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...

We have a 1973 Porsche 914 2.0 project

PROS
-appearance package with center console, rear sway bar, and 15x5.5 Fuchs
-rare 98 paint code paint to sample Sepia Brown
-fairly solid unwrecked body, car is untouched and unmolested
CONS
-Car does have some rust. Some in the hell hole, spare tire well, and rear trunk area
-It hasn't run since 1992.
-converted to carb long ago but still have the fuel injection ECU

We're in St Augustine, Florida. Here is a link to many pictures and several videos of the car.

"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

Sent you a Direct Message. I have one.

Bump again

No affiliation but may be a good project. 2.0L car and may be a Zambezi green car.

Another bump

What is your final goal for the car? Restoration? Hot rod? Engine swap?

My goal is to be driving a 914 with an air cooled engine that isn't being eaten alive by rust. I want the search to be over

It took me almost two years before I found a solid project although I had to pay a little more than your price range...

If you are a true enthusiast and not a "flipper"...

Put the word out with your friends and co-workers, PCA members (you can join under the test drive program if you are not currently an owner), have some business cards made up, pass out at car shows, other car events.... Word of mouth and being cordial has always worked for me.

If you're not in a hurry, with a little effort one will find you at your price.

If you can swing doubling your budget, Bruce Stone has a nice, freshly painted 2.0 project 914. I think the engine was just rebuilt???
Here in Riversdie.

Hi Oscar, This wouldn't happen to be that yellow one from Big Bear would it ?

I don't have a problem paying more for the right car. I just reached out to Bruce. We'll see what happens!

This is exactly what I'm looking for. If it weren't so far away, I'd pick it up right now.

Until you lay eyes on it, you have no idea about the condition - no matter what the seller says.
