I'm brand new to the forum as I have an opportunity to buy a 1976 914 2.0. The seller is vague on questions due to health problems. He's telling me he spent $7000 on engine mods. Claims it's 3.0 now and possibly 275-300 hp! Is this even possible? From the pics, which are terrible, it looks like 2bbl carbs and a blue circle shaped airbox in between. Not much to go on and he won't answer questions. Help!!

This car was listed a few weeks ago as a 6 for around $10K and the engine builder's name was listed. I can't remember the name but I looked him up and the guy is known to build horrible motors. So, the story has already changed.

So, the story has already changed. This sounds like the seller is a broker, looked on NADA for prices and is trying to make a sale of something they know nothing about. Calling a 4 a 6 is evidence of that. Also evidence that they didn't take a can of fuel and a few wires to make it run. |
