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"???

I flew down to Atlanta alittle over 5 years ago to look at that car, as being sold by a private party. It was represented as an original 2.0 at the time. But, after some research, I discovered it was originally a 1.8. I was looking for a concours level car at the time. That car has alot of nos parts that George put on, which are certianly worth some money and are very appealing. Such as the complete interior and fuchs. The body in my opinion was in good shape. Certanialy not concours level. There was pinkish acid stains on the rear trunk lid, surface rust under the whole undercarriage, and the respray that George refered to previously. One of the bumpers, the front I believe was showing signs of rust through the rechrome. Engine had plenty of punch to it, although the accelerator cable was sticking. I can go into greater detail if someone is seriously interested in the car. I decided against it for a variety of reasons. Can't comment on it's current condition. Can only comment on it from what I recall from seeing back then. I believe I still have coorespondence saved in my emails on that one. Be very curious as to what they are asking for it.

Be very curious as to what they are asking for it. believe it or not that was a brand new factory bumper that we had installed on that car. I saw the flaw you are speaking of several years later after we sold it and was disappointed that the factory bumper did that. The under carriage is typical for a non undercoated southern car, some rust color throughout but not rot! That is par for the course on most of the even no mile 914s these days. It went to two owners after we sold it and they were obviously non Porsche concours enthusiasts, and did not give the car the attention it needed. |
