Hi, I am looking at purchasing a rust free 914 2.0. I have a 1961 356b and it needs some good company in the garage.
The car is in the next state and I checked it over very well last week. It looks real good, but I called the guy (owned the car for over 20 years) and he can't find the engine number just in front of the Oil Filler stamped in the case. The car has has had the engine rebuilt. His mechanic put webbers on many years ago when the FI became problematic. Why wouldn't there be an engine number on the case? Factory repplacement case? I have the vin. Is there a db that will indicate this number is in a "range" 2.0 liters manufactured back in the day? Would Signal Orange have come from the factory with a Brown interior? Thanks, Brian |

QUOTE Would Signal Orange have come from the factory with a Brown interior? Yes. But typically they where 70-72 cars and not 73-74's. I suggest you make sure it is a 2.0. The number one mistake I see when people buy cars: Everyone is told they are buying a 2.0 because this is the main car that fetches the most money besides a 914/6. I have seen 2.0 cars passed down through 2-3 people before somebody points out that it is actually a 1.7 or a 1.8 (or a 1911 which some will call a 2.0) Pay attention to the heads. B |
