Now it's not a real 6 and the motor is gone to Germany but it was FREE!
Story: The guy is a German exporter. He sells mostly 911's and ships to Germany. This 914-6 was going to Germany when the buyer decided he would pay to have it stripped and only the parts were shipped. The export guy posted on CL for a free 914-6 with 911 5 lug conversion. The car still has the 914-6 bulkhead mount. The 911 callipers are missing. It is a little rusty and a PO removed the jack posts. The exporter hacked the engine bay some to get the oil tank out. There's also a stress crack in the passenger door jam. Everything but the spare tire is in the front trunk. Back pad is there with retracting seatbelts behind. It has a BAR sticker for the engine conversion 2.4L. So it would be legal in Cali. I'm not sure yet what I will do with it. I do need a rear clip for a trailer project. I may part it out. The wheels I supplied to make it a roller. I will add the VIN to the data base.

I had just seen this on CL...great pickup. What kind of 5 lug conversion does it have?
Hm...if you decide to part it out, give me first crack at the 5 lug. I'll even help you part it out.
Wow, Talk about a score!!!!
I should mention, the dash has only a single crack. otherwise mint! Hard to decide what to do with it. Race Car? Driver? Parts?
Here's some more pics. I think East Cost guys and them dudes in the UK would kill for a roller with this much rust. I can't believe I'm considering cutting this one up.

On behalf of the East Coast guys and them English dudes, I'd like to say we can't believe it either. Who do we have to kill?
Seriously, though, I've just been at a PCA picnic and I spent a good hour discussing rust with a fellow 4 jack stands and a pile of rust owner and I think that if both of us weren't as deep into our projects as we are, it would probably be worth a grand plus the cross country shipping for either of us to have started with that roller. You'd have had to throw in four five lug VW wheels and old tires for the grand.

If you cut I would love a few parts.....
I'm in for the engine mount if it can come out. It looks bolted in ?
T.C.
Try to sell it for a while before cutting it up. The 5 lug parts and bulkhead
mount are $1000 by themselves. Someone could save a lot of time and money
by starting with this car.
They aren't making any more of these.

Your contemplating cutting it up? Send the chassis my way if you dont want it... (PS I wouldnt need the 6 mount)
I say make it a driver! I smell a suby conversion...
All the missing parts require just a few days of bolting stuff on. Fixing a rusty shell
is $1000s in parts and 100s of hours.
Someone could save themself a lot of heartache by starting with this.
I'd be on it if it was closer to me and I did not have 2 more projects in line.

I found some major hidden frame damage. Goober welded and then hidden behind caulking. Someone did a repair? Lousy welding, then filled in the voids with black silicone and covered that with undercoating. I knew the jack post missing was a red flag so I poked around and found it. There is also a major stress crack in the passenger door jam. Looks like I'm going to cut it up and part it out. If I lived anywhere else, I would consider fixing it. There is just too many good rollers here in California. Time to make my 914 trailer. Now I can cut up my motorcycle trailer and graft the two together.

I forgot to mention the free mouse that came with the car. If anyone wants parts or this mouse PM me.
Are you going to need parts? I just picked up a 914/4 in Reno. It's a 1975 model. I'm a 911 person and negotiating for a /6.
I'll keep some parts and sell the rest.
Sad... Yup thats a trailer...
Mike,
Too bad it wasn't in better shape. I just got a 76 that we got all the parts off that we needed, was going to offer it up to you for your trailer project, the floor on the passenger side is mostly gone but the rear of the vehicle is still pretty good except the hell hole area needs some work.
It probably will end up being cut up.
Dave
Dave,
Lemme know if you want to part with it, I have a bunch of 914 projects that I would love to do.. BARE tub would be perfect to me
PM me, Maybe there is some 914 parts you need or labor help?
