Going to look at a local 76 this week. Its runs, but hasn't been on the road since 03. The guy started to prep for paint work and found himself over his head so he just parked it under cover in his garage. He said its "solid" but couldn't / wouldn't answer questions about the longs and such.

Anyway my real question is were all 76's 2.0L or could you still get a 1.8L? He claims its a 2.0 full optioned car. His asking price is 2K. I will post pictures later this week.

I believe so. I had a '75 2.0 and it was a great car. It seemed that Porsche had worked out all of the bugs by '75. I used it as a DE car and it never even hick-uped.
Good luck. Post some pics and let us know what happened.

Yes, All 1976 Porsche 914's were 2 liter only. There were no other engine options in 1976. In fact, many 76 cars had all the options as they were trying to get rid of all left over parts at the factory. However, seeing as the cars are all 30 years old, who knows what kind of things can happen, if they blew the motor up, they could have went a cheap way and put something else in there.

I was thinking he could use it to see which engine options came which years .That is what i have been doing to see if the cars i have been looking at have been changed.I am sorry,I was not very clear.
Just need to go to the classifieds to know that those prices are old (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Thanks guys. I was pretty sure they were all 2.0L in 76. Not sure what I would do with the car if its in good enough shape to save. But, hey you can never have to many 914s (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

According the Porsche records there were a few 76's with 1.8l. Most were 2.0l and at the end of the run seem to be fully optioned.

Well, I dont want to get into a pissin match with anyone, but I have read all through the 76 brochure for the 914 and it states everywhere in it taht the peppy 2 liter engine will move you down the road at an impressive pace. In the options, it doesnt say 1.8 anywhere. So if they built it, it was for Europe only.

In Europe there was NO 914 available in '76

All '76 brochures I own only show the 2.0 versions - no engine option

I've never seen any Porsche records, that proof that there was a 1.8 in '76 - but I do know that this doesn't proof the reverse (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Here is my 76 owners manual. DD says he has met a guy that owns a 76 with the 1.8l. We discussed this very topic last year about the Vins and what was available. It was posted listings the number of 2.0l cars and 1.8l cars. Thats why there was listed for years that there were 4076 76 cars built. Those were the number of 2.0l's and the rest were 1.8's. There was a total of 4100 cars built.

I'd want to see the COA for the 1976 1.8 before I'd believe it. They would be rarer than a Grasshopper.

Just looked at a 76 sales brochure online no mention of a 1.8. I think on the 76 owners manual they just changed the year on it from the 75.

Unless you are Nathan, and have one, that you abandon.

Are the last 1.8s (motors) not all 74 production?

I don't have the Vin data handy but it lists 25 1.8l in 76. They would be very rare indeed.
