This one is as good as it gets. I've never seen a cleaner car.

Will they be driven or sit in someone’s collection? Time will tell next time these cars come up for sale. That’s the 4th or 5th 4 cyl to go for over $50,000 in the last 6 months or so. Values are moving up... Wonder if any of these guys belong to this site?

I have... the Ravenna Green one! Lol. The one you posted had obvious tape lines in the door jambs, overspray on rubber trim, dry spots on the A-pillar... it shouldn’t have sold for what it did. The Ravenna car was 100% all original and bizzaro clean. Only saw a door ding on the drivers door and some really small marks on the front but original paint so... It was amazing.

The Dephi car was the subject of an extensive magazine article a few years ago. The original owner/restrorer used anything new that could be obtained. It was completed to concours level and later purchased by a gentleman who knows a thing or two about concours having won 4 PCA Manhattan Awards and numerous class and over-all wins at PCA Parades since the Manhattan was retired. Were I to restore a car he would be on the short list.

Looks brand new...

If I owned it, I would not drive it.

For that reason, I'm glad I don't own it... in addition to the price tag.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I was going to comment on it. It's wrong! It's been stenciled rather than stamped and is too perfect. I wouldn't give a nickle over $50K for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Why over-restore the tin and not bead blast the fan shroud? And what’s with the frayed edge on the vacuum hose? I’d rather buy Brent’s car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hello everybody. I'm the guy who bought the Delphi green car at the Gooding auction, and I've just signed up here. I had a 914 way back when I had hair, and couldn't resist this little beauty. I can't find any of the blemishes a previous poster mentioned -- to my old eyes this car looks just like it rolled off the line. Not that it's perfect. I can't get the front hood to open (oops); the headlights don't seem to pop up; the turn signals are intermittent; yadda yadda. Needless to say, I've been pouring through some of the threads here looking for tips! Thanks, in advance, for your help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't consider it a Faberge egg. It will definitely be driven. But maybe North Carolina is a little bit of a reach...
