Engine: 2.0L 4-Cylinder Engine?

Must be a typo.

The listed VIN isn't right either, and it doesn't have A/C as described in the ad, but that's a good thing. Could be a good buy, but as already mentioned, someone needs to check it out. Photos of the underside and VIN's would be nice.

A very rare option on the six, more rare than the AC that they say this car comes with. :-)

Maybe both were factory installed.

The vin makes sense if you put a 91 on the front of it. Yeah, no AC on that car unless they hid it real good.

Gauges are all original 6's, early rearview and outside mirrors.

Posted by: Ukusto Sep 25 2017, 08:23 PM

There's a pic of the engine in the additional photos.
It's a six.

The cut and flipped air cleaner snorkel is indicative there may have been a compressor added on the right at one time. Perhaps a bastardized VPC. No other clues from the pictures. Yes missing the "91" from the VIN but it is indeed a mid year 6.
I may cruise down for a look.

I always wonder why so many 914's got their trucks painted black. Was this a fad back in the late 70's lol

This car looks pretty original for that price. Just loose the stripes and paint the compartments and it would be 80 grand !

No dash vents either, must be a very early "6"

VIN is not in the database. I’ll be in Newport Besch Thursday and will stop by Phillips.
Phillips is considered a reliable dealer and been in the consignment and resale biz for a long time.
My neighbor just bought a fully optioned, low mileage 997 for a lot less than that -6

Jim, If you do, talk to Josh Ivie. He is a good friend of ours and he'll show you around.

Visited Phillips this am, Niko Markovich showed me the car and I took the following . pictures. His number is 949-574-7777. Nice guy

The car is in fair condition, it is a repaint from orange. Low miles.
