Can anyone share with me their thoughts on this 914? Seller says '73 2.0. The car has all black bumpers, no fog lights, etc. Is it possible it was original like this?
Many thanks! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewIt...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT |

Well, well, well. This car is a true paradox, though it appears to be a really nice example of "something".
Obviously, the service book, and all displayed manual items, is for a 1972 model (one the would have been produced in May of that year). BTW, it could be concieved as liable to reproduce the owner of the '72 manuals info. But the VIN tag is that of a '73. All the interior appointments seem to be those of a 2.0. The wheels are obviously bogus. The rear bumper should not have "tits" for a '73 model. I think the seller is just plain unknowledgeable about what he has. And it's a nice 914. Not to be unexpected for a nearly 40 year old car, but at the price, is unexcusable. |

"I think the seller is just plain unknowledgeable..." "...but at the price, is unexcusable." (FYI - inexcusable) Blister - You have a knack for saying some really dumb stuff...your tag line fits you perfectly - from what I read of your opinions. I don't believe a bidding price has got anything to do with an owners "knowledge level" or obligation of such - the worst kind member on this board are the originality nuts who "know" everything. Thank God there only a few gods around the World. Questions or bait? The guy is selling a car, not taking a test. The car is very nice...too bad it is not perfect (like ours of course).

Easy fella..........no need to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Iffen I were to be spending that kinda money, I would certainly be asking some questions.....and didn't the original thread poster request a "share with me their thoughts" response? And since this is the originality and history forum, isn't it about seeking factory authenticity and the dialogue and exchange of ideas in search of that? And I suppose I should feel diminished and unworthy because my 914 is "too bad it has a stock 4 cylinder" as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Paul |
