Resurrecting this thread as I am considering buying a slightly rough-around-the-edges 914 as a grocery-getter/middle age crisis project.

It's red, just the right colour for a crisis car. But that will have to change. I hate red cars. It's interior is quite good considering and it has remarkably little rust for a wet coast car but it's had some dodgy bodywork done. Original EFI is missing. It has a single carb.

If I can get it for ~$2000, I might just go for it. Can't go down in value and it's "moddable" and considering the condition, I won't feel like I'm committing vehicular blasphemy. HMMMM.
