"This car is a must have item for the true Porsche car collector and is sure to do nothing but appreciate."

Translation: It won't run because the gas is turned to varnish and the hoses are dust but it will always appreciate you. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I'm wondering about the colour (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
I'd say it looks like bahia red, but this wasn't available in 1970 ...

"Original tires, all original paint and body panels."

what would you say?


in addition: "HORSEPOWER - 85" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I would say Bahia Red. Could easily be a carry over into 71. Or the car could be a early 71 listed as a 70.
Nice car, great price.

I totally misread this at first and thought it was a 6 so I didn't think it was that big a deal, but seeing that it is not only a 4, but a 1.7, this is pretty impressive. Yeah, I know the bidders at BJ tend to be more than a little overboard, but it still says good things for the values of our cars. I'm gonna make sure I file this away to show to my insurance company for my stated-value insurance!

I wouldn't put much stock into the Barrett-Jackson prices. This is the place where the deep pockets go to pick up toys and end up paying inflated prices, because of the auction frenzy/pissing match. I like watching it on Speed, but would never buy a car there, sell one maybe.

Check out the prices on the other same vintage cars (Camaro's & Vette's). They're all up around $85,000. Think a good teener will ever be worth that much?

Probably not. Like blitZ said, a lot of boneheads paying too much at the Barrett-Jackson auction. Plus, I think the 914 crowd is far too intelligent (read: cheap) to let the market get that inflated.

What year did they start using the black plastic grille under the fresh air intake in the cowl area?

I thought they all had those (it's missing on that red car).

Pretty clean car, but I think it has been totally redone (just my opinion).

I think they started putting the grill in about 72.

Very nice car - looks exactly like my '72.

Couple of comments:

There were no black plastic grills under the fresh air intake on 72's.

The carpet is correct, though those nice floor mats may make it look funny (like to have a set of those).

Glove box door appears to be either way open or missing.

It is defintely bahia red.

Nice to see one with the correct rear valence (rare!)

price doesn't seem too high to me if it really has 15,000 miles, original paint and original tires.

That's a VERY rare novelty that is easy to find someone to pay $20K+ for.

That car looks like a perfect 914-6 conversion donor car! Its terribly over priced. Plenty of low mile 914s lurking out there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Really?

You know of other 15K mile or less 914s in pristine condition with original paint and original tires available for way less than $18K?

Let me know where they are, I'll buy them.
