I saw that ad... wonder if it is an actual -6... looks like an early car and has 5-lug Fuchs

Can we just put the whole ad in the "stupid things people say about 914's" thread?





Or is it the, "things stupid people say about 914's" thread?

It’s got a 914-8 badge, it must be factory...

I get calls about stashes like this all the time, guy says,
"You're the Porsche guy, you buy Porsches, right?"

"Yup!" I say

"I have 5 of them!" says he

"Great!" Say I.

"They are horrible 914's, they gotta be worth $10,000" says he.

"They just aren't....." I say.

"What do you know?" he sneers.

"I'm the Porsche guy, remember"
