Road Scholars has this 73 2.0 up for sale on their site...
http://www.theaircooledguys.com/Inventory/...61/Default.aspx Supposedly only 3,700 original miles... And who can spot the first three "Idiosyncrasies" of this supposedly "New" 2.0??? There are probably more, but I stopped counting after three very obvious ones... So, if you have seen this one in person, tell us what you think... "Fake or Real Deal"???

It's outrageous that this car is misrepresented with respect to mileage and originality. With this forum as active as it is, seller beware! The 914world gonna ferret you out and make you tell the truth!

The 914world gonna ferret you out and make you tell the truth! Paul Paul really, any of us old 914 guys can spot that car as a total fake. Granted (if I do say so myself) nice but in no way original. It is really stupid for a company to actually THINK that that car has only 3500 miles as well. They HAVE to know better or it blows their whole representation of ANY Porsche they have for sale at their facility. |

Paul really, any of us old 914 guys can spot that car as a total fake. Gotta disagree with you there George. I doubt that there are more than a handful of people that have seen enough different 914's to spot one bolt that gives it away as an engine transplant. The only visual clue that I know of between a 73 and a 74 is the bumpers and with the replacement we couldn't pick up on that either. What's up with that 'VIN' - is that a chassis number. edit: I was going to suggest that event the dealer could have been fooled by this car but I guess if he looked at the vin or the title he would know. Might not be able to spot the engine swap though. |

I was just thinking that from my observance of all of the comments on this site that there are some real experts here when it comes to spotting a fraud, I dare say at least as good as I am! (no kudos here for me just 33 years of looking at them every day!!!!!!!!!!!) |
