Good eyes, my pc screen is too dark to make out the wheels but the tank is a give-away. Probably a seller that doesn't know too much about the car and just pulled engine info from something else

There were factory sixes in 72. None were imported to the US. There may be some grey market cars here though.

They were unique in that they had a 4cylinder column and wiring harness, and a small adapter harness to hook up the 6cylinder relay board.

Sill had a VIN starting with 914 though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The Ignition Switch on a 72 914-6 is on the Column. And what do you think is wrong with the Interior and how would it differ?

This isn't a Factory -6

And a 72, I didn't think any factory 6 cars were built in 72.

There were only about 250 that were considered 72s and I believe all were manufactured in 71. I also recall that they were all sold in Europe. I did have a chance to see and ride in a 72 over 20 years ago. I don't remember how it got to the States.

I'm bummed that I sold my 70 six and even more bummed that I didn't buy a 71 six from the original owner 10 years ago. The guy worked at a friend's shop and he needed money. He said I could have the car for $15k. It had original everything and had something like 60k miles on it. It was driven in the 70's and pretty much was garaged until he sold it. I had the checkbook out and my wife said no. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
