Going to look at this 1973 914/2.0 next week.
Looking at this picture I am wondering if there is a problem with the suspension. Is the front cranked up and the rear drooping/collapsed?  |

If the front of a 914 is higher than the rear it will handle really floaty at speed. The front should be slightly lower than the rear.
