I'm brand new to the forum as I have an opportunity to buy a 1976 914 2.0. The seller is vague on questions due to health problems. He's telling me he spent $7000 on engine mods. Claims it's 3.0 now and possibly 275-300 hp! Is this even possible? From the pics, which are terrible, it looks like 2bbl carbs and a blue circle shaped airbox in between. Not much to go on and he won't answer questions. Help!!

This is a tough room for sure. But if you read all of the posts you will learn an incredible amount. We are all pretty good a spotting issues and problems with these cars. The best you could do is is assume it is a core motor since it is nit running and needs to be rebuilt. Also crawl all over, under and in the car checking for rust and signs of someone having covered up rust. Make a cash offer assuming non-running motor that could be making 110 HP and a body that has rust and needs work. So, $2,500-ish as mentioned above. |
