Some of you may remember a rotten orange 914/6 that was on ebay




The car was reposted and I noticed the seller posted more pictures than he/she intended to. I downloaded them all and forgot about them. I just looked through them and came across this

Great work Turbonet! Am I reading 9140430868? I hope someone younger and with better eyes can read that and verify. We need to add that into the data base if not there already once verified.

... can't say for sure, but it looks more like 9140430966 to me

Posted by: turbonet Oct 14 2017, 07:10 AM

I see it as 0966

Posted by: DM_2000 Oct 14 2017, 07:23 AM

I see a duck flying through the forest. . .

It is 09 , probably 8 then a rounded bottom ( 0 , 6 , 8 )

A better way is to have legible numbers handy then compare / overlay subtle differences. ( good number on top then bad number on top. ) A 9 has a smaller top circle than a 8 for example.

Also look at attached reversed pic.

it is NOT:
914 043 0960 - Adriatic Blue
914 043 0961 - Silver
914 043 0967 - Ivory
914 043 0968 - Silver

I think we can rule out:
914 043 0962
914 043 0964
914 043 0969

so that leaves:
914 043 0963
914 043 0965
914 043 0966

Just have Harrison Ford tell the computer to raster and enhance. It will be like a neon sign then.

Haha I was thinking CSI

Doesn't look like a 3,5 or 6 to me. Looks more like 0. Maybe a 6

Posted by: arne Oct 14 2017, 10:14 AM

The lower circle looks too complete to be a 3 or a 5, and seems most like the preceding 6. I’m leaning toward 0966.

I know car 960 and this is not it!

Nice job. Was pissing me off that someone is going to VIN swap this car to another shell. Makes this much more difficult to do now even without all the numbers.

Posted by: gms Oct 14 2017, 10:18 AM

I think it does not match a 3 so well

not so much like a 65

Posted by: SirAndy Oct 14 2017, 11:12 AM

Y'all need to brush up on your Photoshop skillz ...


Most certainly 0966

@Gustl and all the other analysts here. Yes, I agree to the 0966. For me it also looks extremly like a "6" at the end of the VIN.

BTW: are there any other interesting pictures you can share? I did not find the new ebay ad.

Posted by: Mike Fitton Oct 15 2017, 10:55 AM

Color looks like Signal Orange, could call PCNA give them the 0966 number and see what they say for color.

Posted by: turbonet Oct 15 2017, 12:45 PM

I'll look. I actually had to go into windows temp files to get this one. I remembered I'd seen it but didn't really pay attention at the time.

The seller relisted the ad for some reason and accidentally included this as one of the pictures but only for a short time. They were deleted shortly after the realist but because I'd viewed them I was able to pull the pictures out of my temp files.

Not even sure why I did that.

Auction ended a while ago but can still be viewed in completed listings.

That car was sold privately not on ebay.. The buyer wanted it posted on ebay with the VIN from another car. It was part of the deal.

That is not the correct the VIN for that car but another 914-6 they had.

The buyer wanted it posted there for reasons unknown to me with a different VIN.

The car came with an original Oregon state title
