Anyone have or know of a 914 that could be purchased. Need a car with a reasonable body. Mechanicals not important.

Is that one that was from Noosa ? Originally sold a year ago for around $20K now they want $30K !!!

Its a 914................with a six in it.

It was from up north - dont know where.

Andrew (owner) has done a fair amount of tidying up on it. New brakes / rotors suspension etc etc.

No he doesnt want $30k (well - i am SURE he WOULD take it you offered it)

914 with a 6 in it.
Well sort of.
It is an original 914/6..... not a 914 with a 6 in it.

If your bored read here for the differences

Must be a different car than the one I was looking at...................it was originally a 914, and they had put a 2.7lt 911 motor into it.


Craig Torrens - January 12th, 2008 at 02:17 PM

This is the one........................now on ebay for $25K

Is this the same one Baz ?

Hi

I love these cars, but I tried to sit in one once and gave up as I thought that I might have needed the jaws of life to get me out again. They would be great if your around 5 foot 5. Unusual for VW/Porsche to build a car for the vertically challenged.

Um, I'm 5'11" ( and a little -wide-), and I have a mate who is 6'5", and we once spent three weeks driving from Los Angeles to Texas and back in my 914. (and it was January, so the roof was on a lot of the time.

They have a TON of leg room - with the driver's seat right back, I can't get the pedals to the floor... and I put most car seats all the way back.

EDIT- They ARE low, though, so you wouldn't want to have a bad back or bad knees!
