new car porn
Just popped my aircooled dd cherry and bought a 1974 914 1.8 for the sum of $2500. brakes need to be gone through but overall a very clean car. I only have the pictures that i took prior to loading it on the trailer for the ride home.. i will take more in the daylight and apologize that they're not the best...

If it is rust free I think you got a bargain.
I used a 914 as my only car for over 20 years.

It will need new longitudinals, for now they're ok and have metal welded in place but other than that the floors are clean except for a dime sized spot on the drivers rear... The guy i bought it off of took exceptional care of it and did alot of work on it

It looks clean... but we all know what's hiding under those black running panels.
 Are those glass bumpers?

Pic is pretty blurry...Are those the original in the bumper fog lights? If so those lenses are pretty much NLA...and they are the same as this lens..So, even if rusted out housings...keep the lenses, advertise 'em on the S registry...

The spare lenses I gave Evren with the car came off a wrecked 914 here... Kind of funny, I always preferred the cleaner look of the 911 without the fog lights, but since they were put on by the factory, I left 'em on my old car.
