Hey all, i have just acquired a silver 914 out of Maryland.
Vin is 4732900651.. its a 1973..
I have a 2 names of former owners and will be reaching out to them, hope they respond
Looking for other suggestions to build a history..

Many thanks
Kerry

Thats a really early 73. Is it an original 2.0?

i am not sure yet, have to find where the stamp is on the block

2.0 manifolds connect with the cylinder head with 3 studs, 1.7 connects with 4 studs, fast and easy way to tell.

All 73 2.0s would have had front and rear swaybars, while they were an option on 1.7s. Easy way to confirm it isnt a 2.0 would be the lack of a front swaybar.

The first 1000 2.0 cars (which if this is a 2.0 it would be one of the first 1000) are somewhat unique.

Welcome and enjoy getting to know your car and it's history. This is the right place for everything you could ever want to know.

What is her condition? running, rusty, post some pics if you are able

Nice.
Maryland is well in the old car Rust Belt. Do you know the usual places to look?
Take pics!

The history for your car will be the one you make with it.
Unless the car came with a racing log book or a big pile of receipts you probably won't have much. Remember, these were trash cars to people until the last decade or so. Kinda like the 356, few people kept records until they started being worth something. They were just fun, inexpensive sports cars.
