I just got off the phone with a guy here in Kansas who said he had a 1971 914 GT.
He claims that it was originally a 914/6, but that the engine was damaged, and the previous owner put in a 1.7/4 just to keep the car running. They couldn't find a 2.0/6 to put in the car. Anything is possible, given enough money. Does this make sense? -Rusty |

I know that aside from a cardex, it's near impossible to *really* tell. There were 400 M-471 kits sold to dealers. This guy doesn't seem the cardex-seeking type.
Any sure-fire signs to look for? A 908 engine would be a dead giveaway. :-) |
