Help with 914 for sale on eBay, Real 2.0 Liter??????? Options

[2pointOH]

Clubbers--

Got a friend who is interested in jumping into the teener market and needed some help on a car he saw on eBay. For sale in York, PA. Auction din't close late last week. Owner says it is a '73 2.0 liter but we're having trouble authenticating an engine code (GA for 73 2.0 liters correct?). Auction ended just over $3K. Owner is looking for $7,500.

Couple of Q's we have:
1) is this a real 2.0 liter?
2) is this a factory or custom interior (we look to change it)?
3) other problems to look for (engine bar, floor boards, undercarriage??)
4) where do we find/confirm the engine code?

Here's the item number to look it up: 4650963224

Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1973-Ivory-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Any advice or someone in the area that can check it out would be GREATLY appreciated.

THANKS!!!!!!!!

Interior cloth is all "custom", not factory. Engine should be GA code (hard to see, but stamped on a flat surface just inside of the distributor location. There should be 3 studs holding he intake manifolds to the heads, not 4 as on a 1.7/1.8/bus. The spark plug wires should enter the engine tin on the side, not on the top as with 1.7/1.8.

From the looks of the paint, that is not a $7500 car. Maybe $4500 IF there is no significant rust.
