Sorry, don't know how to include the picture.

Looks like there were a few backfires under that hood too.

$850.? Why is it so darn far away?

Daaaaaaang....... Look at those wheels. I'm not sure a set of wheels have ever suited a car so well.

In reply to 914Driver:

Yeah... but did you see the floor pics? or more accurately, the "what's left of the floor" pics? I'd love to have one of these, but that car needs a TON of work. And they simply aren't that valuable.

My buddy has some blue wheels like that. Didnt know what they were for...

Yeah well, as someone once said "He drives a 914 and has a Kombi for an Avatar"

$850 is a chap buy in for a pretty cool car.

Those are called Soccer Balls.

Seen one of these before, years ago. Thought it was a 750/850 GT though because it had a factory manual in the back of it for the GT car. Neat little car, though I was surprised to see it was FWD.

I hear these rust real bad at the bottom of the fenders.

At the bottom of the fiberglass fenders?

They did make stroker Sonetts, but they didn't look like this. It was the previous body style.

This looks almost exactly like my orange Sonett III did-- rust and all. I've had one solid one, but even it had been sitting long enough for the engine to lock up. I'm honestly not sure why so many of these cars met that fate. They're super simple to work on and the parts are very affordable and widely-available.

My uncle has one mothballed in AZ waiting for me to build a garage. He came to visit us once when I was 5 or 6 and took my dad and I for a ride. I rode in the back.
