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).

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Cracker, TKO asked the question...in the O&H Forum. Several of us responded, as we should have. I reviewed the eBay post and responded with my remarks (and I could have gone way further) about some of the issues with this car from an O&H stanpoint, as requested. Tom_T took it to another level, justifiably. I asked the seller a question about the rear bumper, which he has not responded to. I noted that the 914 was apparently a very nice example, with some issues. The seller is probably not as knowledgeable as people of this forum. He/she has not responded to my question at this date. I was NOT baiting the seller! Why would I? Bids have been cast, and he's in line to get a really nice price for the car. Once again, this is the O&H Forum. The question was asked of this Forum. We investigated and reported out observations. Now, regarding your attack of me. Uncalled for, quite frankly. First, I really am dissapointed that you went to Andy to get satisfaction! I may be the moderator of this forum, but am permitted to post my knowledge of 914's. There's a reason that I have agreed to this position. That is to protect the information, with the help of others, regarding the originality of 914's. I am an original owner. Others that help this Forum are also original owners, or close to it. Collectively, we have the knowledge, experience and research to know what we are talking about. That knowledge crosses model years and models. We are not dummies here. Many of us in this Forum have cred's to prove what we know. What are yours? Would you care to impart your knowledge of 914 models, as original and delivered? Would you? From where do you get your knowledge? I've tried to keep this response as positive as I can, but you need to rell me why I'm not doing my job here. While I'm responding...don't call me "blister". I can call yopu names too. |
