Hi,
Some people may know me from the VW boards. Had a 914 when i was 18 and always wanted another. even though I know very little about them. So i rushed out and bought three of them!! I have two 75's and a 73. I bought them from the same person. None run, but the 73 is a fairly nice looking car, rust free. One 75 is worth restoring, pretty complete, very little rust. The other 75 is a shell and has a lot of rust. Has engine, but it in a box, torn apart. All are missing original fuel injection- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) None of them run. Question 1. How do I tell if the 73 has the 2.0 l or 1.7 litre engine without tear down? Question 2. Which car is more desirable, valuable, assuming both are the same shape, the 73 or 75. Question 3. Will a type 1 engine fit with the up right cooling, I have a 2332cc type 1with a DTM. Jake and me built it and Jake Raby dyno'd it at 210HP I want to build a type 4, but this motor would be fun until the type 4 was done. |

Other than an original 6 the 73 2.0 is themost sought after. If it is a stock 73 2.0 it is what you want. A stock 73 2.0 comes with the center console with gages. Also front & rear sway bars. Does it have Fcuh's or steelie's? Should have fuchs but they get changed around so you never know. Also the 73 doesn't have all the smog crap that came on them in 75 & 76. The 75 & 76 also have the big heavy rubber bumpers.
Sounds like you have a great start! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
