Looks very clean and original
Nice example of an unmolested 1971 2.0

an original '71 2.0 ? (so its a 6 ?)

Not that I am a nit-picker, but I'm going to pick this one nit.

If this were an unmolested 1971 2.0, that would make it a 6 cylinder car.

Damn, I have to type faster.

It has /4 rims......and a /4 VIN.

Then the unmolested 1.7 motor fell out.....

Looks like a movable passenger seat as well?

Edit: Nope guess not, hard to see through the windshield.

I just can't get past door trim pieces.

I cut up a '71 914 parts car last spring. It had the same trim. We bought it from a doctor who bought it in '72. There's a good chance that the dealer added it, although, that stuff has been available aftermarket for a LONG time.

Rick

Is that a vent on the dash panel (between dash and w/s)?

Yep, the 70 I had was just like. Hmmm,, $11k is alot so I hope he gets it.

Lawrence,

yup, somekind of vent. I have one also in mine (70 914). I don't recall any air going out of it. maybe if i put the red lever to move the air to the windshield i'll get air out of it.

If anyone is interested in buying this car, it's about 45 minutes from me. I would go look at if you'd like.

Id be interested as to why is has a 2.0 in it. Body looks in very nice condition. weather stripping is shot judging from the pictures. Maybe you could contact him and see if its a 2.0 4 or 6 and get alittle more history on it if you dont mind.

Way too much money for a 4. It doesn't even have alloy wheels...

My car doesn't have this vent in the middle of the dash like that, and it's a 70.

Is it a 914/4 thing?

The vin # indicates the car is a 4 banger.

The vent was added in 1971 to help with the defogging/defrosting of the windshield.

I've never seen a 1971 914/6 in person, so I don't know if this was only on the 4's. 6's may not have needed it, with the 2 extra cylinders and more heat generated.

look in "restorers guide to authenticity" - it has numerous pics. ill scan it later this week

Seller send me a few pic's.
What's with the 914 emblem on the back?

I've got a copy... just never seen a car with that vent before. Hmmm.

Motor

Vent in center of dash top is standard on all 70 and 71's (fours only). It is fresh air only, opens with the top lever (with fan). When dash was changed to provide fresh air vents at each end it was eliminated.

VegasRacer, the engine pic answers a question I have had about my '71........what is that ground tab on the fan shroud in front of the distributor? Apparently it's for nothing!

Thanks, Jim... I learned something new!
