Hey All!
I just traded my 1970 Ghia for Arizona '73 2 liter. I wanted a 914 since I was a kid and am overjoyed to finally get to call one mine! The last two weeks since I got it has been baselining the mechanical and electrical systems to get it into a drivable state. Things I've done so far:
It pretty quickly needs tires and alignment, new interior door handles, wiper blades Next it needs headlight motor debug, new body seals and weatherstripping all around and eventually paint (its primered at the moment) and a new interior Stoked, as rust seems to be non existent and the 2 liter has about 200 miles on it. PO set it up with a single carb, which works OK, but from what I read could certainly benefit from an upgrade. Any recommendations on where to look for sourcing an affordable option? Thanks!

Good model to start with. Unless the engine has been replaced it probably still has the FI cam. The single carb was the cheapest mod and it’s unlikely they went to the expense of changing the cam. You’ve got an unusual combination with chrome bumpers but no sail vinyl. Does your interior have the full console with gauge panel in front of the shifter? Good luck on the 914 journey. |

No console, no special gauges. Appears that someone went in and added some margin carpet to replace whatever the factory carpet kit might have been. |
