Looking to buy a good 914 project with minimal rust, decent body, and with an engine and tranny. Let me know what you've got!

wrong forum

Best of luck for that money...true.
For that money you will get a reasonable body with worn out motor (1.7) and suspect trans , suspension and brakes,unless you are great @ DIY you will be a money pit.
Pop over to the WTB section for better results,good luck.

Sorry. I bought the last one on the planet like that in 2017....with great body, engine and tranny......a gift from above/miracle in my thinking.

But I believe in miracles - so maybe you'll find another....

Under 3K gets you a rusty parts car.

I have a 76 2.0

Joined today, first post. Nothing fishy here.

Really GN and how much have you spent ?,for another 3K-4k+ you can buy a better car for way cheaper than fixing a shiter...that was my point.
A driver car is a much better option then you drive it and sort all the issues as you go...much better start,rolling resto's are easy.
Besides Marks answer was 100%.

I found this one for you .........

Thought I was just confirming what both of you said.......

Four years ago that $3k price point got me a running driving 2.0 914 that all I've done really is new SS fuel lines, new brake lines and calipers from PMB and a few small little fixes. I did opt to change out the Rivieras because I think they're ugly but that's personal preference.

I have a 1974 projects car in an Olympic Blue for sale. Car is NON-running and has sat since 96. Car has been stripped down and are ready for body work to be done. 1.8 liter motor still installed and turns. Installed with side shift tranny. I picked it up last October for restoration. All has to go due to loss of job and funds to continue it.
The car is recently titled non op to me.

But what fun is that?

And not sure what you mean by a rolling resto. Anything that is like a true restoration requires some amount of disassembly, and often taking the same things apart to fix different things--and taking things apart multiple times sounds like more work.

BTW, I would also be interested in buying a $15,000 914 for under $3000.

Just in case he passes on one

,very true ,I bought a clean low mileage restored roller including g/box and huge amount of upgrades to a "6" already fitted and included.
No regrets as I payed around $7200usd when our dollar was strong back then .
So many of these cars in this price range get resold after the owner pulls it apart and finds a shitstorm of rust and mechanical issues all which are not cheap on these cars.
