Hi 914World,

New(ish) member with new project - a 1975 2.0L. It's certainly a project, but I think it's a great starting place. The seller is extremely knowledgeable about the car and helpful with local contacts who are in the 914 scene. It's been on the local CL for a while for more than I wanted to pay, but was recently able to strike a deal. Here are some specs about the project:
  • "Rust Free" car with the only rust being on the surface of cleaned metal
  • Hell-hole looks very clean
  • All original glass, bumpers, interior, suspension, rims, etc. are included
  • 901 "side shift" transmission has been taken apart, inspected, and rebuilt
  • Lowered hard mounts for drivetrain
  • There are some spares included as well (doors, top, misc. / etc.)
The engine is the gem of this purchase in my opinion. Here are the details:

2055cc "build" project in pieces currently (with matching numbers)
  • All balanced / clearance as necessary by H&H in Dallas
  • 96mm Pistons / Cylinders
  • 9.0:1 compression ratio
  • 3-angle valve job on 2.0 Heads
  • Iskenderian Cams #485128 Grind #VP-228
  • Claude's Buggies' Lightened Lifters
  • Lightened Flywheel
  • Custom High RPM Cooling Fan
  • Rotating assembly has been coated with polymer or ceramic coatings by Polymer Dynamics in Houston
I've put down a deposit to hold and will be picking up on Monday. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. Plans are for a mostly stock rebuild with an attempt to retain as much value as possible.

Looking forward to this one!
