THIS IS A 1971 914 WITH A 1.7 LITER FUEL INJECTED MOTOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN PAINTED BLUE BUT WAS ORIGINALLY SILVER. IT NEEDS PAINT AS IT IS FADED AND HAS SEVERAL CHIPS, SO REPAINTING IT THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS A DEFINITE OPTION. THIS 914 HAS HAD 2 REGISTERED OWNERS IN CALIFORNIA, MYSELF AND MY UNCLE WHO PASSED AWAY AND LEFT THE CAR TO ME. THIS IS A CALIFORNIA CAR WITH BLUE PLATES. THE ODOMETER READS 7532, SO I ASSUME IT HAS ROLLED OVER BUT AM NOT SURE. MY UNCLE WAS SOMEWHAT ECCENTRIC BUT METICULOUS WITH HIS CAR. THE OIL IN THE TRANSMISSION LOOKS BRAND NEW, THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE IS CLEAN... AGAIN MY UNCLE WAS METICULOUS WITH HIS CAR. AS FAR AS I KNOW THE CAR IS A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR (I CAN GIVE YOU ALL THE NUMBERS IF YOU TELL ME WHERE TO LOOK). ALL OF THE GAUGES WORK AND IT HAS IT'S ORIGINAL RADIO THAT WORKS. THE DOOR PANELS LOOK NICE AND ARE NOT TORN. THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM NEEDS TO BE REUPHOLSTERED. THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS A FEW PLACES THAT NEED ATTENTION. THE BACK PAD IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH ONE SMALL TEAR. THE CARPET IS NICE. THE DASH IS NOT CRACKED. THERE ARE 5 MAHLE 15" WHEELS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH CENTER CAPS, AND WITH 4 BRAND NEW TIRES. THE SPARE IS NOT NEW BUT FINE. THE CHROME BUMPERS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND SHINY. IT HAS DRIVING LIGHTS AND THE GRILLS ARE GREAT. THERE IS NOT RUST IN EITHER TRUNK AND THE FLOORS ARE NOT RUSTED AND SOLID, THE ROCKERS ARE SOLID. THE BATTERY TRAY IS RUSTED, IT HAS BEEN TREATED WITH RUST REFORMER AND A METAL PLATE IS UNDER THE BATTERY, THE TRAY STILL HOLDS IT'S WEIGHT. THERE IS NOT RUST IN THE HEADLIGHT BINS. THE FRONT TRUNK PULL HAS BEEN CUT AND HAS TO BE OPENED WITH PLIERS BUT OPERATES FINE LIKE THAT. THE REAR TRUNK HAS IT'S ORIGINAL JACK AND A SMALL TOOL KIT. IT HAS CARPET IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE FOAM PADDING IN GOOD SHAPE BENEATH IT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LINES ARE THERE BUT NOT HOOKED UP, I DON'T KNOW THE STORY THERE. THE BRAKE HANDLE SENSOR LIGHT SOMETIMES NEEDS JIGGLING TO TURN THE DASH INDICATOR OFF. THE LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON BUT SOMETIMES DOES NOT LIFT UP. THE CAR STARTS EVERY TIME AND RUNS FINE. IT STOPS FINE. THE CAR SHIFTS SMOOTHLY INTO ALL GEARS, DOES NOT GRIND OR POP OUT. THE BLINKERS, LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL WORK. THE THROTTLE PEDAL SEEMS TIGHT BUT OPERATES FINE WITH A HEAVY FOOT, (I THOUGHT IT WAS RUBBING ON THE FLOOR BOARD, BUT SEEMS TO NEED TO BE LOOSENED IN THE ENGINE BAY. I KNOW CARBURETORS BUT NOT MUCH WITH INJECTION). I WOULD KEEP THIS CAR BUT MY UNCLE DIED IN A CAR WRECK (OBVIOUSLY NOT THIS CAR), AND IT JUST REMINDS ME TOO MUCH OF HIM. PLEASE AS QUESTIONS, AND THANKS FOR LOOKING.
