Isn't this the one in the thread where it turns out not to be a real M471 car and in fact might even be built on a /4 body? Someone bought it and it won't align properly even?

If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance

It certainly looks pretty.

those are about 12" too long, at least!

other than that, it's VERY NICE! but I thought we decided no '70 6ers had Black paint stock?

Sounds like nice B.S... same car, hacked together (from the info that we've been able to "piece together")

Text in the ad...

>>1970 Porsche 914-6. Excellent Condition. This Porsche is the Ultra rare 914-6GT. The VIN# is 9140430116.What makes the car so special is the M-471 package from the factory which included front and rear steel flared fenders and light weight balsa/fibre hood and trunk lids and more.....This is a homologation special that was built by Porsche to take the 914 racing. This is not a clone but the real thing! The car has spent it's whole life racing and was recently professionally restored to a very high standard. The car is awesome with the factory Carrera racing seats and the 220hp 2ltr. flat 6 not the 110hp engine from the 911T. $34,500. Call for more details.

Yeap, that car is in our (my friends shop) as I type....Ive got a bunch of helpful info from you guys as I am a 914 ignoramus....

Its nice looking, and very clean, it is however tweaked to the point that is can barely be aligned. I was at the shop when it was on the visualiner and the numbers couldnt be made to work...

I wonder why Mike has it on his site, given all the problems?

Jen how did you find canillos website?

heres a tasty lil tidbit

from a 1991 Pano

HEY!!! THAT"S MY CAR!!!! (I think) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I'll need to go home to check my VIN numbers, but I believe the person in that add is the guy I bought my car from. The story is dead nuts on for my car too! Something smells even more fishy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

I'm a bit embarassed that it's been discussed here before. But, really, what 914 related topic has not been beaten to death here, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I missed it the first time, so it's new info for me. I see the pictures of the dealership showroom has 4 914's, but their inventory page only lists 2?

This is the car I posted a couple weeks back with pics from the Atlantic City Classic car show. I thought something was hokey about the 914-4 steering column and no provision for the hand throttle. It also had fiberglass flares not metal as stated in the add. It actually looked pretty good and I wouldn't have turned down a set of keys for an afternoon, but 26K.......Ouch!!!!!!

It also had a funky set of turn signal lense gaskets (looked homemade) and no targa to windsheild seal at all. When I asked the rep if I could check out the motor, he opened the trunk! I said never mind! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)

Well, I just dug out the bill of sale for my car... vin # 4702907919 for the selling price of $5k. That means that someone bought the very bent /6 tub with none of the original parts on it. I've always wondered what happened to the /6, now I know. Some sucker sunk a ton of money into it to produce a car that shouldn't have been built. From what the PO had told me, the /6 was so severly damaged that he just stripped it and sent the hulk off. If I remember correctly, he said the /6 lost at least 2' off it's front.

I'd still say that I got the better end of the stick. I got a straight /4 chassis with all factory /6 parts. The other guy got a poor /6 chassis with a bunch of /4 parts. I even got the other cars floor pan, battery tray and dash.

So that means that the black car started out green.

The car is at my friends shop, the new owner is in has started litigation against the seller..

While it is apparent that this cars history has been documented as a salvage build or something. Id like to get the facts as well sorted as possible. I have a scan from a 1991 Pano, does anyone have the actual Pano they wouldnt mind parting with?

DJM would you put something in writing that could be used??

Im gathering info for my friend and the new owner...... when the car was sold in '91 it was advertised as a rebuild, after DJM owned it who knows what happened to it..... then it surfaces as a 914-6GT

You have all been super helpful......

Oh this is getting good!!

I just went back and reread the other threads. This is better than any soap opera. BTW, I never owned the /6, just the conversion bought in 2000.
