ok i was looking at the 914-6 on evil bay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-914...1QQcmdZViewItem

and as I look at the picture, there is a couple of thing weird like the engine shroud is red but thats no problem the carb air box is wrong but no problem either,, the big problem is that picture

if you look at the side it has the curved reinforcement seen only on the 73 and up tub,, so this is very likely a rebuilt transfer or something else not right

Hmmmm......

It also has the older style jack bracket, which makes you wonder if the car is a "stitch'em together" job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

A previous accident could have been the reason for a later (73)front support being installed on this 914-6. If you are bidding I would definetly ask the owner. Plus a PPI with the car in the air on a rack will help to answer a few of your questions.

On top of that, the guy seems to have a bit of an attitude. See the Q&As he's posted.

I know ebay is full of tire kickers, and that can make people crazy, but why bother posting the answers?

I'm always amazed at the fact that most of the guy's selling 6r's,never have pictures of the serial#'s on the car.That would always calm some concerns.


Also,every car photographed from 20' away looks gorgeous.Even mine.


Definately recommend a PPI on this one.

I have a strange feeling that I have seen this car before... the gouge in the door skin looks totally familiar (in a weird deja vu sense)... wasn't this car on eBay a year or 2 ago?
