There is a 914 for sale on evilbay. The ad says its a 76 2L and that the HP rating is 95?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2489744200

Is that true? Seems kind of low for a.. well.. sports car?

What gives? :-)

From what I have seen, plus from my own interest, horse power is not the reason people have 914's. It's more a matter of insanity (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) . I have always loved the 914, even when I could see them new on the showroom floor. I have a '76 2.0 that maybe puts out 60 rear wheel horse, but when you tie it together with the car and all of its little quirks it is well worth it if you "LOVE" 914's. IMHO
