A lot of good info on this thread and I stand corrected on optioning of '73s.
Here is a CL listing that may be worth a phone call. https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/d/porsc...6229943679.html |

PS to OP - if you are looking at 1.7s as an option - then I'd suggest staying away from the California 73 1.7 which were seriously detuned to only 69 HP net & pretty "doggy." If this one was originally sold new in CA, then you may be disappointed in its performance.
IMHO the 1972 MY 1.7 "914/4" were the sweet spot - with good power (70-72 1.7 same HP/TQ), but with the tweaked/tightened-up tail-shifter, moveable passenger seats, L & R sides dash fresh air vents, & a few other improvements over the 70-71 MY 914s - but with a tad better power at 80 HP - better than even the 49 state 73 1.7 IIRC, & much more than the 73 CA 1.7, & as good as or a tad better than the 74-75 MY 1.8s, & almost as good as the 76-76 MY GC 2.0s - especially close to the 75-76 2.0s with the crapalytic converters for CA cars - but the AG ones in 72 have chrome bumpers, over those later 75-76 1.8s & 2.0s with the big black impact bumpers (unless you like those or for safety reasons, cuz the 70-74 steel ones even with "tits" don't protect much at all).

So when I spoke to the seller last night he did say it has a respray so most likely the miles are 161k. The title he has is from the PO and it shows 61k, not sure how long the PO owned it for.
Anyone want to go check it out for me? Free drive in another 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Also he said he would take $9600, but that was when it was a 2.0, now that it's not I'm thinking less, but the seller probably won't see it that way. |

QUOTE(Tom_T @ Jul 31 2017, 09:44 AM)  If it is a 2L with the wrong air cleaner/filter box on it - then the GA code will be at the base of the oil filler tower at the top of the air cleaner in your pic above, but then as other said it's the wrong intakes & bolts. Not even worth looking for the engine code; without the 2.0 heads it's not a 2.0 motor. It's a 73 1.7, period. --DD |
