Why does the shift knob show reverse under 5th? Did the 916's have a different trans?
The trip odometer shows 666. It's last drive must have been hell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You beat me to both of those questions/comments Drew.

Are the fiberglass front/rear pieces and rockers missing or just not pictured? Those can be replaced, but I was just curious.

All parts are with the car and undamaged. I started to take them off for a paint job.

iirc - an adapted 915 tranny.

And the car is "a beast" so perhaps 666 is right afterall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) :-)

From the looks of the pics, I feel very sad. So basically what I am seeing is that someone is going to pay over 100 Grand for a stamped number? I just don't see anything different from our cars, sans the roof. Hmmm...

Hey Christopher,

Time to educate yourself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The 916 was supposed to be the most exclusive Porsche of it's day and only 11 were build (before Porsche decided the car would be too expensive to market and abandoned the production)

It has a modified 915 gearbox (renamed as a 916 gearbox) and the 210bhp 2.7 engine from the elusive '73 911 Carrera RS
And, like you already said, a welded on steel roof

Try to buy an other Porsche (or any other car) that is so rare for that amount!
Way outta my league though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

cheers,

Jeroen

I'm seeing weird things.

Like:

Front trunk floor has paint peeling off and blue overspray on parts that shouldnt be painted. The car appears to be white under the blue in the front.


But, I see yellow in the rear trunk. The rear decklid appears to have been replaced and painted (Revenna green in the trunck latch hole)

I also didnt know that they installed GT coolers/shrouds in the 916's.

His pics are much better this time than they where last time.

It wont bring 100k. (neither did the others) as far as I know NONE of them have actually sold for this number.

Gentlemen,

I appreciate Mr. Roberts exact observations and am happy to provide any detailed pictures that are requested. I will also check records and speak to previous owners should it be evident that anything was replaced on the car. To the best of my knowledge today that is not the case. But I will look into it and post any new developments here.
Although I generally don't discuss prices, multiple bids are well on the wrong side of $100k. The validation of theses bids are ongoing by a highly respected bankier to rule out any fake bidders.

Notice the upper dash pad, is this specific to the 916?

I agree with the white in the front trunk and the yellow or green on the decklid and the rear light area.


It amazes me if this is the real deal how negleted things are for such a rare car.

didnt there used to be a roster of the the rare cars like the GTs and the 916's would this shed some light on this car?

I think it was in the AA catalogs or something.

I personally "hope" that you receive over 100K for it. It increases the value of cars I already have sitting around.

Porsche may have began with white chassis' like they currently do with all the race cars (GT3/GT3RS) which would explain the white under the blue in the front.

I'm happy to see a real GT cooler and shroud in the front. This is not negative in my eyes.

Keep us updated. If you could, have somebody shoot a pic from under the car in the rear. I have a 916 tranny disassembled and would like to see one complete.

It does baffle me that the car was neglected.

AA's 916 shows a GT shroud but the front trunk is completely covered with carpet, I wonder if that is glue residue in the front trunk

It looks like it may have a windshield radio antenna too.

The glue is from the trunk carpet.

I love the interior. It screams 70's and bell bottoms. Doobie Brother's blaring from the 8 track. Saturday night fever sound track in the glove box.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

yepp, it seems to be in a sad condition ...

the last one i saw a while ago went for some $80k or so and looked much better than this one. sure would boost the price if it was restored right ...

just my 2 cents,
Andy

PS.: the car was repainted at least once, not very good job tho, overspray on parts that could have been taken off easy (2 bolts!),
plus the rear lid appears to be replaced.

914 Serial tracking

I found this link and if this car checks out, it is one of 8, 2.7L 916 built in 1972!

Sounds rare to me, but I don't think I will plunk down $100K plus the $40-$50 more it would take to bring it back to concours.

Heck, you couldn't drive it!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)
