I'm no expert but this ad seems weird to me

[Canarydelia]

Anyone else seen this ad for a "rare 914 turbo" which to me seems mighty questionable in both detail and authenticity but I'm happy to be told otherwise...

I've never heard of a factory 914 turbo - I think it's a load of old cobblers.

Might even be a scam looking at the non existent feedback

Also discussed here I see

I just logged on to say exactly the same thing ! An OE fit turbo is news to me. I'm sure it's possible he's just repeating what the American salesman told him.

I'm up that way next week - might go for a sniff

[Mr Pharmacist]

I've already messaged him to go and have a look seeing that he's local to me!

I think mines a turbo. Oh hang on that's the heater fan in the engine bay not a turbo. I'm sending that new 914 book back I got last week (the one with Kev's car on the front) I can't find any info on the factory turbo model!

That level of stupidity is not surprising these days. Probably does not know how to do an internet search either.

I've posted a link to the ad on 914world - I'm sure they'll all be chuckling at 'those dumb Brits' but it would be interesting to know the car's Californian history. You can tell it really is a turbo 'cos it shows the badges but they're not fixed on. Sure there's a logical explanation.

Interesting little collection in that gritty Yorkshire shed - like someone flew over with a bag of cash and came back with some shiny cars.

In one shot, it's another car too (with mismatched wheels)

[Mr Pharmacist]

I thought that but there are actually 2 black 914's in there if you look closely and one does has fuchs

That's right, so which one is for sale?

[Nick Moss]

The "Turbo" version claims to have 911 suspension so it must be the one with Fuchs, the other one has 4 stud hubs.
