Garage
Well I purchased that 914. The rust was slightly better than expected but I'm sure there's more surprises. I was told that the sellers helper tried cranking with the starter and it spun but no fire. Not sure that was smart after sitting so long. It does have a carb conversion so that's disappointing. You'll note the wheels are EMPI (I think). The rear truck hinge PS is broke off. The DS front wheel bearing is shot. Some plywood in the front trunk covering a couple holes cut into that pan (not sure why). Of course all the tires a dry rotted and flat. But all the glass is intact and the interior is complete except the radio is missing (no surprise).

That's about all I know for now as it eight hours driving and I just had time to get it in the garage.

Here's photos from the Marketplace ad...
