Hi, all. I bought a 914 as my first car at age 10, and I'm ready to get back in the 914 game. I'm now 22 and am looking for a solid project.

What I'm looking for:

Year: Doesn't matter
Engine: Doesn't matter
Condition: Complete/Close to it.
Rust: As little as possible! A solid car is a must. I don't mind doing a little bodywork, or welding small patches, if needed. Nothing too crazy.

Budget: around $4-6k for the right car.

Basically, I'm just looking for a solid car that's not too far gone and could maybe, just maybe, be something that I could drive as I work on it. I don't mind traveling, either

Thanks!



Edit: I also have a really clean 1978 Honda CB750, if anyone is interested in trades. I'm located by Kingman, AZ. Thanks again!

It would be a good idea to let people know where you are located.

That CB750 is a great bike, had a 1980

I've gotta agree with that! I'm by Kingman, AZ.

Good morning,I have a solid 1972 Porsche 914 1.7.
I am in Virginia so not sure if that's to far for you?
You can reach me at 540-718-6109 to discuss?
Thanks Larry

Check Craigs List Orange County CA. There was an interesting project car there a week ago

I"m about to list our 73 2.0
there's a few pictures in my progress thread.
The engine is disassembled, the
case dipped and the oil gallery tapped and plugged. The crankshaft turned down
I also have another used 2.0.
the car is disassembled, seats out, trunk lids off.
located 20 minutes east of Buffalo.
5 Fuchs wheels 4 tires with no miles, 20 years old.
My contracting business got in the way of my project. Need to move on.

There is a nice 914 project on BAT right now. Looking up.

Pics of the CB750. I may be interested in it. $$ for your purchase / project...

Thank you everyone for all the replies! Here are photos of the CB750:

Thanks, I just looked at it! I will keep an eye on the auction.

I will be listing my 74 2.0 soon to make room in my garage.
The only draw back is that it has rust.
It is a complete car though, I have all the parts minus the front windshield. I have a bunch of metal purchased from RD and some patch sections.

Look for it in the next day or so. I will have pics of it as well.

Thanks
Kevin

Bump. Still looking...

Bump. That CB750 will be heading to Bringatrailer soon...

"Car has some rust..." yeah, that's a fair statement.

Man, I do not know how many '73 2.0 cars were Sepia Brown when new, but I bought one (sepia brown) brand new in early '74 and loved it. I believe mine had a darker brown interior though. Every time I see one, I wish I had my original '73 back. This car is definitely worth saving and appears to be all there. It would be a great project. GLWTS. Michael

Oh, and a comment about pictures - that is how to post pictures of a car for sale. Every inch of that car is pretty much there for a potential buyer to see. (IMHO)

I have a 73 914 2.0 you might be interested in, not within your price range, but I live in Kingman and you might want to look at it. My land line is 928-718-9849. We do not answer it, but leave your name and number. I will call you back and we can set up a time for you to come over. I'm a 50 year PCA member. The car has always been a southern Ca. and Az. car. Always garaged in my ownership. I've owned it since 1988. My name is Bob.Click to view attachment

I tried the number several times, but my calls aren't going through. My cell phone number is (928) 377-7390, If you wanted to try reaching me that way...?

Bump. Still looking

I just bumped and lowered the asking on a project I have. A very solid 72.

Bump.

I'm looking for something kind of like this:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/526607033500764/

This one sold before I could get out there. And it ended up selling for only $3,590!

Not sure if this is what you are wanting, but a 75 just came up on Facebook Marketplace about an hour ago in North Las Vegas for 2,500. Looks like the owner is motivated to sell. Sellers description states frame is 100% rust free with rust on the floor and battery tray. Good luck...

I'm just seeing this post now. I just checked and can't find it....

Sorry, I should have included the link. I went back into my history and looks as if it sold within a day or two. Not sure if this link will work or not.

I just checked it. Yeah, it's gone. That is the kind of project I'm looking for! Too bad I missed it. I didn't even see the ad in my feed.

Still looking
