I added another 914 to my collection. It's not that I don't have enough work to do on my 914-6 but this is more of a father and son project. I found this 73 2.0 appearance package is the southern tier of NY. I worked out a deal with the p/o and I picked it up today. I believe the org 2.0 engine was sold to a person in PA. I didn't care too much about that as I'm going to be installing a 6 into it. The car is pretty much complete other then the missing engine. It needs work in the usual spots but otherwise the chassis is in good shape. I took a few quick shots when I got it home but I'll take a few more on Sat.
