I have always been a big fan of these cars and have been wanting to buy one for quite some time. They are somewhat difficult to find in my area, especially examples in good shape. I recently found one on my local craigslist listing and seems to be somewhat interesting but I could use your all's wisdom and advice. Initially the car was listed for $900 as a barn find. I emailed the owner and he has been very gracious and forthcoming with information regarding this teener. He informed me that it was most recently titled in Indiana and hasn't been registered in years. This 1972 914 currently resides in Kentucky and the current owner says the PO had lost the title and keys and is unwilling to apply for a lost title. With that being said he has lowered the price to $600 and recommended Broadway Title Co. to get a new title. So obviously these things are concerning, but not uncommon based on some of the threads in this forum and others. I have asked the owner for some pics. Some guidance and advice from you all would be greatly appreciated on both the title and lack of key situation and the general condition of the car and anything I should be aware with this particular model year.
Thanks!
