Doesn’t seem to know about the new air-cooled tax, and I really wish I had 2k to go pick this thing up. (Link in comments in case of Kinja)

My folks had a 77 type 2 with the 2.0, first year for fuel injection I believe - it was a surprisingly torquey little motor. The cold start valve was sh!t, but once you weld a plate over it, it runs wonderfully.

I’ll pitch in for a group buy/time share deal.

Hard cold starts add character.

I had a 76 Super with fuel injection. I had blocked the painful memories of the damn cold start valve. Thanks now I’ll have nightmares.

Buy it. Put the Type4 engine in a Ghia coupe. Put NA 993 drivetrain in the 914. You gotta keep it aircooled. Bam nice daily and track car.

For $2000, I’ll fly out to Wyoming and drive it back to Ohio.

haha, from the looks of it, you might need to budget a lot of time for that trip. And bring some tools. Actually just bring a flatbed trailer. But a $2k 914 and a trip to Jackson!

This is all true, but a $2K 914 might just be worth it.
