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"???

Actually, Geo. A. Dickel's wifes first name was Augusta...
And as Geo. Hussey has stated, the car, when it left his premises, WAS, and likely still IS, a collection of new and nearly new or very nice, used parts... a very, very nice collection at that!!! The point being, that IS NOT how it is being advertised! It is being represented as a PERFECT 1973 914 2.0, with 3,700 ORIGINAL miles... Which it is most certainly not... it is not a 1973, it is not, by birth, a 2.0 Liter, it does not have 3,700 original miles, and no matter how hard George tried, it is not a perfect specimen, simply because parts of the car have been repainted, and will eventually develop rust bubbles and other nastiness due to the fact that it has been "redone"... Yes, 356's with incorrect engines are sold every day, and most of them are refinished, and they still bring decent money... BUT... put one up against them that has it's original engine, original paint (even with some "patina", and original provenance, and the price will immediately double or even triple! And yes, the Zambezi Green car, above, certainly looks like a kissing cousin, except for the lack of "Tits", but if in fact it is a "Real" 1974 2.0, it is already worth far more, IMHO, than the car that provoked this thread! |
