This is purely a FYI post as I am not familiar with the car.

I did notice something very unusal. Take a look at the CARDEX. It states the car was equipment with a wood steering wheel. I acknowledge the accuracy of CARDEX's have been questioned alot recently, but...........is anyone on the list familiar with a 914-6 with a wood steering wheel from the factory?

Shouldn't the headlight surrounds be white?

Not to be nitpicky, but that's not a Kardex - it's a PCNA COA.
More to the point of your question - I've never seen a factory wood wheel in any 900-series Porsche, but I don't claim to have seen them all.
But with Porsche, you never say never, and almost anything could be special-ordered. Somewhere someone has (I believe) documented the known Porsche option numbers. If there's an option number for it, someone could for sure check the box...

Looks like they've at least taken the shift boot from something with a tower. The hand throttle does still peek out from the front, so I'm thinking it's just the boot...

The COA states the color as Signal Orange but the written presentation cleverly states it was painted factory code L 98P Metallic Blue, without stating that L 98P was the original color of this car. Would have liked to see a pic of the door tag with the color code.

Also, was the chrome bumper available alone, outside of the appearance group? The COA did not mention those specific features.

Yes, 1291 was my car for 8 years and I did sell it at the Phoenix Club event for $20K. From the photos it looks like they painted the car. She was orange from the factory and had the original engine case numbers when I sold her per the COA.
Great car. Never let me down. I would get in her and drive her anywhere.

Could you order a targa vinyl delete or wasn't targa vinyl included in the appearance group for -6's?

The shift boot looks like it's from a 915 shift console. Perhaps it's been converted?

Actually, many early 911s had wood wheels. Mostly pre 68. They were pretty big in diameter though. Some were steel spokes some were aluminum spokes.
The wheel in the car looks awfully aftermarket to me.
The list of non- original things on this car is pretty long. But....... It sure is pretty!

Beautiful car with some liberties taken along the way. Regardless, it is very clean. That's a $40K+ car.

Joe are you the Dos Equis man?

"Owned by a well-to-do Porsche racer from sunny Orange County, this particular 914-6 was mainly used as a personal "grocery getter" during race weekends, traveling on the upper deck of a very expensive, 2-story trailer to the most famous race tracks in the country and shuttling its owner to the Motel and back. California vanity plate is included in the sale. "

I believe there was 'the' Appearance Group. I couldn't tell you if it was all installed at Karmann or done (in the case of /6's) on the line at Zuffenhausen.

Especially in the case of a color-change car, more likely it was done (i.e. not re-installed) at the paint shop. All speculation and conjecture on my part. Removing the vinyl from a /6 is not trivial and unlikely to be done on a whim. If you have to take it off for a repaint, it's an easier question to leave it off.

So - 'Could' you delete just the vinyl from a /6? The real answer is i donno. But since - in 1970 - the Appearance Group vinyl was a clue - obviously not definitive but another clue - that you had a /6 and not a 1,7 - I'd guess few owners had much incentive to do so.
