Probably not an original 2.0. In '73 the 2.0 all came with appearance package, Fuchs wheels, etc.
Doesn't mean it's a bad example, but it is lacking a lot of stuff that a 2.0 should have come with. |

I thought I heard of some members on here that said not all 73 2.0 had the appearance package and other things. Vin 4732911394 |

Vin 4732911394 Correct - not all did come "loaded" with the Appearance & Performance Groups of options. See the 73 Model numbers here: http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/ModelNumbers.htm AFAIK in the US, pretty much all early 73 MY 914 2Ls came with AG+PG up to about March or April -ish 1973 & marketed as the "914S" trim package/sub-model - even after Porsche Germany forced VoA to stop the "914S" marketing campaign. However, the West German DM was escalating so fast against the dollar, that the formerly $5299 "914S" was about $7200 by the Spring, so they offered decontented 914 2Ls without the AG+PG so they could still offer a 2L at $5299+/- in their ads. The dealers here called them the "Sport" trim package/sub-model. Dave Kawashima on here has a beautiful Orange/Black example of a late 2L "Sport." My 914S Thread FYI, & it has Dave K.'s 73 2L "sport" pix there too: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=107851 Dave's 914-2.0 "Sport" - (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-12234-1297020396_thumb.jpg) However, the "Sport" trim package/sub-model had the 2L Fuch 4-lug lightweight forged allow wheels & sway bars of the PG option package - not the fully stripped down "Standard Equipment" as noted in Jeff Bowlsby's Model Numbers chart at the link above.
