I ran across a listing on EBAY Item #224348635275 on a 1974 Porsche 914 with a 1967 911S 2.0L engine installed etc. The 67 911S engine was a sportier 2.0L engine Porsche that put out reportedly 180 hp, with 144 lb torque. Looking at the overall car it looks pretty rough! Looks like someone has put the oil tank in the front compartment and not real sure whats going on in the engine compartment. If someone has the time could they look at this listing and give me your thoughts. I have asked the seller to clearify what’s going on in the engine compartment and some engine numbers, no reply.

total disaster, but worth the money for the parts., SO if you consider that you are purchasing a six cylinder engine and five lug suspension and fuchs wheels, it is worth buying. Who knows about the engine with that turbo charger butched into the car?

Wow. Somebody started quite the science project on that one. Twin turbo charged, "creative" oil circuit and many other things that you just can't tell what they were up to. Looks like they read an engineering book that taught them fins are good for cooling so they put them everywhere they could.
Chassis is a nightmare, looks of indications of serious rust (bubbles at a-pillar, pass side jack point missing, valences barely attached, ...) And what's with the later style bumper on the front? Did someone forward date the front bumper back in the day? Used to happen on 911s. Maybe there were some motivated 914 owners too. BHCC finds another perfect "candidate for restoration". |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Maybe... engine may be total junk but, if it's a real 2.0 S then the engine is worth the $14.5k. WHAT A FRIGGEN ABORTION THOUGH!!!

Did you see the seller? Beverly Hills Car Club. So, no surprise it's such an "excellent candidate for restoration".
I have to wonder where they find these "wonderful" examples. They can't all come from the bottom of a lake. |

Seriously doubt it is a 67 S engine..
Mechanical Fuel Injection wasn't around in a 911 till 1969 as far as I remember. It could be a 1969 S engine though... |

I felt like it was probably worth there asking price for parts but still too many unknowns without seeing this one in person to verify what you were actually buying!

What's in that package above the trailer hitch? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Spend 5k more now and get better car. But not one from BHCC.

I made contact with a salesman who is suppose to get me more pics and numbers off the engine and more info about the 5 lug conversion etc. and any history on the overall package etc. and if possible the owners name and number to dig deeper into this cars past or direction someone was going with it. I’ve dealt with BHCC once before on a 914 they had which after about 10 minutes talking to the salesman I said thanks but no thanks! They’re not exactly up front with you on everything, imagine that.

It seams like there is no history on the car! I’ve asked for someone to find the engine number which is stamped on the nose section of the case below the generator or the other two numbers visible on the left and right halves of the engine case behind the generator stand. The left is the case serial number and the right is the model number of the engine. Starting numbers should be between 750001 - 756195 and 836001 - 837070.

Salesman said the engine reportedly did turn over but wouldn’t start, at least its not locked up!
I doubt very much if they are able to retrieve the engine, case or model numbers. Do we have anyone from the forum that resides down in the LA area to inspect the car? VIN #4742915460. Not found in the forums data base. |

Would it be an aluminum case 2.0?

Beverly Hills Car Club never saw a POS that in their opinion was not an "excellent candidate for restoration". They should have been partnered up with "Motormeister". Same crap.

I believe in 67-68 they were Aluminum cases. If so that could be checked pretty easy with a magnet.
