Except for non number matching engine issue. It looks like just about everything is there. To me, entry level would be a roller missing many pieces. Basically a VIN. in a rusty tub. Just my opinion.. |

I want to say late 6s had the same column as a 4, IIRC. But the windshield wiper fluid reservoir looks like one out of a 4 too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Jalopnik has a feature wherein they offer up an ad and ask readers to decide whether it is a "nice price" or a "crack pipe."
$39,500 and a box of parts with a non matching engine number? To me: crack pipe. |

Steering column is wrong for a '71. Only the '72 914-6 had the -4 ignition on the column. Mystery science theater on that change.
Funny that the original heat exchangers are there and in pretty good shape. Everything else is so rough that it would cost a fortune to put this six back to nearly original condition. Plus it doesn't have the original engine. Price is way out of whack for a six in this shape. |

The ignition switch has been hacked from the dash.

You got to wonder, did they loose the keys or was this car stolen @ some point? That dash has been butchered where the key is supposed to go.

I can see a picture where it's obvious that the original -6 ignition key position was cut out, probably when they tried to convert to a -4 steering column. I don't see any parts that wouldn't require massive amounts of restoration. It would be interesting what someone actually pays for this parts collection, though the VIN is appropriate for a 71.

Straight 911 oil cooler on the motor and I didn't see any of the 914-6 engine sheet metal anywhere. .

I see the -6 ignition switch, wiper stalk, and turn signal stalk in the jumble of parts near the white headlight surrounds.

I had a '71 never should have sold (don't we all have stories like that) and it definitely had the left sided 911 type key and steering column.

I see the -6 ignition switch, wiper stalk, and turn signal stalk in the jumble of parts near the white headlight surrounds. No 6 steering column to be seen though. But at least it comes with rear shift linkage rods for both side and tail shifters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Everybody is picking on this car, but I for one, would drool all over myself for a 1971 914-6. If I had the funds, the car would be in my garage already.
