Interesting Car on E-Bay

Here's one on E-Bay. It's described as "Restored"

I'm wondering what exactly they mean by "Restored"

Check out the paint! Looks like it was polished with sandpaper. Restored is only in the eyes of the owner.

Hmm. Don't care for the way they redid the seat cushions, either. Nor the cheesy steering wheel cover. And a single carb and Monza exhaust? Oy!

And where are the Fuchs wheels that should be on a 73 2.0?

The passenger side door panel looks pretty nice.

Those seat cushions are out of a 1970. I know because that's what mine are. They do look unusual in that pic, but look better when taken in whole.

Hey c'mon guys. He says right there, "This is not your Mamas 914" Mama would have used some Pledge on that paint.

"The sail vinyl is new" - Maybe so, but only on the passenger side.
