A 914 that won't rust is an impossible find. They rusted. Just google 914 and hell hole. A rust free 4 cylinder can be $25k and you don't want to even think of the 914-6's prices.

Owned a '70 4 cylinder. Sold it maybe a week before the warranty ran out. The joke at work was the dealer had installed a name plate with my name on it as it was there so often. Audi had just come out with a $3500 can and the dealers went from selling $6+k 911/912s to two cheaper cars and their service and parts departments were overwhelmed. Mine was showing signs of rust after 2 years as a daily/only (I took it to go skiing a lot) and a doctor-to-be from Philadelphia bought my $3600 car for $2100 and I was glad to be done with it. Even though it was surely the most fun car I ever owned. Bought a BMW and curiously enough stopped getting tickets.
