car alarm, and 4 bolt wheels that look like what I call "centerlines?" The car is complete, bumpers, etc. Been painted three times. Quad monza exhaust. Fuel pressure gauge coming out of the console as a fourth gauge. 914 has the appearance package. Currenlty licensed to 2007.
Outwardly, the car looks OK. Closer inspeciton reveals rust issues in the ususal places. The front tires 195/50's are unevenly worn on the inside badly. Drivers side in the trunk reveals it had been crunched at one time but pulled out and repaired.
The motor has a minature cone breather like air cleaner attached to the oil cap????
My question is...what do you think a car like this is worth? My thoughts was to buy it for the running motor (for my current 914) and sell the rest for parts to recoup purchase price. I really don't want to start another project, and the expenses it will take to restore.
I have to make my decision today.

If it's less than a grand, the motor is worth that. Take it.

The only tear in the interior is a small one to one of the seats.
How much of the interior would you be interested in? How much would you want to pay for what you want?
