Posted by: vwguy Apr 17 2016, 06:30 AM

Greetings,
I'm looking at a 1974 2.0
Trying to find out if it has original engine?
Vin. 4742901536
Engine ga007746
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

If the current owner/seller has a Porsche "Certificate of Authenticity" (COA), then it's will be on there.

If not, then you can try to call the PCNA 800# for Customer service div. for the COAs, explain that you're looking to buy it but want to verify that it's a "real 2.0", & give them the info & ask if they can confirm it. You may need to tell them that you'll order a COA if/when you buy it for your own records (they can't sell a non-owner one anyway).

Good Luck! beerchug.gif

The engine #'s bounce around a lot, however I think the engine could be original.

Hey thanks so much for your input!
I'm really hoping to score an original 2.0. Air cooled Vw s all my life and always wanted a 914. Thanks again. Kurt beerchug.gif
