FS 1974 914 2.0L Project or parts car

I've decided that I no longer have the time to devote to the car and I need the money so it's time to find it a new home. It has some rust in the regular spots (battery tray and below) plus the floor pan directly below the drivers seat and the rear trunk hinge above the battery has come loose from the rust. It has '72 bumpers. The car ran but smoked enough that it wouldn't pass the visual part of the smog test. The compressions were also low so I was planning to rebuild the engine but didn't have the cash. It has original 2.0L heads but the case is from a '71 1.7L. I have a short block from a '75 or '76 2.0L. It has a Bosch 050 distributor with Compufire insert. It has dual Weber IDF's but one started leaking from a crack in the housing, a local welder tried to fix it but the housing is pretty much a gonner, still leaks. If someone wants to try and revive the car I've got a pair of Dellorto DRLA40's with 36 vents that will need to be re-jetted for the 914. The tranny needs new 1st and 2nd syncros (I've got 2 of them, used but in good condition) and the shifter has new bushings. The heat exchangers are pretty rusty. I've got some stainless steel exchangers that have not yet been installed. Also has a Bursh exhaust. All the glass is in good shape. Interior is so-so. Body panels are in good condition but there are a few rust bubbles under the paint at the top rear of the left front fender. I have the original owners manual and a clear Nevada title. I also have some assorted other parts that can mostly be seen in the photo's in one of the links below. I'll take $1500 for just the car or $2000 for everything all at once. It'll need to be hauled on a trailer as it isn't currently running. As for the other parts, the prices are on the pictures and do not include shipping. I'm located in Las Vegas, Nevada and you can email any questions to me at lvav8r@hotmail.com as I may not check this thread very often.
