to make 350 hp at the crank, it would have to be a boosted motor... ot would have to be a race tweaked 3.6 or 3.8.......

There are a lot of errors there. 4702700886 is an error: probably 4702900886
That is a very early 1970 not a 1972.
There were 260 914/6 built for MY 1972.

merrill, could you swing by and get some info for me please. The paint code and chassis numbers from the Karmann badge on the drivers door hinge post. Chassis # should be like: 4819507 48th week Monday (1) and 7th body.

Also, if the decal is still there on the door latch post, get the date code; it should be in 1969. You might want to check the VIN in the usual places.

Back in 2002 at the West Coast Wramble (organized by Herr Herzog (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)) the tech sessions were held at SportHaus in Reno NV. (yes, the same place). And they had a 72 914/6 on the site at that time. This car looks remarkably similar despite the fact that they do not list a /6 VIN in the cars.com advertisement.

It's the only 72 914/6 I've ever seen and all of the other VIN tags matched this stamping from the left fenderwell in the front trunk.

Here's a pic that Was taken back then:

Looks like it could very well be the same car. I wonder why the description in the ad indicates 72 /6 but the VIN does not?

And 72 sixes really do have the 4 banger ignition switch on the column.

Yup. I see that now. They've advertised that yellow car before. A long time ago in fact.

If I could have the $35k+ back that I have into my as yet unfinished /6 resto I'd buy that thing in a heartbeat.

Not really. I don't have the room to finish it at this point. Kinda of a long story. It's sitting safe and sound in the garage. Sometimes I tell people that I'm letting the paint cure. THat's it... the paint is curing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) And it will need another $10k. I had $6 before I bought the zambeziteen. Then I started buying up parts for it with my available car cash. Then I bought back my first 914. And then...

You probably get the general idea.
