I wonder what that carb setup is off of..Maybe a 412? looks cleanly done.

The VW 412 was fuel injected- at least the one I drove in highschool was!

What a POS that car was- but it was my gateway drug to the type 4 motor and my first 914.

I always thought a 412 would be cool

Looks like 73-74 bus carb setup but the air cleaner is a little different, rounder looking.

Would be cool if there were available end pieces for Weber IDFs.

The five-digit odometer shows approximately 55k miles. True mileage is unknown.
The mid-mounted 1.7-liter flat-four was factory rated at 80 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque when new, now has a carburetor conversion that was installed in place of the factory fuel injection system by the original owner. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The shifter cage in the rear is worn but shifts into all 5 gears and reverse.
Materials accompanying the car include owner’s manual, shop manual, historic 914 club publications, additional Targa top, spare windshield and trim, aftermarket dashboard cover, and various other spare parts.

Those carbs could have come from a european market 1.8 914. Is it my eyes or do the side markers look slightly misplaced, as if they were added later?

The original CL post has expired.
This is the latest post. I don't remember the price on the first post.
