I have been looking for a 914 now for a couple of months. I have around 4k to spend and I would like to get a nice condition car that I can Autox on the weekends. I don’t need the car to be competitive just as long as its not the slowest car out there. My problem is I have been looking at several publications each day trying to find a 73-74 914 with a 2.0L engine without any luck. I went and looked at a couple but the had too much rust and damage on them. Would I be happy with just a 1.8L? I am not too familiar with how the 914 engines are laid out. Did Porsche use different blocks for the 1.8 and 2.0 or were the bores just different? I am basically looking for a nice looking straight car with a strong engine and tranny. What are the major differences between the engines? Are there any performance possibilities with a 1.8? Should I just keep looking for a 2.0 until I find one that works for me. I am in the San Diego, CA area if anyone knows of any cars that might fit what I am looking for. Thanks for the help.

QUOTE(netwolf232 @ Sep 29 2003, 09:10 PM) What is everyones opinon about buying a car without seeing it in person? I live in Maine and recently bought a car in Oregon. However, I did have a pre-purchase inspection on the car, which it passed. Based on the PPI, a lot of pictures and the opinions of many from this board, I basically bought it sight unseen and then flew out and drove it home. But I wouldn't have done it without the PPI. |
