Bought from an estate sale a year ago, people split and wife had the title. Car came with the house.

More photos, I'm no expert, but that air cleaner doesn't look like one for a 2.0. I asked him for the engine ID, but the seller doesn't seem that adept. I did note the surface rust on bat tray as did he. Sticker build says 1/73

Sorry, I didn't see your added pix until after I'd posted.

This does not look like a 2.0, but a 1.7 with a 2.0 badge, & with more than the claimed miles. It may not even be a true backstory on the estate, divorce, etc. - so check the VIN for a stolen car too.

If it is a 2L with the wrong air cleaner/filter box on it - then the GA code will be at the base of the oil filler tower at the top of the air cleaner in your pic above, but then as other said it's the wrong intakes & bolts.

Pretty much all USA 2.0s built in Jan 73 were still the "914S" trim spec with both AG+PG, & this clearly is not.

Interior shot shows way more wear than a true 61K - my guess is 161K or maybe a carefully used 261K miles, with a repaint to make it look original/newer - so look for overspray & other repaint clues.

Even if it checks out as a nice & legal title 1.7 - then it may still be a good deal. Check the price vs. value at the Hagerty values chart by its actual in person PPI'ed condition level 1-4. It's priced at $1200 over the current 1.7 Avg. #3 of $9700 - so it would have to be a "Good+" 3.5-ish condition for $10,900 IMHO.

Use Jeff's evaluation form for the PPI -
