Saturday I'm looking at a local 73 with a 2.0. Just to be sure what should I look for to confirm that it is infact a 2.0 and not a 1.7. Given how many 914's I've looked at these past three months, seems a silly question, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) but all the others I stopped when I saw rust beyond my ability. I know the engine code should be a GB100 but where do you look on the engine for it.
Thanks for the advice. Doug |

Doug,
The obvious stuff also is the the 73 2.0 came with all of the goodies, IE-leather wheel, center con w-gauges, alloy's, chrome bumpers, padded roll bar and vinyl roll bar sail panels. My opinion is that it is relatively unlikely that a car would be a fake 2.0 and yet have all of the accessories...but, there could have always been an engine swap later on...if this is the case, look at all the stuff noted above. -BTW, I am in boston and have a 73 2.0, so depending on when and were I could take a look at it with you if you want some help. -Adam |
